67-69 Barracuda differences

The instrument panel with round gauge pods is called a rally panel in service manuals, including those few installed in 68 valiants ( due to a parts shortage ). 150 mph and tachometer do not define a rally dash. The wood grain on a dash was part of deluxe interior package that extended first to doors panels, and later to floor console.
The lower dash pads were designed and produced to protect occupants knees in a collision. Chrysler was against seat belts. Mandatory seat belts laws defeated the propose of this design/feature. Gone for 69 model, never seen again. Call it a package tray if you want. You wont fit a package on the tiny pad around the bottom of that model a/c vent assembly. Its knee protection. AMC Gremlin and others did have a hard plastic tray beneath the dash.
