From what I`ve heard , there were 2, 330 horse 68 baracuda fastbacks that came out , because of engine shortages when they were built . I had one , it was almost uncontrollable on the tires of that period , only heard of one other . Even stated it on the window sheet, of course I didnt know what I had at the time !! Much less smart enough to save the window sheet -----
