Doesn't state engine. Absence of a V8 badge suggests it is a slant. But who knows? The alloy wheels suggest it is converted to BBP, unless he just crammed on a set of 5 x 100mm rims (actually on second glance, I see 10 lug holes, so maybe he had them drilled dual-pattern). Very little detail...

Interesting treatment. It really makes sense from an aerodynamic standpoint, so if Chrysler had had a factory Trans Am team in 68-69, it's possible they would have come up with something like this...

One other obscure difference: 67s with the 273 Commando (which could be Formula S or not) got a unique rear valance with a single driver side rectangular cut out. Standard valance had a single round cutout. 383-S had dual round cutouts. The 273 was dropped in 68, but the 340-S got dual...

Just to elaborate on this oddity, this particular profile distorted the view out the rear window, and customers complained, so they changed it in 68. Same thing happened with the plastic lock strip window trim — customers of the 67s complained about it when it shrank. I have to think that Mopar...

I guess I'm on the other side of this issue. I want smooth power when I put my foot down — I couldn't care less about a lumpy idle, in fact I hate the shaking. To each his own.

I don't recall ever seeing this before... of course, I was only 12 years old in 1969. 1969 Dodge Dart Swinger Concept Car for sale | Dodge Dart Swinger Concept Car | Cars for Sale | Classic Motorsports

Seller doesn't seem to be aware that there were no factory 67 Hemi cars... just blithely rattles on about "S" code which means nothing.

Well, as you know, you have to remove the tire to see the size stamping. But you can measure the width through the center hole by setting a short straightedge against the flange on either side and measuring from one to the other. But then you have to subtract the flange width, because wheels are...

Nothing special about the grease — anything that sticks will work well enough. White grease might be a little thin.

Mechanically, the Duster is nearly identical to the Valiant. Where there are differences, for example the doors or quarter glass, the FSM will include directions for each. Just be glad you don't have a 1967 Barracuda — the factory left it out of the manual all together. They issued a dealer...

The Firm Feel web site used to have good photos showing all the welds and gussets.

THIS: "In 1970 the rules changed and the SCCA allowed them to de-stroke the factory engine so the 1970 Z/28 and Javelin and Mopar did not have to have a 305 limit on the factory built models." That is why Chrysler did not field a factory team until 1970. The various independent Dart and...

If the brown color was woodgrain, it doesn't make sense to use brown leather. Go with the blue leather to match the upholstery. I assume this is a sew-on wrap from Wheelskins or similar, not one of the goofy ones that you wrap laces around.

I have seen Jay Leno's turbine car, and it certainly looked like the production Turbine Bronze color. I don't how you could disprove that — it's highly unlikely that your Turbine Bronze Barracuda would ever wind up parked next to an original turbine car.

Yeah, the one for the gauge is much larger.

What you and your local shop may not know is that the front ride height setting (described by oldmanmopar) needs to be done FIRST. Here are some typical alignment settings appropriate for modern tires. The factory specs with positive camber and minimal caster (not even shown on this chart) are...

Very similar to my first car. Mine was blue, no vinyl top. Otherwise, I think everything matches.

It's not quite that simple. If you try to set up a template as a vector file, you need to have a complete intact sheet as a reference for dimensions, and you somehow have to match all those fonts — which back in the day were not digital, and have probably never been digitized. Both the printed...

The "gold" interior for 1967 Barracudas was called "tan"... more of a brown/tan combination... not sure that would be attractive in a black car. The carpet and the dash frame would be literally brown. There was a "copper" interior but it still had the same brown elements. Definitely would not be...

No, it won't have a well for the lamp on center, because that is exactly where the latch catch is. That's why the sheet metal panel is completely different for the two latch situations. Each version has well for the lamp, whether a lamp option was ordered or not. But they are in different places.

With the center trunk latch, the lamp is off-center (it has to be). With the two latches, the lamp is on center. The sheet metal is different for each — it has to have a stamped-in catch point for each latch location, and it has a stamped well with cut-out for the lamp unit with screw holes in...

The single strap gas tank was 67 only. A real puzzler: the trunk fold-down panel had either 1 latch or 2 latches, but this did NOT correlate to year. Bonus weirdness: the trunk lamp location was different depending on how many latches there were — this was a sheet metal change in the unibody...

My recollection is that a Spring Special had a red appliqué across the trunk lid between the aluminum panels (connecting the taillight lenses). Any sign of that?

JBC — that's a very large diameter tire... my chart says 28". Amazed you got that in there. Surprised you didn't go to a 50 profile.

Then that would be a "no".

Actually, from the table, it would be rarer as a "non-S" 340 convertible than as an "S" convertible... 47 total produced as opposed to 83. Automatic numbers would be maybe 75% of that. So we are talking in the range of 30 to 50 cars, either way. At that point, the number of cars with any...

1967 Barracuda trunk lid aluminum trim: correct top and bottom pieces (they currently offer a "one size fits both" piece which is not right for either), and center panel (not available at all). Mopar made twice as many 67s as 69s, but they repop the enormous 69 tail panel and not the 67s.

When I bought my 67 Dart GT (in 1980) it had blue muppet fur glued to the top of the dash and the console, and blue terry cloth seat covers (in a black interior). Oh, and the Cal Custom chrome unsilenced air cleaner, on a 2bbl 273. And air shocks, of course, with the stock tiny-*** 13" tires (to...

The dealers would install wood seat spacers if the customer complained about the seat height. I have a set for a 1967 Barracuda bucket (driver side only). The anodizing on the aluminum becomes dull with age. The problem is it is literally as hard as sapphire (aluminum oxide — same stuff). I...

With those coffin style headrests it would seem to be from the 70s, though I can’t recall anything that looked quite like that. My grandmother had a late Valiant 4dr but it had adjustable headrests IIRC.
