1968 Barracuda fastback- Barris appearance kit

[S'cuder]

The $523.70 “George Barris” bolt-on kit consists of five parts, none of which are functional, and include :
* Side pipes.
* wheels.
* Fake hood scoops.
* Side scoops by rear windows.
* Fiberglass deck lid with spoiler.

Too bad the wheels aren't functional. They look pretty good, though.

I got a chuckle out of that myself. Looks like they hold air.

That rear decklid is kind of cool. The rest, well......

I hate the fake side pipes and not big on the hood extensions. But I do like the deck lid and the side vents.

Rare photos of 1968 1969 Plymouth Barracuda from movie "Corky" w/ Robert Blake | #409438812

A local guy here in my car club just sold his. At least I think it sold, I can’t find his ad anymore.

You can kinda see it in this pic

Here are some pictures from Donny's post of his car (not the red one) from an old thread.

Yes it’s absolutely Donnys old car. Found the front plate tucked into the trunk drop off and it matches the one in the pick with his thumb. Nice to have a bit of history on it.

That rear panel altho similar to 69, is unique with "savage", as well as the lock hole/cylinder looks frenched?

Just was in contact with Brad who runs the Savage FB stuff. He tells me that the embossed Barracuda was flattened and a fiberglass panel was then riveted over the panel.

Thanks George, makes "sense". Be interesting to see the 2 pieces separated, just for curiosities sake.

Hard to believe it’s been almost two years since I brought this car home and started researching it. Boy does time really fly when you’re having fun… or just working I guess. Couldn’t find the right wheels or side pipes sadly.

Awesome !!

Did you find original side and hood scoops for it ?

Are we going to see this at the upcoming Spring Fling. If so, I'll mention it to Rob Wolf from MCG magazine.

I found pieces of what appeared to be originals. And restored them to the best I could. The deck lid I had restored by the guy who restored the last original bat mobile.
I hope to make it to spring fling with it. I have a few weeks of work left on it, got a little froggy with the build and did an engine and trans swap so it’s taking a bit to get everything just right.

This is a car with strong local roots since Barris' old shop is just miles from Spring Fling.
