There was a short article in today’s Hot Rod mail on a barn-find ‘69 Barracuda that was an early pilot car for the factory manual. Serial number was 26. If you’re an early ‘Cuda fan you might want to take a look.

Very cool, I believe current owner is a member here. He reached out to me(I think) asking about my 69 vert. If that engine block in article is the orig one, why is cast date in 67?
It is possible that pilot cars were built in a special facility away from the assembly line Which had stockpiles of parts from previous pilot car builds . And maybe they didnt plan on releasing it to a dealer .
