And the champion of the 2nd Gen internet extravaganza…..the mighty Sunfish and her CudaGirl!
68/9 was thumbwheel. 67 was knob. As said it's "possible" but VERY unlikely.

Thanks , found out it is a 67 with 68 marker lights added. It does have the knob radio.
lol, sadly neither street version of the '67 nor '68 could be purchased with a 440. So '69 is definitely the 1st place boss. 
I don't think anyone has mentioned this yet, but the 67 dash pad is unique; not flat on top, but with a small ridge.
The steering wheel, tach and radio are not stock, of course. The pedal dress up was added a couple of years ago. Not visible in the photo is the 150 mph speedometer I swapped in to replace the original 120. This original slant six car (now 360), also came equipped with a vacuum gauge, which it still has.
I replaced the goofy plastic 67 windshield and rear window trim and gaskets with stainless steel from a 68, back when you could still find second gen Barracudas in your local junkyard. Back window is the original 67.

You can also put 69 trunk trim and taillights on a 67 by drilling a couple extra holes. I did this for a while, then went back to the 67 setup. The 67 trim covers the extra holes.
My brother's 67 Barracuda had Burlwood dash and Burlwood aluminum door panel trim along with a vacuum gage and a 150 mph speedo. It is a 273, auto, A/C, fastback.
My favorite is a 68 fastback Formula S, second is a 67 Fastback Formula S, any Formula S engine. A 69 Barracuda does nothing for me.
That's how I feel about a 273.
Yep really, almost as good looking as a 340 or 440 in an A body imo, but hey it's all about opinions, right?
