Look for a white tag on the main wire harness, if it's still there it will have the year of production on it.

A 68 Barracuda with a 273 in it, what motor does yours have ?

oops, didnt reply, tried on my phone and it messed up...
ive got a slant 6, motor is from a 74 valiant, (orginal has spun rod bearing, still have it, may rebuild someday) gm hei ignition, and a 2bbl setup from a 77 volare. in the middle of a disc brake conversion now, its been too cold and the bike is in the basement, so its a little warmer to work on! have a buddy here in indy with a 68 baracuda, his is a fastback, but im partial to the notchback style.

Yeah, the Notchback's looks kinda cooler, I agree. Probably also because they are more rare'ish.

Cool car man, don't have personal experience with the Slant 6 , but they seem to be good motors !

Funny think, my small V8 also never let me down , they darn thing always starts , nomatter how cold or hot it is, and I does not even have a choke on it.

Funny little engine that loves to rev.

yeah, its a trooper...the fastback ones are awesome too, love that glass, its pretty iconic. havent had any experience with the 273, except there was a guy back near my parents that had a completely junked dart 273 same color as mine, he wanted a lot for not alot of car, too much missing/broken/rusty, the passenger door latched with a lock hasp screwed to the door if that give you clues to how bad it was trashed BEFORE it sat through 30+ illinois winters outside/hungry animals inside.
