I like it, but he'll never get 44K for it.  A body Barracudas just don't bring that kind of $$ unless it's a '69 M code car. 
Contrary to the opinions of some, I am not dumber than I look.

I personally love those Gen II Barracudas ... and this one in particular. :inlove:

I like that it has the E-code ... the little engine that could!

Great car ... these Gen II Barracudas are going up in value because the E-bodies have become very expensive putting them out of reach and making quality Gen II's like this one more attractive to the average enthusiast.  :alan2cents:

A close friend of mine has been restoring his '68 273-4spd convertible for awhile now...I don't know, is that considered an "E" code  in 1968 ?

Did the 273's have dual exhaust in 68?  In 67 the hp 273 had single exhaust with a huge chrome tip.  You can see in the above link.

Edit:  I just looked at the dealer data books on Hamtramck-Historical.  They don't even list a 273 in 68 for a Barracuda.  The data books list the 318 as the standard engine.  Did they add the 273 as an option in 68 after the data books were printed?

The Dodge data book lists the 2-barrel 273 as the standard engine in the Dart for 68.  No 4-barrel 273 is listed.

what's the VIN? 5th digit, is it "E"? (shouldn't be an option for '68)

the 340 replaced the 273 4bbl HP as the a-body performance small block

Oops....you guys are absolutely right....his is a 340 4spd car....my other buddies 67 Dart is a 273 4spd...Not sure what I was thinking...

He just sent me pictures of the restored 340 hood inserts so I guess I should have known...  :headbang:

Yes, the 273 wasn't available after '67.  The standard V8 in the Barracuda became the 318 (F code).  The 340 and the 383 were options based on the package (Formula S).  My old '68 Barracuda convertible started life as a 318 auto and I converted it to a 416 4 spd.

From the ad. I never heard of the e-code either. I knew about the Formula S and the Hurst Hemi's.

20 years ago this would have been my wife's dream car to go with my Challenger.  She has since lost any interest in a car for herself.

BTW, that car does NOT weight 2800 lbs.

That reading and misinterpreting some shipping weight number on a no option and base /6 vehicle probably not event a convertible

That's a 3400-3600 lbs car.  I've digitally weighed a few.
