Barracuda was one of the unique Muscle Cars to ever roll out of
Detroit. Don't miss this early production 1968 Barracuda (Serial
Number 100689)! In 1968, the 273 was replaced by the 318 cu in (5.2
L) LA engine as the smallest V8 available, and the new 340 cu in
(5.6 L) LA four-barrel was released. The 383 Super Commando engine
was upgraded with the intake manifold, camshaft, and cylinder heads
from the Road Runner and Super Bee, but the more restrictive
exhaust manifolds specific to the A-body cars limited its output to
300 bhp Also in 1968, Chrysler made approximately fifty fastback
Barracudas equipped with the 426 cu in (7.0 L) Hemi for Super Stock
drag racing.[3] These cars were assembled by Hurst Performance and
featured items such as lightweight Chemcor side glass, fiberglass
front fenders, hood scoop, lightweight seats, sound deadener, and
other street equipment such as rear seats omitted. An included
sticker indicated that the car was not for use on public roads; it
could run the quarter-mile in the mid-tens in 1968.
