1969 Plymouth Barracuda Convertible
VIN – BH27F98410XXX
Aug 1998-These pictures are when I first got it, taken behind my house. It is a 318 CID, 4 speed but the original engine is gone. I got it with a correct date code 318 from a 1969 Dodge Charger. The bell housing is the original; Turquoise green (?), like the big blocks and I’m guessing the engine was the same color. I painted it dodge “red” again. Everything else was there, even the hubcap. It may have rotted but it was there.
I think it’s a 1969 dodge block. Block number: PM318R
