Default Re: 1967 Dart GTS 383 / Barracuda 383 Formula S

Chrysler-Plymouths move to put a 383 in the 1967 Barracuda was
a direct response to the 1967 competition;
Chevrolet Camaro 396
Ford Mustang 390
Pontiac Firebird 400

Rated at only 280 Horsepower, due to the carburetor limitations and restrictive exhaust system.

For 1967 NHRA Stock car classificatiion;
Notchback (#3119 lbs.) = 11.14 wt/hp = C/S......C/S = (10.60 - 11.29)
Fastback (#3202 lbs.) = 11.44 wt/hp = D/S.........D/S = (11.30 - 11.88)
Convertible (#3224 lbs) = 11.51 wt/hp = D/S......D/S = )11.30 - 11.88)

Supposedly only "9" 1967 Barracuda Convertible, 383, w 4/speeds were produced.
