W J,
Yes this is rally a D-Dart thread.
But since you brought the 273 Commando's up. Yes they could wind.
Didn't want to bring this up on this thread. But back in May 1968,
my father bought my mother a 67' Barracuda Fastback, yes with the
273 Commando, 4-speed with the console. Yellow, with black interior.
It was equipped with the Performance Group. HD rear-suspension,
HD torsion bars, Front Sway-bar. Sure-Grip 3.23 Posi.
6.95" x 14" white walls with deluxe wheel covers. Yes with that special singl-exhaust with the chrome-tipped resonator. No, it was not a Formula-S.
Cost, $2735, from McNulty Chrysler-Plymouth, Carmel, New York
Only 4000 miles on it. The sales managers wife didn't like the
4-speed. Either did my mother, it was a horrible long-throw
Inland shifter, with the reverse trigger (equipped with a rubber-band
tension thread). A real pain, when utilized with the console.
