Is it tubbed? How cut up is it? How much of the original, unique parts are still there: thin steel doors, thin glass, fibreglass fenders and hood, window straps, seat brackets, seats....

It is a period correct restoration but not concours.

I let the 1968 Factory HEMI Super Stock group over on FaceBook know that you were looking to list it.

----Al,,, There was a black guy from Cape Cod back in the day that had a totally original black BO29 Barracuda. I think he also might have been from somewhere in Rhode Island as well, but I saw the car on the Cape. Wondering if this is that car. Tried to buy it back then but it wasn't for sale......Bill S

Bill,
Not really sure about previous owners at this point. I really only know that he wants to sell it but I will get the details later. Let me know if anyone is interested prior to me listing it for sale.
Thanks,

Saw it on Class Racer. Seemed like someone answered that question pretty well explaining options and histories affect on pricing.

I had two original 68 Hemi Cars. If they were owned and raced and won some good races their stock goes up. If it was hit by mid 70's Tubbing and caged not so high as the stockers. It depends on who campaigned it also. I have seen these cars go for anywhere from $100K raced and tubbed to $150K. Depending on who ran it. Restored and unmolested $250 to $500K and those were famous cars Like Sox and Martin, Dick landy, Gratiot Auto Supply Ron Mancini. You should get ahold of Mark Janecky who runs the registry on these. I hope I spelled his name right. He can give you more insight. Good Luck on The sale.

With those wheels your definition of a period correct restoration is way different than mine lol

Just saying what I was told. I know there is tons of paperwork including Galen Govier but I haven't been privy to it yet. I will see the paperwork soon.

My Mopar friends have told me in the past Govier has blessed some non righteous cars.

While it does look nice, I'd hardly call it a &quot;period correct resto&quot; unless the &quot;period&quot; is the '80s - '90s. Always wanted one of these or a Dart, but it seems GM race cars seem to find me, not the other way around. Good luck getting it sold.

[Als 70 L78 Nova]

OK, I hear you. Anyway you cut it, it is a real BO29 car and pretty nice.
