Re: Off Topic Barracuda Question

[Bill Watson <wwatson6@xxxxxxx>]

The 340-cid V8 was available with or without the Formula S package (367) in 
1968 and in 1969 with or without the Formula S (A53) package or with the 
'Cuda 340 (A56) package.

In 1968 the 383-cid V8 was available only with the Formula S package (367) 
and in 1969 only with either the Formula S (A53) or the 'Cuda 383 (A57) 
package.

As for C bodies, the lower priced models with drum brakes offered power 
brakes as an option.   My father had a 1970 Polara with a slant six and it 
did not come with the power brakes option.  Power brakes were included in 
the disc brake option or as a mandatory option with disc brakes.
