I think by Jim Schild??? -have special large bolt pattern KH disk from the A-body rallye and trans am program (Tarrozzi was a member of Team Starfish) -had mufflers/resonators with turn downs

That would make them destined to be GTS/"S" cars. But it may be more involed than that. Both got convertible frame bracing at least. I think that is more than what a 383 4spd got?? So I don't know if you could consider that a Formula S or GTS body or a "S"/GTS plus. Darts have 270 interior trim. Most all the things that made a Formula S were either gutted/not used or not applicable to a Super Stock. Only thing I wonder on the Barracuda is whether the Super Stocks had rear valences with dual exhaust cutouts??? All and only "S"'s got dual exhausts in 1968. That book will help/answer these questions. Or others on this list. I don't know those S/S much, but more familar with the Formula S and GTS cars.

I do believe that they had the torque boxes.... I have found a real Formula S car that I might use for the project...its a really nice, low mileage car...numbers match, buildsheet, original paint car:) anyone want to buy some parts?
