I believe it was a "spring special" package for the Barracudas and since it came out mid-year (February) there is not much surviving paperwork to document it & other spring special packages. What's your car's SPD?

Here's the description for it from GG's "white book":

The Sport package included:
1. Sport Steering wheel(wood grain)
2. Custom sill moldings
3. Rally wood grain dash with 150 mph speedometer

I don't know about that white book info they have misled me before. I got my info from a original 68 sales room brochure and The Barracuda book of Information which shows a dealer option order list.

My cars build date is 4/19/68. I read the package options out of the book and my car has them all except the wheel covers. Also, other codes on the fender tag concur with the listed options in the spring special package.
