1968 Plymouth Hemi Barracuda BO29
The 1968 Plymouth Hemi Barracuda BO29 page treats the car as a factory-authorized Super Stock race package, not as a normal Formula S option and not as a later E-body Hemi Cuda. The public boundary is simple: a BO29 claim needs the body/package identity, Hurst conversion evidence, drivetrain agreement, and car-specific paperwork before an individual car should be treated as real.
The BO29 belongs beside the Dodge LO23 Hemi Dart because the same Chrysler Super Stock program used compact A-body cars, Hurst conversion work, and race-only 426 Hemi hardware to attack NHRA Super Stock. Street Muscle and Plymouth Barracuda references agree on the big contours: 1968 fastback bodies, Hurst assembly/conversion, fiberglass front panels, Chemcor/lightweight side glass context, stripped interiors, no normal street-use warranty posture, and a race Hemi that made the small Plymouth an extreme drag-strip tool.
Production counts do not agree cleanly. Wikipedia-style reference summaries use approximately fifty fastback Barracudas, while Street Muscle keeps a conservative 50-to-70 range. This page records both as a source-backed conflict. Photos of regular 1968 Barracudas help viewers understand the A-body shell, but they do not prove BO29 identity; auction, show, and video examples remain context unless individual-car paperwork and component evidence line up.
