The 2018 date is the release-program year, separate from a represented vehicle year or base copyright.

Packaging Details
Documented package: Replica 1968 card, button and black window box; /6,000
For carded or boxed examples, compare card/box design, assortment markings, barcode area, retailer/event identifiers and included contents before treating two examples as the same release.
Replica 1968 card, button and black window box; /6,000. Preserve all original presentation components. Any edition denominator describes the documented run, while the individual serial must be read from that example's package. The replica card recreates a 1968 presentation; it does not make this a vintage 1968 issue.

Custom Barracuda — Frequently Asked Questions
Collector FAQs
What identifies an exact release?
Use multiple agreeing identifiers: casting, year, product number, wheels, body treatment, base markings and packaging where documented.
Does a matching casting name prove the release?
No. One casting can have many releases and variations across different years and assortments.
Why can a value be missing?
Exact-item completed-sale evidence may be insufficient. The guide does not substitute asking prices or unrelated releases.
Why can the reference image be missing?
The page only promotes a release image when a suitable Shopify-hosted reference is available. Missing media stays pending rather than being replaced with an unrelated image.
