Edit: looks like '67 based on side marker lights; rally wheels on front means larger bolt circle associated w/front disc brake car.
All 3 years available w/383 under the Formula S option.
Nice project!

This car is a 1969. 1967 models had no side markers. 1968 was the first year of federally mandated side marker lights, which, on all Chrysler products were small round lights for that initial year.
No A-bodies had large bolt pattern wheels until 1973, and rally wheels were not introduced until 1970. They made both small and large bolt pattern rally wheels, which is why they are a popular choice to use on cars (such as this one) that predated their introduction.
While the hood will fit on later Darts, there are some differences. The earlier Barracuda hood hinges themselves are different, and mounting holes are smaller, they also have sliding plates. One adjusts at the hood, the other at the hinge. In order to fit the Dart, the front corners of the Barracuda hood needs to be trimmed at the lip. The Dart hood understructure is different in that it has more crumple zones than the Barracuda.
This is going to be a cool project! Shoehorning the B-deck wedge in there should make for quite some fun!
