1968 Plymouth Barracuda 340 Formula S — My 1968 340 Formula S Barracuda was and still is my all time favorite car. The 340 was as comfortable at a 1/4 mile drag strip as it was screaming down the freeway. The bullet proof 727 Torqueflite was backed by a 3:23 Sure Grip 8 3/4 rear end. The car had front disk brakes and the Formula S suspension package. The badging was phenomenal. If I ever decide to buy another muscle car this will be it!

Great Example Of A Rare And Often Neglected Mopar. — The car is still new so we're still working out some bugs. But overall it runs great, handles well, sounds awesome, and is a real crowd pleaser. It trophy'd at it's first ever show. Hopefully there is more hardware to come.

Great styling. Not many around anymore.  

Cons

Limited rim/tire choices with the oddball 5 bolt 4-inch bolt pattern.  Expensive to restore due to limited parts.

Great Driving Car With Performance To Match. — This was my first car and is still is my baby. The early Barracudas were overshadowed by the introduction of the Mustang. This car was considered the compact, but had more room for the family than its competition and offered a level of performance with the new 340 small block that many big blocks could not match.

Barracuda — Everything about her is amazing. She has rust but thats something that can be fixed.. Slant 6, 3.7 litre engine. Interior needs work but thats a cheap thing to sort. Picked her up for only $ 600 from an old friend.

I Miss My Cuda — This was by far one of the best cars I have ever had a the pleasure of owning and driving. I can't wait to rebuild another some day. This was my first car so I didn't have much say in what happened to it...it was sold before I had a chance to portest against my parents decision.
