1967 Formula S Plymouth Barracuda fastback- Redefining Mopar Muscle Cars

This black 1967 Formula S Plymouth Barracuda fastback is the beginning of the second generation Barracuda. It's redesign and inclusion of performance packages contributed to the popularity of the muscle car era. John refers to his work as a restofication, meaning that it may not be a number 1 show car but it looks almost as good as new. John proudly displays it at local car shows.
John is an expert in Mopars and tells the story about his love for Mopars as a young man and displays pictures of his original 1967 Plymouth Barracuda convertible. We also get a look at his white 1967 Plymouth Barracuda coupe. The contrast of these two cars sitting side by side is pretty special. Hang in there and take an afternoon drive with John as he shows off the cornering performance of his Formula S Barracuda. The white Barracuda is not too happy about it but you can only drive one car at a time.
This video includes the use of a camera jib (crane) for some incredibly smooth shots. The use of the GoPro captured the feel of John and his car speeding around corners. This is one videographer that had to hold on tight and some of the footage was not usable as I went flying around in my seat.

Thanks for sharing your video. I wish I had saved my 67 fastback. I'm 55 and still think of it often.

I bought a Formula S used in 1970 with a Ed Pink 430 ci big block. Long gone but sometimes at night I dream of just running that rocket ship through the gears one more time.

Back in early 70s in high school in a little town in pa there where 8 of us even girls we each had a barracuda 6 of them were blue one red one silver all fastbacks on Saturday nights we would all meet in the shopping center and the police would judge these things no alcohol no drugs just fun we would all sit there an just watched all our buddies cars go by and honk there horns what a sight that was boy do i miss them days

[@UpcastGryphon]

Currently have a 67 fastback myself. It's quite the project.

[@jeffleblanc8850]

My husband and I owned a Formula S model. Barracuda in Canada. Unfortunately. Because of the salted roads. .It was pretty rusted out....in the 1980s Times were hard.for us we had to sell it. It broke our hearts..... until this day. I can still see it pull out of the driveway.

Awesome and revs them up like a Boss ! Sounds Bad Ass like a Mopar should, Thanks

[@TogaManGuitarViols]

My first car! My parents were original owners.

[@user-ux2zu8mc2h]

bro, how did people do this before youtube? lol.....even with youtube and forums, I STILL couldn't do this

[@johnleake708]

I have a 1968 fastback that I restored and effectively recreated what you have. It now has a 340 4 speed with sway bars etc and drives way better than cars of that era did.

[@rickey5353]

While the gearheads had their Mustangs and Camaros, we got more "tang" in our Cudas. Those cars spelled pure SEX...Loved my '67 and 70. Thanks.

[@brucebeamon5460]

AWESOME STORY would have liked to hear about the negotiation for the sale of the convertible and why it was just sitting there , Glad you did give the price you payed for it so often that is left out ... Barracuda were the FIRST cars I took notice of and wanted as a kid ! Lately I’ve revived my interest all over again especially since there’s rumor of them being brought back into production...I’d still rather have the original fast back !

[@bdogjr7779]

WOW🔊III[[[[☮I miss my 68 Barracuda notchback🤳🇺🇸Way cooler than🌴◇¿.🌴Camaros & Mustangs😎🎱👍🖖

[@connorhall4555]

[@wangbowtie1]

My brother had a 69 cuda 340 really fast .sold it for 1100 )))

[@tonyaraica]

Very nice cudas...I know what you mean about finding parts.It took me awhile to find mine.....

[@LuisGarcia-rh3qo]

That's why is very valuable to find a complete Barracuda with most of its parts.

[@justsumguy2u]

I know everyone loves the fastback, but in my opinion, the coupe or whatever it was called was the better-looking car

[@DanielAlvarez-xl4qy]

I always thought these cars were like mini dodge chargers bar ass cars

[@jean-noelchristophe4272]

The sound of the V8 gives me goove pimples.

[@glengabruch4664]
