The Plymouth Barracuda is a two-door pony car that was manufactured by Chrysler Corporation from 1964 through 1974 model years.
The first-generation Barracuda was based on the Chrysler A-body and was offered from 1964 until 1966. A two-door hardtop (no B-pillar) fastback design, it shared a great majority of parts and bodywork with the Plymouth Valiant, except for the huge and distinctive wraparound rear glass.
The second-generation Barracuda, though still Valiant-based, was heavily redesigned. Built from 1967 through 1969, it was available as a two-door in fastback, notchback, and convertible versions.
The third generation, offered from 1970 until 1974, was based on the Chrysler E-body, exclusive to it, and the slightly larger Dodge Challenger. A completely new design, the two-door Barracuda was available in hardtop and convertible body styles.
The second-generation Barracuda was redesigned with model-specific sheet metal, yet still shared many components with the Valiant. It rode on a 108 in (2,743 mm) wheelbase A-body and was available as a convertible,and a notchback coupe, in addition to the fastback design.
1967 Barracuda notchback hardtop
The new Barracuda was chiefly the work of John E. Herlitz and John Samsen,[4] with Coke-bottle side contours and heavily revised front and rear ends. Design changes included wider wheel openings, curved side glass, and S-curved roof pillars on the hardtop.
The roofline on the fastback coupe was more streamlined, more steeply raked, and with a much smaller flush rear window in place of the distinctive massive wraparound in the original model. Also, the overall use of chrome trim was more restrained.
During this time the first U.S. Federal auto safety standards were phased in, and Chrysler's response a requirement for side-marker lights distinguishes each model year of the second-generation Barracuda:
1967: no sidemarker lamps or reflectors, and backup lights on the rear valance by the license plate.
1968: round side marker lamps without reflectors, mostly white tail lamps with backup lights in the tail lamp housing.
1969: little changes on the front grille, rectangular side marker reflectors without lamps, and the backup lamps were moved back to the rear valance by the license plate.
In 1969, Plymouth placed an increased emphasis on performance. A new option was the Mod Top, a vinyl roof covering with a floral motif, available in 1969 and 1970. Plymouth sold it as a package with seat and door panel inserts done in the same pattern.[10]
The 1969 version of the 383 engine was upgraded to increase power output to 330 bhp (246 kW), and a new trim package called 'Cuda was released. The 'Cuda, based on the Formula S option, was available with either the 340, 383 and, new for 1969, the 440 Super Commando V8.

This really brings back memories. In the late 80's I had a 68 barracuda. It originally had a 340 but thanks to my friends dad who had a salvage yard it had a transplanted 426 from a 70 cuda. Sold it when I got married. No longer have the car but still have the wife.

[@markforster6457]

Talk about a sleeper! I'm referring to the car.

[@anthonyhendricks7377]

Great build as always!!! Wish they would bring back the Sox & Martin SuperStock version of this kit! Hopefully with all us older builders it will happen. Keep them coming my friend!!

[@doublenickelbob]

Great video Chris, keep em comin, i'll keep watching.

[@michaelgautreaux3168]

Thank God they left the kit alone! Kit issues, don't care 👍👍 Many thanx Boss!

[@RangerRickNRA]

I like the whitewalls. I love the color.

[@THROTTLEPOWER]

Great kit, you can do sooooo much with that '69 Barracuda!!!

[@taskmaster58]

I still remember that advert. from back in the day, "Let Plymouth win you over and the beat goes on" to Sonny & Cher's "The Beat Goes On" music.

[@CorporateBoar38]

Good call on the side vents! they look good

[@danielkemp4801]

Love the old Mopar kits, you have done a great job with the kit and the video. Keep it up.

[@andrewluchsinger]

I remember building a Cuda back in the early 80's. It never survived all the moves I made in my life. Thanks for a great memory. And thanks for a great video and build. Greetings from Manitowoc.

[@chadbaxter753]

Good morning hpigguy hey you did an episode on model magazine .I can't for the life of me remember witch one it was I have fine scale now would like to change it. like you said not enough car stuff. Thank you for the in put . Keep modeling

[@craigwellsjr3968]

Looks awesome!

[@matthanson4217]

Im not a mopar fan but I like that cuda. Nice build.

[@robertmungo5428]

New music! Cool!

[@chassegallerie2910]

It is QUITE the custom beast you did here, Chris! Like it. I think that over the kit is quite good. Tho, I think they could improve it by making the headlights separate clear lenses, more complex under carriage, where the exhaust system, rear suspension, etc and putting in an optional HEMI engine. Tho, what I REALLY think this kit is missing, at least for me, is dogdish hubcap (and the wheels that go with them), else, it's a pretty solid kit that, while it could be improved give good end results.

[@Merylstreep1949]

Wow its got the hemi parts ❤❤❤❤

[@SolamenteVees]

Fantastic kit! Those look like the ultra-rare Kelsey Hayes "recall" aluminum wheels on the chrome tree... very cool.

[@openexhaustmodels5139]

Brilliant mate 👍

[@michaelcooke2559]

Very nice build. Great color choice. It looks like a straight forward build. Very simple kit. Thanks for sharing.

[@ronroberts2453]

Really nice build and presentation Chris 👌! I really dig the color choices, well done!

[@jeffreystpierre6898]

I like it 👍

[@r.a.monigold9789]

1989 I bought a '69 Cuda slant 6, automatic as my son's first car. While it was one of MY dream cars, my son wisely said thanks and sold it. This build is a real memory flogger. I bought the Plymouth kit with slant six I didn't use so I'll build "my" Cuda with that engine. BTW, it was white with black interior and WIDE white wall tires too - YUK. He's always been smarter than me...

[@BamaScaleModels-vq7hk]

Hey very cool ! Another nice video

[@lylebriggs923]

Got too love all the extra goodies in this kit

[@joemazzola7387]

Great job great color combo The 69 barracuda had a different hood than the 67 or 68 That one year hood was used on Dodge darts from 73 till the end of production in 1976 It's the dart with the pointy grille

[@andrewmcgibbon9785]

I built this kit when I was about 12. It did come with a hemi engine for the drag race version. I think it also had racing slicks and the inside of the rear fender wells were marked so you could trim them for the slick tires. There were a very popular 69 barracuda on the drag racing circuit at the time. It was a wheelie car with a hemi engine in the back seat called the Hurst Hemi under glass. The 68-69 barracuda was also a popular Funny car body. Both Don "The Snake" Purdhomme and Tom "the Mongoose" McEwan ran that body.

[@Guns_N_Gears]

Outstanding Chris!!!! The color combo pops. ❤it

[@johngligo4049]

Sweet Barracuda build Chris! Definitely looks the part!

[@myesenc]

Great build for an MPC kit 👍

[@robcates2383]

Acool kit, Chris! This would have a cool one, to paint rollbar, traction bars yellow, say they LAKEWOOD, GREAT VIDEO!!!!

[@jamesharrington4923]

Great build bud. I've had this kit several times before and always wondered why with the drag version, there's no headers or slicks. But it's still a good kit.😊

[@maryfiltz800]

Love the way you did this one - thanks.

[@hensleyshobbies-doug7761]

Damn, that looks good Hoss, like you said "Tuff"! 👍👍🤘✌️

[@charlesmcclure5994]

It looks great Chris love the color 👍👍

[@jasonwaltrowski2315]

Nice to see this one back, however I was hoping for the 67 or 68 but maybe in the future. Still happy to have it

[@nickc-dw5tj]

Great build, made it look great

[@jamestauschek5424]

Dang Chris, awesome job on this kit!

[@clarenceupton6243]

Very sharp looking automobile 😊❤👍

[@acrowe2512]

heheh I like the way you think.... brush your teeth and they won't hafta use these things on you. lol never thought I'd hear that in a model building video. Cool car. You did a nice job with it.

[@davidhinkson8856]

I built this kit in 2004 as part of an AMT 1969 Muscle Car set which also featured a Ford Torino Cobra and a Hurst Oldsmobile 4-4-2. I'm not sure what happened but some of the decals were damaged and I couldn't use them, but nonetheless it built up into a fairly nice model despite its age and simplicity. I'd definitely consider getting another one since I don't have many Chrysler cars in my collection.

[@purpurahaze9179]

I've always liked the trio packs I have two of that same one.

[@INeeDMyGarageTime]

Watching you brush paint is satisfying looks like you do it with ease. Me I don't have a the sturdy hand. Nice build and color love the wheels

[@martindaredare]

Great video again, nice kit ,excellent build really smart all the best Martin 👍

[@waynehawkins9090]

Another great video!

[@tonymadia4554]

looks like a nice easy kitt too gonna be the next model i get but im thinkin of doing mine purple.....good work as always

[@bradleyspray9702]

Nice buil, my only knock on mpc kits is the one undercarriage, could be more detailed

[@goforitpainting]

Cool as always. 👍

[@jackycherieth4634]

Superbe montage.poueriez vous faire un montage moto pour les débutants? merci

[@martyoberman2108]

I'm glad the kit came with whitewalls... woohoo! The expanded decal sheet is a blessing too. I have an older issue car that I can use the script and other decals on. As usual, you did a phenomenal job on the car but I'd STILL love to know what model number Molotow pens you use as there are a few of them. Keep rocking buddy!

[@CorgiConnect]

A black "Plymouth" logo (like on a superbird) on the rear quarters would have looked sweet as well.

[@rodnokken7759]

Certainly one of Chrysler design's best bodies. Too bad the kit seems light on chassis, interior and engine detail. On my maybe list, but thanks for the usual completeness of your coverage. Cheers!

[@lennylogatto2031]

This is a nice kit and the build looks awesome. I wish they would bring the parts back from the killer cuda issue with the slotted rims. They changed the custom wheels and added the recall rims as the only choice in the 80’s Plus now every new kit is getting those 5 spoke rims which is getting boring. Plus what makes it a 3 in one?

[@scaleautoguysworkbench]

Did you have problems fitting that grille into place? Mine sure fought like hell going in. Had to sand off a bunch of plastic and it still was really tight. Nice color BTW.

[@gerdogstenc2534]

What .... no drag slicks?

[@seanh2390]

maybe i missed it - what tires come with the kit?

[@martyoberman2108]

Yeah, I missed it too. That's one of the main reasons I buy a kit, for the extra tires. I don't think Chris mentioned them in the parts breakdown section of the video.

[@danielrousseau5968]

Cool built !! Does it have other tire option in the box ?

[@hpiguy]

A set of MH slicks if you want to go drag option.

[@genemiller6837]

I think the hemi parts are for the trust hemi under glass car I think it was the second version there was a 64 barracks as well as a 69 or 68 like the a100 lol red wagon both would wheelstand all the way down the 1/4 mile

[@phantom629]

i'm beginning to think you have a thing with 383's, lol couldn't you have put the rear section of the stripe over the scoop? I'm still curious about your paint selection. when are you going to build a joe dirt Daytona kinda thing? a weekend racer, no money for shiny parts kind of rig. love the show man, i hear ABC needs a replacement for the view maybe you could fill in 😁

[@hpiguy]

[@andreperrault5393]

Chris makes comments in his videos. They slide in and match what’s going on or being done, so are really good for a laugh.

[@tony748748a]

Do the seats look uncomfortable to you they do to me lol.

[@davidparker2259]

Wait, wait, wait. They make brushes for teeth?!

[@robertlaporte9540]

It's another let down again for model kit..Molded chassis
