The 1968 Barracuda "Super Stock" featured in the 2004 movie "Highwaymen" is not just a car; it's an emblem of relentless pursuit and vehicular vengeance. Driven by Jim Caviezel's character, Rennie Cray, the Barracuda becomes a formidable force in the pursuit of a ruthless serial killer who uses his car as a murder weapon. The sleek and muscular design of the '68 Barracuda provides a stark contrast to the sinister intentions behind the wheel, making it a symbol of both power and malevolence. As the vehicle hurtles down the highways in pursuit of justice, it takes on a character of its own, embodying the relentless determination to stop a madman. The 1968 Barracuda in "Highwaymen" becomes an integral part of the film's thrilling narrative, leaving a lasting impression on audiences as it roars through the screen in pursuit of justice.

I saw this movie late, late, late on TV one night ages ago and I still believe it is underrated. I would love to know more about the Cadillac in the movie, too!

[@CarStarz42]

Yeah, pretty decent film and I'll probably get to the Caddy eventually when making second rounds through my massive list 😉👍

[@Roddy_Zeh]

Definitely one of my favorite hero/anti-hero cars. I remember watching this movie on DVD nearly every day after getting home in my highschool days. It made me admire this generation of the Barracuda so much. Thanks for the vid! 😎👍🏻

[@CarStarz42]

Cool and glad you enjoyed the video 😉👍

[@keithpearson7059]

I had ( 7 ) '67 - '69 Barracudas , 2 were O E. Formula S , 383 , 4 speeds . My last one ( a relative sold 😢😢 ) looked just like the one in the movie .

[@Roddy_Zeh]

@@keithpearson7059 Nice, friend! Hope you can get another one someday! 😁👍🏻 They're great cars and not as valued as the E-body generation, sadly.

[@EliAngwin]

Highwaymen is an awesome movie and has been one of my favorites for a long time now. It really deserves much more attention. This movie should be as iconic as Christine.

[@CarStarz42]

Indeed 😉👍

[@hemichanga8939]

This was a great one to cover! What an interesting movie that was.

[@CarStarz42]

An interesting movie indeed 😉👍

[@christopherhelber720]

Thank you! You probably found the tread on A-Body mopars only forum I wrote couple years ago. All your infos are correct. Apparently the Barracuda was sold by the owner in Ohio but don’t have any details on it. Fun fact: Robert Racki was the main stunt driver for this car and broke is arm in one scene when he was laying on the hood of the caddy at the junkyard scene.

[@CarStarz42]

Indeed, forums are an important part of my researching for videos and thanks for the additional info friend 😉👍

[@agnosticlibertarian175]

Coincidentally i was watching the final chase from car chase wonderland a few days back about this movie. Both the 68 cuda and 72 el dorado were good cars in the movie

[@CarStarz42]

Cool 😉👍

[@scottvincent3062]

Being a Mopar guy what cracked me up was when they revealed it was a superstock Cuda, those things with that hemi handled like a dump truck with flat front tires and a rocket strapped to the back, those caddys the bad guy had would literally be able to drive circles around it. A little bit of useless trivia, Chrysler was so serious about winning races in order to save weight they did away with the window mechanism and used a seat belt to hold it up and the glass was way thinner than stock which meant that when racing the torque from the hemi would twist the body and the side windows would bind in the frame and shatter. None of the original ss cudas or darts if it was raced have the original side windows.

[@CarStarz42]

Wow, dang. Interesting stuff. 😉👍

[@edwardbianchi192]

Never heard of this movie. Will add to list of movies to see. Thanks!

[@CarStarz42]

Car scenes are definitely the best part of it, but not too bad of a movie in general 😉👍

[@justinsanders2705]

I stumbled across this movie late one night by accident and really enjoyed it. I would definitely recommend checking it out. Another great video, my friend. 💪👍

[@CarStarz42]

Thanks, yeah; pretty under rated movie in general 😉👍

[@rockzhard2009]

that's some next level suckage finding out we lost a musclecar for a damn Herbie movie. especially when you gotta figure the danged ol' VW bug made it thru the movie just fine. that is beyond not right. thank you sir for another excellent bit of knowledge.

[@CarStarz42]

You're welcome and agreed there friend 😉👍

[@nicolascraddock5406]

Oh Yes great choice. Didn’t even come to theatres near me when it came out I had to order it to watch it. They made great choices for the look and I sound of the Cuda were perfect. Liked the villains Caddy as well. Thanks for making these videos!

[@CarStarz42]

Thanks and glad you are enjoying the channel 😉👍

[@the_shape_8728]

I LOVE THIS CHANNEL!! You know why? Not only does it cover awesome cars from some of the best movies to come out of Hollywood, but also open my eyes to hidden gems such as this one! Had never heard of this movie before watching this video earlier today. Paused it part way through to watch the movie and WOW did I enjoy it!! Can’t go wrong with an old school Mopar and Jim Caviezel is a phenomenal actor to boot! Thank you!!!

[@CarStarz42]

Very glad to hear you enjoy the channel and also got to see the movie now too 😉👍

[@jimmyturcotte8824]

My dad has had one of these (not from the movie but the same year) and its been around since my sister was born he's giving it to her for her wedding this year

[@CarStarz42]

[@JRhatesyou]

Another movie you could do is "Destiny Turns on the Radio". It's an old Tarantino movie where the devil drives a B5 blue Roadrunner with the dealer spinner hub diplays on the front wheels.

[@CarStarz42]

Cool, I haven't seen that, but will add it to the list to look into. Thanks 😉👍

My neighbor had a real 68 Barracuda (not the super stock in the video) just the barracuda was one of the sweetest cars l have ever seen and had had a ride in . The only thing he did to it was bored out the engine and for that he had to ramp up the motor mounts.

That was cool. Never seen the movie but looks like fun. Plymouth had a lot of nerve cramming the 426 Hemi into those cars. Off topic now... in the remake of Dawn of The Dead there is a scene in a parking garage that highlights a 1969 Lemans blue Z/28 Camaro. It was bizarre and totally out of context with the movie.

I'm not a Mopar guy, but didn't '68s have side marker lights? someone mentioned this in a comment, and I don't see them in the white one at 1:41. I'd look more now but am watching the movie. Is a classic flick, lesser known and has a horror element, but is right up there with "Two-Lane Blacktop".

[@CarStarz42]

Yeah, regular '68 Barracudas did have tiny circular side markers, but it was absent on the Super Stock models. 😉

This movie made me really fall for the 67-69 barracuda's. I actually got my hands on a 67 factory manual car a few years ago. The plan is to give it a similar statement to the highway men car.
