Three pounds of elbow grease and a lucky PowerBall ticket...and that car could look like this.......
I posted that one for sale a while ago in the CL find thread looks like the seller dropped the price some more.

where`s the add, post it. I can`t see the FS badge.
Regardless, I wouldn`t shell 75k for a girls car.

Not a Formula S. It is a 340-S, learn about 69 Barracuda s!
Jill Biden might have a stash of that material. Seems like something she’d wear.
Any definitive info on the "S" vs 340-S? I've heard this story before.
As far as I know a 340-S is an S (A53)
Why would they make an S and not give it badges other than on black tail panel. And make a 340-S??

The S still stood for formula S. So 69 dropped the medallion on the fender, dropped the fish but added 340-S under the barracuda script which that car has none. I guess you can`t provide the story or add on that car like I asked? My guess it`s a mod top with a teener.
No need to be sarcastic and tell me to learn about 69`s , I`ve bought several good books on barracudas, and had to pull them out to check. Prove me wrong? I`m always open to learn...
Something definitive would be nice. I've heard the S vs 340-S and it makes ZERO sense that Mopar would make a 340-S and separately a Formula S.
I owned my S and researched for over 30 years, with still no definitive proof either way.
Makes no difference to me either way, sold the 69 S and now focus on our 67 S.

Just to muddy the waters, I *think* in 1969 the 340 was available in a Barracuda without the Formula S package. So no 340--S badges. I'm not sure, but the 340 stripes might have been available on a non-S 340 car.
I looked at a nice one back in the day, but I didn't want a bench seat column shift automatic. In a Road Runner, heck yeah, but not a Barracuda.

Well I searched Hamtramck and no mention anywhere of 340-S as an option. "S" and 'cuda pkgs yes.
I googled "69 340-S" and came across this link, IMO proves(to me) that the 340-S were simply engine callout for the Formula s cars.
Black tail panel and 340-S callouts. Wish I could read the fendertag in pics. Beauty of a cuda!

Here is what I have learned in my research on 69 Barracuda with 340 motors:
The 340 could be had without the formula S package or the Cuda package.
The formula S cars had the black tail panel with the formula S badge on it.
The formula S cars had the 340 S badges on the front fender, except if it was a side stripe car with the 340 callout. The 340 S badges were replaced with fish in that case.
I am not sure if this is entirely correct, but I believe it is.

Car in link above has 340 stripe AND 340-S.
In the end they're cool cars, but @HemiSSDart is sposed to be teaching us something?

Here`s what I`d consider TOP dollar for one of those cars if it`s a teener.

I might teach you grasshoppers a thing or two if I have the time. I am not on the 'puter or phone 24/7 like a few on here, I have been at Carlisle Chrysler for the past three days and am tired as ****, have to transport my 67 FORMULA S 383 4-speed Barracuda to DC in the morning then go to Albany, NY and pick up a 69 GTS 383 car and take it to Jacksonville, FL then back home to Chicago. I will let you guys stew on this for a few days and then give you the education you desperately need...
