1969 Barracuda 340 Formula S Restoration
Have just started a restoration on a '69 Formula S 340 auto.
First - A bit of my Mopar history:
My very first car was a 1969 Barracuda Formula S fastback 340-4 speed that I purchased at Healey Motors Ltd in Pembroke Ontario shortly after I was married in July 1968. I bought it new in Oct 1968 for $4,598.60 CAD less $1,501.10 that was my wife’s prized 1965 Plymouth Valiant V100 4 door with a slant 6.
In addition to the 4 speed and Formula S Package, the Cuda was optioned with power steering and brakes, AM radio, Fold down rear seat, 3.55 sure grip, variable speed wipers, wheel disks and E70x14 tires. (The options totaled ($147.50 CAD)
After family arrived, I reluctantly parted with it and bought a 1978 Dodge Aspen 360 cid Station Wagon!!! The Cuda was subsequently destroyed when it was T boned by another car.
I've owned a couple of other '69 Cuda's over the years but later sold them.
This will be the 3rd major project I’ve tackled since I retired.
The first was a 1970 Superbird Pace Car

The 2nd was a 1969 Barracuda convertible 6.1 Hemi restomod.
