1965 Plymouth Barracuda Formula S questions

[Al Bundy]

Does anyone here know how many 1965 Plymouth Barracudas with the Formula S option were made? Also were these cars equipped standard with a 273 V8 or could you get a slant six?

 

[Hell_Fish]

Formula S only came with a 273 4bbl (commando).

If you are looking at a Formula S to buy, be completely certain it is a real Formula S and not a clone. Easy to add the parts and pass one off as a real S...

if a true 65 Commando Formula-S the fender tag will be

ABC
312

Thanks guys,there is a supposedly real 1965 Barracuda formula S for sale locally for $3,500, it has the circular formula "s" fender badges and a small chrome console shifter but its a slant 6 which didn't seem right. Thanks for clearing that up for me.
