Been checking out the site for awhile, decided i should finally get around to posting.

I'm from Winchendon, MA on the border with New Hampshire and 40 min ride to Vermont. I finally got my baracuda, my friend had bought a '69 formula S when he was stationed in Germany, it is one of those Eruopean built automontage? cars. He shipped it back when he got out and we got to drive it back the morning of Sept. 11, 2001 from a new york city army dock to cape cod. That was a long trip especially since we had to take back roads since the city had shut down all the bridges and tunnels.


I got a '69 fastback original paint. Traded my '68 el camino with a guy for it (wife had a baby so i needed a car with a back seat) who had bought it from another guy in rhode island who was restoring it. He had replaced the 318 with a 340 and put in 4.10 gears and a cheetah reverse manual valve body (which isn't that fun to drive in this car).

Cool thing about the car is it came with all the original paperwork, and it shows all the maintenance that was done to it up to 56,800 miles, which is cool since the car has only 72,000 miles on it. (I put the autometer gauges in it and have the original gauges that show the actual mileage of when i bought it)

Welcome to the site. A quality piece of iron there. I want to hear more about your car. Is the speedo KPH or MPH. If it goes to 200 I'm think KPH.

MVRCorp, the speedo in my car is MPH. I didn't want one that went that high but thats what i found used off ebay for a good price. My friends '69 formula S from germany is KPH

Does that go to 140mph ? Ive never seen one of those before !

I think it goes to 120mph, I just remember when he let me drive it that all he knew was 120 KPH = about 55MPH
