I thought I would throw my 2 cents into this discussion. I couldn't agree more with KILLER6, the statement of "Is it to bad for YOU" is so true. As well as most of the sentiments expressed. I grew up around the wrenching community and my dad and uncle owned a couple of body shops back in...

Bump I would have thought that with 146 views someone else would have experienced this issue and had a solution. Am I doing something wrong?

Bump Any more suggestions?

Actually 69 barracuda. Will the Dart caps work? (Think so)

Hey guys, decided to replace the rear crossmember while doing the drivers rear spring support. The crossmember was rusted on the drivers side and bubbling through at the frame mount. Removed the crossmember and it appears that the frame rails are rusted between it and the end pieces. See pic...

Thanks for the advise guys. I think I will just keep it raw, no clear. Thanks again.

Can anyone tell me if they have clear coated a carb before? Did it last? I just had my Carb rebuilt and it looks like new. Carb guy said I should clearcoat it with a hi-temp clear if I wanted it to stay new looking. Just not sure how it would stand up to any gas leaks. Thought I would...

Thanks guys, I appreciate the advice. Going to go with Rock Auto's.

Are the ones at Rock Auto and Layson's the "Cheaper" ones from China or the better ones?

Hi Guys, I plan to replace my old fuel tank since it's leaking. (69 Barracuda) What's your advice on tanks? I see that Layson's has a (Ni-Tern LT35) gas tank available. Rock Auto seams to have the same part # CR11C. What's the good, bad and ugly with tanks? Thanks for your help. Patrick

Hi Guys, I have read post after post regarding interior quality etc from the likes of Legendary, Year One, Dante's and PG. Seams like there is a vast disagreement even when it comes to the quality of Legendary. (Of course most of these are old posts.) Need your advice. I want to replace my...

Thanks guys, it looks like Carlisle is the one. I appreciate all the input. Pat

Hi guys/gals, hope you can offer some advice. I want to attend either the Mopar Nats or Carlisle this fall. Flying from Western Canada so can't do both. In your humble opinions which one is a better bang for the buck? (ie. more muscle vs classics and vendor/swap areas) Thanks for your...

Hi "mopowar76", yep, rear defrost but it's a Fastback. As far as I have learned, 69 differed from 67-68 in that the 340 could be ordered without the "Formula-S" option, but still have ALL the "S" characteristics other than the rear badge. I have the fender tag and a mint broadcast sheet...

Great catch, the vinyl top is sweet. Glad to see another 69 340 that's not a formula S. Like yours, mine's an oddball as well, optioned out with buckets, console, decor interior, front discs etc. Even has a rear defrost, but radio and stripe delete. 340-S emblems on the front fenders. Hope...

Ya, that's pretty much how it is. It has buckets and console though. Sport dash with woodgrain and blacked out lower panel. Even the console has woodgrain. It's really sweet looking with the E5 blue interior and exterior. Haven's seen too many like it. I find it strange that it has so...

My 69 FB has the E55 package. 340, 4bbl, heavy suspension and shocks, KH Disc, PS,PB, Decor interior, Auto, buckets, console, sport dash, rear defrost, stripe delete, radio delete. 340-S emblems on the front fender, grey grill surround and reg rear trim, no S badge and not blacked out. The...

Hi Guys, getting ready to replace my drivers side rear quarter panel on my 69 Barracuda. I want to cut the panel an inch or two below the top crease just above the fuel cap. I see AMD makes a nice replacement panel but I don't need the whole panel. Both Goodmark and Sherman make replacements...

Thanks Tom, nice to know there are a few odd-balls out there like mine. In all the pics of 340 cars with the 340-s emblem I have never seen any photos of non-forumula S ones. I am still trying to track down how many like our's were made. I was speaking to a guy who commented that the "dealer...

Wow, that looks great. Can you give any details on what mods you did, springs, wheel sizing etc? Patrick

Hi fella's, does anybody know if the following book from Year One is worth getting? Still trying to find out how many Non-Formula S 69 Barracuda fastback's, with 340's, were made? Part Number: GGB3 "Production Options Code Book" for 1969-1971 models...

So, does anyone have production numbers on 340-S (non-Formula S) models for 69? I think mine might be a bit weird as it's a E55 car, with 340, high end interior, pass mirror, bumperettes, rear defrost, PS, PB, Fr Discs, torquflite, optional hubcaps, optional steering wheel, rally dash (no tach...

Well, the 340-S emblems are totally original on mine, but no "Formula-S" emblem on the back so I think the notion that they were added by the previous owner is incorrect, being she bought it new and was an elderly lady. (Estate Auction)

Yes, mine is definetly a 340-S car, not a formula S. Standard rear trim piece on the trunk, grey grills and 340-S emblems on the front fenders. I wonder how common they were in this configuration with B5 blue exterior and interior, disc brakes, PS, PB, automatic, Rallye Dash and Decor...

Wow, thanks guys, you are awesome!!! Yep, that makes more sense now. It is a E55 base car that has just been optioned up. Not a formula s but a great car nonethless. Especially since it's still all original and for the most part all complete. Should I post a pic of the build sheet? It's in...

Ok, I am getting it, I think. But what is all the 340-S fender emblem stuff about? Just to signify the engine? Does the "S" not stand for Formula S? I am thinking the car is just a basic model optioned up with the 340, heavy suspension etc, but not a designated "Formula S" car. I guess the...

Hi guys, I apologize in advance for the Newbie questions. Just trying to figure out the real "mopar" world. I am aware that the Barracuda was produced as the "Cuda" in 69 with the 340, 383 and 440, stripe package, blacked out grills and deck applique with a "Formula S" badge. Are these...

Thanks guys, that's awesome. Makes sense. Here are my visual observations. - Blue (B5) exterior with matching interior - High end (Decor) interior with wood grain dash, door panels and console. Chrome inserts in both the front and rear seats (Buckets and Bench) and chrome accents on the...

Hi folks, brand new to this site. I just picked up a solid and mostly complete project car. A low mileage (41K), numbers matching, all original 69 Barracuda at an estate auction. I am confused with the fender tag. The decoding sites don't seam to help me much as the top line is 3 sequences of...
