The red #15 Barracuda looks like Mike Ritz's Team Starfish Barracuda. I built two engines for that car. Unfortunately the second one ended up all over the track after he had some valvetrain issues. The moral of the story is, when your engine guy tells you the valvesprings need to be upgraded, you listen...or pay the price.

Built this for my wife back in 1996. She drove it everywhere, everyday for first few years, then it was too much $$$ to drive to work when we moved and the comute turned to 50 miles each way. She still gets out and streches on weekends and handfull of shows we go to.

Nice. Can you tell me what the wheel width, backspace & tire size is? I will eventually go to 16s or 17s when my current tires wear out. You just can't get good performance tires for 15s anymore. I was lucky to find the Yokohamas I have on my car currently.
Thanks!

I would refer you to the link that I had on the motech subforum, but as they are no longer a sponsor I lost my thread that I had there on making these fit....
The wheels are 17x8 Streeters. These are the BBP wheels, the 5x4.5 pattern, but motech performance does have them in the 5x4 bolt pattern. The backspace is 4.25 I believe and the tires are Fuzion 245/45 17s. There is a member on here running 255s all around, his name is DJVCUDA., but as my body is twisted on the frame, I do not have the clearance on one wheel well to do that.

Joy to my world the 65 Formula S is now sitting covered in my parking lot accross from my apartment! Soon I will be married to the love of my life and moving to her place and the cuda will find a new home in ther driveway (we are widening it and possibly building a cover for my baby!) Must get Mount Prospect, Il and waiting to get the permit to make the improvements to he driveway at her house. I am loving life here now as recovered from my battle with epilepsy, driving again, working again, singing Joy to the World as our theme song! Soon after getting married saving some money the next step on the cuda is a paint job and total electrical redo! She runs great and starts as I say often with three pumps on pedal, varoom, varoom! Loving life here and look forward to Spring and meeting other Mopar lovers at local hang outs! Mopar or No Car!!!!

Bob, what is your tire size combo on your car? I have a '65 w/same color scheme with factory wheels/hubcaps and need to "fatten" up under the fenders..do you have original rear end (offset) and are springs OEM height? Many awesome colorful toys here. Thanks to all who contribute!!

Here are some pictures of my '66 Formula S (4-speed). Obviously, this car is a work in progress. I am currently working on getting a new exhaust system and 8-3/4 installed (along with the commensurate items that need to be refurbished (like the leaf springs)).

Anyone know this car? Is that a custom grill, or did he just remove some slats...? Love it!
