1966 Plymouth Barracuda comes to life!

Start up after piecing together my father's 1966 Plymouth Barracuda Formula "S" Started like a champ, 80psi oil pressure cold idle, 900 rpm. It's a good day! First time it moves under it's own power since put into long term storage in April 1978.

A buddy of mine did a 1st gen Barracuda Formula S about 14 years ago- silver with the blue stripe. 273, 4-speed car- absolutely beautiful cars when done right. He did the car so corect that he spent over $2K on the correct 'blue line' tires (not red or white) that he got from 3 different sources. Congrats on such a good job!

@olikat8 Thanks, and yes that would be the Goodyear Bluestreak tires.

HI there, looking great!  I remember your car from the old MML days. Great to see you finally got it running.

Nice! My dad still has my 1966 Barracuda in his garage. It's nowhere near as nice as yours, but it still starts and runs. Thanks for making the video.

We had it in our garage since 1978. Started the resto in 2007 and finished it in 2009!
