BARRACUDA - Everything You Need To Know | Up To Speed

Back in the day everyone wanted a muscle car, we’re talking about the Ford Mustang, Dodge Charger, Chevy Nova, and Pontiac GTO. But what about Plymouth? Plymouth gave us the Barracuda! A car so cool that the rock band Heart wrote a song about it!

Host James Pumphrey covers everything from the Toyota Supra to the Chevy El Camino, The VW GTI to the Subaru WRX. The origins of every car will be uncovered to get you Up to Speed..

So this ain't the end, I saw you again, today
I had to turn my heart away
Smiled like the sun, kisses for everyone
And tales, it never fails

You lying so low in the weeds
I bet you gonna ambush me
You'd have me down, down, down on my knees
Now wouldn't you, BARRACUDA? Oh

Back over time we were all trying for free
You met the porpoise and me
No right, no wrong you're selling a song, a name
Whisper game

If the real thing don't do the trick
You better make up something quick
You gonna burn, burn, burn, burn, burn to the wick
BARRACUDA, oh yeah

"Sell me, sell you" the porpoise said
Dive down deep to save my head
You, I think you got the blues too

All that night and all the next
Swam without looking back
Made for the western pools, silly, silly fools

If the real thing don't do the trick, no
You better make up something quick
You gonna burn, burn, burn, burn, burn it to the wick
OOOO, BARRA-BARRACUDA!

My brother, father, and grandfather, and myself are restoring a ‘67 barracuda. I’m in love with these cars and can’t wait to paint elevens out of stop lights!

[drewcase]

You guys really need to do a video on the Pontiac Firebird

[mopower]

That’s my 1969 340 Barracuda at 10sec doing the burnout!
That car is all original and even still has points and will flat out embarrass a lot of big block cars!!!
Great

The Barracuda was made in a time when packages actually changed engines and engine parts

[rickintexas]

I never really cared for the first 2 generations of the Barracudas. But that 3rd generation Cuda and Barracuda are stunning cars. Some of the best to come out of Detroit ever.

"Pop up up and down headlights" is still the hottest track of 2019 🔥🔥🔥

I miss when the automatic transmission was an option and the manual transmission was the standard.

[fatbrother]

i would die for a up to speed video on the Ford Mondeo

[calveithtv]

the early Cudas might have been pony cars but in my oppinion the `71 version is basically the definition of a Muscle car

[codyhful]

"what ever it will be, im sure die hard fans will complain" lmfao


"tween horse boys" lmfao

[AlexPerkins]

“I’m sure that diehard fans will complain” 😂😂😂

[thepylonperspective]

Mustang: “Yeah, I got a 302 in my Boss.”

Charger: “Oh yeah? I’ve got a 426 HEMI!”

Barracuda: “M O T O R C H O N K…”

James, each and every week you pour your theatrical energy into this show (along with all the other content you're responsible for). Just want to take a moment to tell you I appreciate the energy and the value you create with each video. You are literally a vanguard of car culture for what you do. I know this was many years in the making and I can see in your eyes the drive and passion you have for what you do. All I gotta say is, keep going.

[okistash]

"whatever it is die hard fans will complain" such a beautiful statement XD
