Thank you for your video. In the future please have someone who was alive during this era proof your content. Several years from now kids will cite videos like yours as proof that such vehicle as a 1969 Barracuda was readily available with a factory installed 426 Hemi. Sorry to say, it was not. Perhaps you're thinking of the famous exhibition drag car "Hemi under Glass" as seen most recently on one of Jay Lenos excellent videos when the vehicle rolled over with him and the driver aboard. So much for the vehicles light weight and excellent handling you stated. The 69 Barracuda formula "S" was available at any Plymouth dealer with an excellent 383 which made it a fun car for doing burnouts but not a well balanced performer like the GTO or the SS 396. Back then getting a 426 Hemi in any Mopar was a very expensive option. Much like the "Hellcats" of today. The engine was indeed very powerful but it was also very heavy as was it's very stout supporting running gear. Fuel mileage was always single digit and around town drivability wasn't great. A single carb 440 was a much cheaper way to go fast in a Mopar. Again please do you research and have an "old timer" like your grandfather verify your work. Please do this for the sake of the children!!
