You didn't grow up in Detroit then become an "automotive engineer". People went to school all across the country then came to Detroit in hopes to become an "automotive engineer". Several people like that were women who didn't even know what a shock absorber was and did, yet become head "engineer" of the mark 8 Lincoln with air bags. That didn't work out so well.

@@williamstamper442 What kind of fool are you? I am not going to expose my name or names of my friends on line or where each of us went to engineering school or even all the cars we built. We didn't live in Detroit proper but in the suburbs and my father for example was an automotive engineer as well who worked for Chevy Engineering in Warren, MI at the tech center who brought home all the fastest cars of the late 60's throughout the 70's...from big and small block Camaros and Corvettes including a LS-6 Chevelle I street raced on Woodward. My friends and I also built the fastest car at our high school. I ended up following in my father's footsteps later in life also working at the Tech center in Warren for Chevy Engineering. Detroit is a local reference. Mo Town. The motor city. The home of the American auto industry. Growing up in the Detroit 'area'. Get a clue. I have forgotten more about cars and likely motorcycles as well than you ever even thought about. I built my first motorized vehicle which was a minibike built from a bicycle and lawnmower engine when I was 12 years old from scratch. I was also given a timing light and dwell/tach meter around the same time period for Christmas and began tuning my parents cars including neighbors cars which had conventional points and distributor. I got my first real job as a machinist working through college because I fixed the president's son's go kart and he was impressed with my mechanical capability when I first started college. No internet. I am 70 years old. PS. I also got my first engineering job fresh out of college working in the city of Detroit proper, the Budd Company. Throughout my career, I rarely met a woman who knew much about cars or their design or certainly hotrodding and this sounds like you.

Love those engines. I once bought a Dart wagon with a bone stock 273 4 barrel 4 speed. Guys have since told me that wasn't possible, but mine was OEM and that's what it had. Yup, 10.25 compression, solid lifter cam, and Carter 4 barrel. You forgot to mention, and I always thought this was so cool, the factory intake manifold was a single plane. These little engines would run to 7,000 rpm and not float a valve. Oh, and because they were solid cam, they had adjustable rockers. I put 273 rockers on the 340 in my 70 Dart later, bolted right up with the right length push rods.

Here's a curious bit of trivia. The first OHV V8 Chrysler made was the 1951 Hemi, 331cu in and 180HP with a 2 barrel. A few years later it was upgraded to a 4 barrel and 235HP. 13 years later they brought out the 273 with the same 180HP 2 barrel and 235HP 4 barrel. The 273 was a 318 block with a small bore and the same crankshaft and rods as the 318. They put thicker wrist pins in the pistons to bring the weight up so they did not need to rebalance the crank. Those cool valve covers with the black wrinkle paint and aluminum trim rivetted on had a purpose. To dampen any valve noise from the solid lifter cam.

I've never been a Mopar fan, but I loved the early Barracuda and Chargers.

This was good. While 17 years old talked Dad down to a used car lot to buy an Austin Healey, my dad spotted this 1965 Barracuda Formula S and he talked me into buying it. It was Fast, never shifted into 4th before 100 mph. It always broke everything from the tranny back, broken axles and such. It was more fun than my 69 SS 396. This explained why I had drive train problems back then. Thanks for that. That being said I wouldn't mind trying it again at my elder age. cheers,

The Inland shifters look soooo cool! and the single exhaust and sound is EPIC! UT, that looks like the proper repop rear resonator-tip combo.

My friend's dad had a 66 with a 273, but not the Formula S. We (friend and I, not his dad) found that you can put a racing go-kart in the back seat area by folding down the seat, and wriggling the kart in thru the passenger door. I don't think his dad ever knew about that, and that was a good thing. (We did put blankets down to protect the upholstery).

I must contradict: I am a GM guy, but I always liked those early Barracudas. A friend of mine had one for several years. He is actually a Buick and Chevy guy. I think his wife loved it, so he bought it. I like the huge rear window. But you are right: It is terribly cramped in the engine bay. What I liked even more were the Marlins. I never found out why people do not love those. American motors (before Gremlins and Javelins) are quite underrated to this day.

It took me a little time to come round to the 1st gen but I absolutely love them now quirky is the word as you say Tony maybe a car only mopar guys could love but I do remember a red one with fat and skinny cragars and a beautiful stance .....it was pure magic ❤

My first wife's dad HATED American cars, only drove European stuff whole time I knew him. The only American car he talked fondly about was a Barracuda 273 4sp he bought new. Dont know the year. Of course it was long by then he was driving Audis, SAABs, Volvos, Renaults, Jags, Peugeots, even had a Citroen. But he talked about that Barracuda a lot. Lol

A fountain of knowledge. Thanks Unko!

Uncle Tony´`s Mopar trivia knowledge is damn impressive.

I like the styling of the first gen Barracuda a lot. It's a little awkward, but it's unusual and distinctive kind of like a Rambler Marlin.

That's a nice survivor car. I bet once that steer issue is fixed, that's a fantastic driver car.

YESSSSSSS!!! Finally! Someone who knows just how GLORIOUS the 273 cars with the single exhaust resonator system sounds! But of course Tony would know. 😏 For anyone reading, watch the KZread link below to see just how incredible this exhaust system sounds. Just go to the 22:08 mark for the idling sound, and then watch from 25:45 to 30:35 for a series of acceleration clips. Yes, the car in the video is a 340 car, but it gives you a taste of just how amazing these cars sound. However, as good as the car sounds in this video, a 273 actually sounds even better. Between the 273's solid lifters, its smaller bores, smaller valves, smaller combustion chamber, etc., it has its own sound and is its own animal amongst Mopar small block engines. So, as good as this 340 with the resonator sounds, the 273 sounds even meaner and more vicious. It's something you have to hear in person to truly appreciate for yourself. Tony is right in saying 273 single exhaust resonator cars were the best sounding cars of the muscle car era. Nothing even comes close IMO. The 340 in this video is awesome, but I assure you a 273 is even better: kzread.info/dash/bejne/e2uV0aqydKipaNY.html

Early Barracudas and AMC Marlins had very cool back glass. They were sometimes mistaken for each other by non car people. I personally loved the 66-67 Charger roofline but couldn't find one. Had a 66 Coronet 440 four door sedan instead, with a built 318 poly.

YEP ! Love 1 gen Barracudas!

I agree with Uncle Tony the early A-bodies had quirky weird styling. A 1968 Barracuda "Notchback is night and day next to this 1966 model. The Symmetry of the later Notchback just looks right.

Tony, the race car 273 you talked about, those were rated 275 HP and had a very high lift Racer Brown cam. Sorry, don't remember the lift on those. Back to the Charger/Commando 273, those have a single plane manifold. The cam was .425" lift. And you are right, the A bodies, Dart or Barracuda with the 273 was a well balanced fun to drive car. It just handled well. They came with 13" rims, but the rims had no vents around the center section. Just one bead around the center. You could not put another 13" Dart wheel on them. The reason for the oddball wheel, they used a larger drum than other A Bodies. Brake shoes were the ones for the larger Polara, which is why the oddball wheels. You could, and I did, put 14" rims on them.

i had a 65 dart gt with the same manual trans and same engine...absolutely loved that car...

Love those first generation Barracuda's. First car I ever had sold from underneath me.

Every time i see one of those cars I think of a movie from the 80's called The Wraith. Not a Mopar guy myself but Id like to have 1. Tight engine bay, or not, still beats the stuff built these days.

My 66 is the same color and configuration. The stock stance makes it look like a large water bug, so I lifted the rear slightly. That presents the rear glass in a more horizontal look, and with mags, the fish actually gets compliments. Or maybe people are just being nice!

Great history lesson UT. Thanks!! 👍

That's the first time I went 100.

Back in the mid eighties I had a friend Skip in Woonsocket Rhode Island. The guy loved his Mustangs and Ford products. He always said though the little 273 Barracudas would smoke the 289 Mustangs. Personally much later I had a 1067 Formula S roller I sold on. But I also worked on a 1964 Dart we converted to a small block. It had a poly bottom end bored 90 over with LA heads modified to work on it. That little Dart put a hurting on a lot of big and small block cars in drag races. While a pain to work on the little A body cars can be fierce little drag race cars. The 289 A bodies also did pretty good at Rally racing.

Such a beautiful car dear gosh I'm glad he got it there with that happening! and the D Dart is a TREAT white paint Red interior 275+hp 273 one of the rare +1hp 1Cid engines out there I absolutely love these cars and Gosh they are a bit tight everywhere I know if you take the K member out the heads will hold the engine in the engine bay I've seen it happen. my 65 the exhaust was HACKED badly to make it dual exhaust and it's been through so many 7 1/4 axles ours would snap the shaft in the differential housing and the last one ate a spider gear with the ring and pinion I can't wait to get mine back together it's scattered all across the garage since dad blew it up in 75 those valve covers and everything is just pretty. sorry for gushing I just love seeing people give these cars the love they deserve.

Great engines, my dad had one in his 64 valiant before we put a much hotter 360 in but my brother and I put it in his 67 barracuda 4 speed 4.30 gears man it makes it fun and runs mid 14s
