My '65 Formula S

I answered a Facebook trivia contest the local NAPA had that asked "What was the first pony car?". I answered "'64 Barracuda" and I was the first and only one to answer. The owner of the store asked me about a week later "Are you sure?" and I said "Yep"... and gave the details and dates. I think he figured it was the Mustang.

A guy down the road from me has a Formula S clone. Come to find out the cars came from the same general area in Northern California. A local car mag was going to do a story on us and the cars, but they went out of business before it happened. There's a ton of similarities, including we both were Tool & Diemakers... and I've met this guy before either one of us owned these cars.

We did a local show together.

His friends always wave to me... LOL. I tell him that I just give them the finger. LOL.

I don't have a pic, but last year, another white '65 Barracuda popped up in town... So in my little town of 6000, there's 3 white '65 Barracudas. No stripe on his though.
