I saw this movie late, late, late on TV one night ages ago and I still believe it is underrated. I would love to know more about the Cadillac in the movie, too!
Definitely one of my favorite hero/anti-hero cars. I remember watching this movie on DVD nearly every day after getting home in my highschool days. It made me admire this generation of the Barracuda so much. Thanks for the vid! 😎👍🏻
Being a Mopar guy what cracked me up was when they revealed it was a superstock Cuda, those things with that hemi handled like a dump truck with flat front tires and a rocket strapped to the back, those caddys the bad guy had would literally be able to drive circles around it. A little bit of useless trivia, Chrysler was so serious about winning races in order to save weight they did away with the window mechanism and used a seat belt to hold it up and the glass was way thinner than stock which meant that when racing the torque from the hemi would twist the body and the side windows would bind in the frame and shatter. None of the original ss cudas or darts if it was raced have the original side windows.
Thank you! You probably found the tread on A-Body mopars only forum I wrote couple years ago. All your infos are correct. Apparently the Barracuda was sold by the owner in Ohio but don’t have any details on it. Fun fact: Robert Racki was the main stunt driver for this car and broke is arm in one scene when he was laying on the hood of the caddy at the junkyard scene.
Coincidentally i was watching the final chase from car chase wonderland a few days back about this movie. Both the 68 cuda and 72 el dorado were good cars in the movie
Highwaymen is an awesome movie and has been one of my favorites for a long time now. It really deserves much more attention. This movie should be as iconic as Christine.
I stumbled across this movie late one night by accident and really enjoyed it. I would definitely recommend checking it out. Another great video, my friend. 💪👍
that's some next level suckage finding out we lost a musclecar for a damn Herbie movie. especially when you gotta figure the danged ol' VW bug made it thru the movie just fine. that is beyond not right. thank you sir for another excellent bit of knowledge.
My dad has had one of these (not from the movie but the same year) and its been around since my sister was born he's giving it to her for her wedding this year
Oh Yes great choice. Didn’t even come to theatres near me when it came out I had to order it to watch it. They made great choices for the look and I sound of the Cuda were perfect. Liked the villains Caddy as well. Thanks for making these videos!
I LOVE THIS CHANNEL!! You know why? Not only does it cover awesome cars from some of the best movies to come out of Hollywood, but also open my eyes to hidden gems such as this one! Had never heard of this movie before watching this video earlier today. Paused it part way through to watch the movie and WOW did I enjoy it!! Can’t go wrong with an old school Mopar and Jim Caviezel is a phenomenal actor to boot! Thank you!!!
Another movie you could do is "Destiny Turns on the Radio". It's an old Tarantino movie where the devil drives a B5 blue Roadrunner with the dealer spinner hub diplays on the front wheels.
Very good subject choice here! Yes, an underrated movie, not just for the story or cars either, Caveizel was excellent in this role. As well as a lovely Rhona Mitra!
Great video👌 Like the movie and of course the Barra. BO29 Barracuda Super Stock definitely changed drag racing and it's still among the best factory dragsters💪🏁
I had 2 68 barracudas at same time...an awesome formula S 340 4 speed convertible and my daily fastback 225 auto. They are super good looking cars. Lots of parts support
My neighbor had a real 68 Barracuda (not the super stock in the video) just the barracuda was one of the sweetest cars l have ever seen and had had a ride in . The only thing he did to it was bored out the engine and for that he had to ramp up the motor mounts.
Yeah, I'll eventually make second rounds through my massive list for secondary cars in films I've already touched on, but it'll be awhile down the road 😉
My favorite movie car. Highway 61 also made a 1:18 scale diecast super stock barracuda. A couple different paint colors but i got one of 600 made in red with a black hood.
As a Mopar guy I had a good day today. At work I did an Earl change on a Ram T Rex. And then tonight I got to see this waycool videos on the Super Stock Barracuda. Thanks my brother! You always bring the Good Stuff! 😎
The car selection for this movie was awesome. Not what filmmakers typically go in for. Just wish it was longer. It doesn’t even come in at an hour and a half. So much story potential left untapped.
Cool, I didn't bother looking into that since it was already gutted for the movie and I don't think livestreams are for me, lol. Thanks anyways though 😉👍
As a Cadillac enthusiast, I watched the movie only because the bad guy drove a Cadillac. I love this movie and I think it's very underrated. Excellent job on the research as always. See you next time
That was cool. Never seen the movie but looks like fun. Plymouth had a lot of nerve cramming the 426 Hemi into those cars. Off topic now... in the remake of Dawn of The Dead there is a scene in a parking garage that highlights a 1969 Lemans blue Z/28 Camaro. It was bizarre and totally out of context with the movie. What's with that!?
I'm not a Mopar guy, but didn't '68s have side marker lights? someone mentioned this in a comment, and I don't see them in the white one at 1:41. I'd look more now but am watching the movie. Is a classic flick, lesser known and has a horror element, but is right up there with "Two-Lane Blacktop".
Great to know and it motivated me to research and learn a fact I was unaware of-Frankie Muniz of Malcom in the Middle is a race car driver and has been for years.
Yeah, I'll eventually make second rounds through my massive list for secondary cars in films I've already touched on, but it'll be awhile down the road 😉
This movie made me really fall for the 67-69 barracuda's. I actually got my hands on a 67 factory manual car a few years ago. The plan is to give it a similar statement to the highway men car.
'Where are you cray this little game of our is going to end soon enough if you can stop me hahaha' as cray hears his bad guy talk over cb radio while park in the cuda readying his next move for our hero to finally get evil man who run down cray's wife years ago as today's video is a fortunate pick my buddy in making it because this movie was solid and intriguing with few twist included as for cuda it really deserves more love being a(not actually real hemi car) super stocker wouldn't work for chasing as they are bulit to drag race so maybe cray found frankenstein cuda somewhere in small town southwest region and made it suitable for him but anyway thanks carstarz on this video and one more thing to add at 7:05 mark i do have die-cast of both 68 cudas one shown in the video and formula s form M2 all right then got to go see you next time bye now.
How about featuring the Mustang in the early eighties tv series Mike Hammer ,starring Stacy Keach , it seems it was a '65 coupe, I thought I remembered him having a fastback ??
Yeah, I'll eventually make second rounds through my massive list for secondary cars in films I've already touched on, but it'll be awhile down the road 😉

Yo! The "What About Bob's" Dr. Leo Marvin's Wagoneer!! You told me to leave it by the marina. Getouttathegahhhh!!!! There should be a "smash that" Button that's 'Subscribed AF.'
maybe not used as much but in memorable set piece action scenes, black Porsche 964 Turbo , from BAD BOYS with Will Smith and Martin Lawarace, appereantly was personal car of director Michael Bay at time , he used as movie budget was low
Yeah, that one is on my to do list once making second rounds through the list eventually happens as I already covered the Cobra in that movie... th-cam.com/video/Ve29pUa6Ep8/w-d-xo.html
Its "factory Super stock class" If any of you wanna look it up. N.H.R.A is the sanctioned league of automotive racing of drag racing that has caused all of this.
I almost bought one back in 81 for $1000, but my fiancée decided that we needed a 4 door, as she was hoping for a baby... we broke up 2 months later, by then, the car had sold for $800...

Cool and glad you enjoyed the video 😉👍
I had ( 7 ) '67 - '69 Barracudas , 2 were O E. Formula S , 383 , 4 speeds . My last one ( a relative sold 😢😢 ) looked just like the one in the movie .
@@keithpearson7059 Nice, friend!
Hope you can get another one someday! 😁👍🏻
They're great cars and not as valued as the E-body generation, sadly.

Awesome video. Love the Cuda Super Stock. Thanks for providing info on how to do a die cast model. Very helpful.
Thanks and glad you enjoyed it 😉👍
Great video👌 Like the movie and of course the Barra. BO29 Barracuda Super Stock definitely changed drag racing and it's still among the best factory dragsters💪🏁

Thank u for reviewing the highway men 68 barracuda that’s such a awesome muscle car
You're welcome and indeed it is 😉👍
M2 Machines also made that 1/64th in the original grey primer with the front done in black gel coat... Looks awesome!
Yeah, I saw that variant too; a cool brand with cool stuff 😉👍
I had 2 68 barracudas at same time...an awesome formula S 340 4 speed convertible and my daily fastback 225 auto. They are super good looking cars. Lots of parts support
Nice 😉👍
I'm jealous.
Good for you man!

Nice 😉👍
@@CarStarz42 he had the hemi engine in his . The doors and Hood were steel the rest was Fiberglass .
@@ericgaudet5488 Ah, cool 👍
@@CarStarz42 Yes it was very cool l remember it was marron with a black interior.
Now you need to do a video on the villain's Cadillac.
Yeah, I'll eventually make second rounds through my massive list for secondary cars in films I've already touched on, but it'll be awhile down the road 😉
Love Highwaymen , still watch the DVD quite a bit , Nice work CarStarz ,Cheers
Thanks and indeed a worthy film 😉👍
My Wife amd Kids LOVE this movie!
😉👍
My favorite movie car. Highway 61 also made a 1:18 scale diecast super stock barracuda. A couple different paint colors but i got one of 600 made in red with a black hood.
Awesome, yeah that's a great brand, they make some really detailed stuff for sure 😉👍
awesome channel and i appreciate all the work that must go into the videos!
Thanks and glad you enjoy it 😉👍
Well done, I enjoyed watching that.
Thanks and glad to hear that 😉👍
Love this movie! , my favorite muscle car I want one so bad. Ive built several scale models of it
Nice, yeah a Barracuda is certainly on my want list as well; hopefully some day 😉👍
I really enjoy the channel. Can you do a story on the 1966 Ford Thunderbird convertible that was used in Thelma and Louise?
Glad to hear that! I do indeed already have that one on my list to look into. Thanks 😉👍
🏆Very cool🏆another great video 🍀thank you 😎✌️
Thanks and glad you are still enjoying the channel 😉👍
@@CarStarz42 🎉who wouldn't👀I might be dum but I'm not stupid 🍀Get R Done 😎✌️
Been waiting on this one.
Glad you enjoyed it 😉👍
I watched that movie several times just because of the Cuda. 😁
😉👍
As a Mopar guy I had a good day today. At work I did an Earl change on a Ram T Rex. And then tonight I got to see this waycool videos on the Super Stock Barracuda. Thanks my brother! You always bring the Good Stuff! 😎
Sounds like a good day indeed and glad to hear you are still enjoying the channel 😉👍
I love this channel! May I suggest doing videos on the Nash Bridges 'Cuda and the Spenser for Hire fastback Mustang?
Glad to hear that and yep, the cars in Nash Bridges are already on my list and I may be looking into them soon 😉👍
The car selection for this movie was awesome. Not what filmmakers typically go in for. Just wish it was longer. It doesn’t even come in at an hour and a half. So much story potential left untapped.
True and true 😉👍
Love the story of the '68 Plymouth barracuda super sport, can't wait to see the next video.
That's "super stock", but glad you enjoyed the video; and yes, much more to come here in 2024 😉👍
@@CarStarz42 oh, my mistake, thanks for correcting me on that one and appreciate it plus you're welcome.
The car they flipped was a Slant Six car. Glad the hero car survived. P.S., I'm still interested in having you on a livestream. It'd be a great time.
I'll bet the Slant Six engine from it is out there somewhere and still running.
tick tick tick tick tick tick tick...
Cool, I didn't bother looking into that since it was already gutted for the movie and I don't think livestreams are for me, lol. Thanks anyways though 😉👍
@@CarStarz42 Thanks kindly for the reply and the offer stands :)
Fords 1964 Thunderbolts with the 427 high rise was as fast all day long
That would be a cool face off for sure 😉👍
As a Cadillac enthusiast, I watched the movie only because the bad guy drove a Cadillac. I love this movie and I think it's very underrated. Excellent job on the research as always. See you next time
Indeed and thanks 😉👍
The next 10 Wild Facts film car you should do is Ricky's 1975 Chrysler New Yorker aka "The Sh*tmobile" from "Trailer Park Boys"
Not next, but that one is indeed already on my list 😉👍
Have you ever done videos for the 65 Corvette from the 80s show "Stingray" or the Volvo P1800 from "The Saint"?
Not yet, but they are indeed already on my monster to do list. Thanks 😉👍
@@CarStarz42 Awesome!

Good contenders for sure 😉👍
I'm not a Mopar guy, but didn't '68s have side marker lights? someone mentioned this in a comment, and I don't see them in the white one at 1:41. I'd look more now but am watching the movie. Is a classic flick, lesser known and has a horror element, but is right up there with "Two-Lane Blacktop".
Yeah, regular '68 Barracudas did have tiny circular side markers, but it was absent on the Super Stock models. 😉
Great to know and it motivated me to research and learn a fact I was unaware of-Frankie Muniz of Malcom in the Middle is a race car driver and has been for years.
Cool, I didn't know that. Thanks 😉👍
I see my Sox and Martin Barracuda video was included lol
Great Mecum clip 😉👍
Awesome movie .
😉👍
Very cool thanks 👍👍😊
Glad to hear you enjoyed it 😉👍
Thanks 👍 I always appreciate the channel always thanks 👍 for the fun and time you take to show us these things 😊
Is the Cadillac from Highwaymen gonna be getting a 10 facts video too?
Yeah, I'll eventually make second rounds through my massive list for secondary cars in films I've already touched on, but it'll be awhile down the road 😉
I would like to see you do vanishing point 1996 both the challenger and charger

The 68 barracuda 426 hemi super stock package, badass fuckin car if u ask me lol
Oh yeah! 😉👍
I think highway 61 also did the superstock Barracuda, in black and in primer colors, as 1:18 scale...
They did, those just aren't easy to find now.
do you know the movie "Lone Wolf MacQuade" with Chuck Norris, he had some supercharged Dodge Ramcharger , probably his best film
Indeed and it's already on the list to do once I find enough info on it 😉👍
How about featuring the Mustang in the early eighties tv series Mike Hammer ,starring Stacy Keach , it seems it was a '65 coupe, I thought I remembered him having a fastback ??
Hmm, never saw that one, but I'll add it to my list to look into. Thanks 😉👍
I don’t know about anyone else but I wouldn’t mind seeing a video on the bad guys Cadillac.
If it’s even possible to find any information on it.

This came out around The Passion of the Christ. "Jesus takes the wheel" took a different meaning then...

Those fastbacks could not have been any uglier. Better to get the other version no matter what the consequences.
Opinions vary I suppose...
