I have 3 1965 Valiants & yesterday we accquired a 1965 Dodge Polara. I'm pretty sure that year they were C-bodies. I have a couple of questions: 1) how do I find a fender tag decoder for the 65 Polara? Most of the places I've looked don't have much info on the 65 Dodges 2) The paint...

I haven't posted in a long time. Here's a photo of the Twin Fin Wine Valiant 'vert that I got from Dan last year. We are having TONS of fun with this little car! It's been to a whole lot of shows & cruises in the past year & has gotten in the newspaper once. In the next month or so I will...

I recently got a front bumper for my '65 Valiant but it does not quite fit. The bracket holes don't line up & the measurements aren't exactly the same as the bumpers on my '65. There is "7777" stamped on the inside of this bumper. Is this a 1963 ? I looked up photos of the '63 Valiants & it...

This might be a really dumb question but here goes --- can a power convertible top be manually operated if the convertible motor assembly is disconnected? The question came up when we were talking about what might happen if you were out someplace & the top motor quit working. Could you still...

We just spotted this last night. It was hard to see because it was on the underneath sides of 2 wires. Apparently, on the 1965 Barracuda 273 engine the heat sheilds at the manifold on the drivers side are so short that they don't do any good at all. The passenger side is OK but that drivers...

Well, we had a 4 day Automotive Film Festival in Oakhurst (Calif) this weekend. Lots of vintage & documentary car related films. They had a display of race cars & some vintage cars inside the tent where the reception & wine tasting was held. There were also racing celebrities present to...

I was just going thru ebay listing for Barracudas & found a 1965 45 RPM record called "The Barracuda" by Alvin Cash & the Crawlers. Does anyone remember this one? Is it about the car or the fish? I remember 1965 but I sure as heck don't recall the song. I googled it & according to the lyrics...

Saw this at the Madera Mopar show. Maybe I could do this to my red '65. Then I could get out of here on snowy days........

FYI, the Mopar show is this Sunday, Oct 8, in Madera Calif. The weather should be good & it's a nice show. I'm taking the Barracuda this time. Can't wait!

Here in the rodent infested Sierra's we're used to finding rodents nests & acorns in the filter. Well, this time I found a Tootsie Roll in the filter! That darn rat had to carry the thing about 200' from the van that had the bag of Tootsie Rolls in it. It wasn't one of those tiny bite size...

I've been looking online for a new gas cap for my '65 Barracuda. Most of the ones I've seen are $65 to $79. Is there a good place to get a good looking, correct gas cap? Are these prices out of line? Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thanks!

Well, it could have been worse - the bear could have slobbered on a Mopar. Anyway, I thought you guys would get a kick out of this article: Bear cub can't resist pizza left in convertible Jerry Patterson / Special to the Tahoe Daily Tribune / Lured by a pizza in the back seat, a bear cub...

These hubcaps were on the back seat of a '65 barracuda that I bought. They are 9" across. Do you guys know what these are off of?

I'm confused. I was looking at the Muscle Car Club definition of muscle cars page where it lists what cars are muscle & what cars are not. When I got down to the Barracuda section I got confused. Is there a difference between a Barracuda and a 'cuda? Then it says that Barracudas with a...

My new '65 'cuda made it's debut at a local car show yesterday. The show had 200 cars and there were 9 in the Mopar class. We got 3rd place with the cuda. I was surprised, and quite pleased , that an early A placed! I did not expect to place. With the exception of the Mopar shows, I hardly...

I just bought a 2nd '65 Barracuda. It's pretty rough so it will probably be a parts car but, who knows, maybe it can be fixed up. Anyway, when I was looking at the fender tag I noticed that is was made on the same day in the same plant as my other one. Is this unusual? I also found 5 bucks...

The chrome lockstrip around the front & rear windows on my '65 Barracuda has yellowed. I purchased new chrome lockstrip for it but it hasn't been installed yet. The car is black & the chrome around the windshield really stands out - maybe too much. Here's the problem: I just bought another...

I'm going to change the fuel filter on the '65 cuda this week. It has a white plastic one on it now. My Fury has a metal one. Which type do you guys reccommend? The 'cuda has a 273 with a 4bbl eddy.

The throttle cable on my '65 'cuda broke today. It snapped off at the end where it goes thru the hole in the bracket . My question is this: before I start looking for one on Monday, is there one type that is better than another? Is it going to be hard to find one for the '65? It has a 273...

Well, I got the chrome lockstrip for my '65 'cuda but I'm not sure how to install it. Is there a site that shows DIY installation? Do I need special tools? It looks like it pretty much snaps out & snaps back in. Any tips & hints would be greatly appreciated.

I'm a new member & I have some questions about getting misc items fixed on the '65 Barracuda. Being a newbie I don't know the official names for a lot of the parts yet but will try to describe them. First, where is the best place to get the plastic radio faceplate rechromed? Most of the...

Hi, this is a great site! I've been lurking for about 3 weeks - since I bought my "65 Barracuda. I am pretty new to the vintage car scene but the bug has bitten! A year ago I started showing my parents 1962 Fury. It's all original, right down to the paint, and it's the car I got my drivers...
