Sorry guys, I was assuming a Manual trans car.

Mine is a Hurst shifter with 3/8 - 24 thread that the shifter knob threads on. I believe this is the factory shifter that came with the car, 65 Barracuda.

Thanks Mike, yup I have a working horn and a shift knob. Mostly I use the cup holders but the storage is a nice touch.

It has Velcro that sticks to the carpet. But it does fit real tight in between the seats so it doesn't move around at all.

Yup, and it's fits perfectly. I had to loosen the set bolts off a bit then Jam the console in but it fits. And they have a few different build options. Mine came from classic consolers but it is the same.

I've owned 3 early Barracudas and have never seen a plastic cover over the rear vents. It's always been body color. I've had a 64 and 2 65 cars in the past and none of them had that plastic cover. Don't know the production date of the 64 so I can't help in that way.

When I did mine I had fitment problem as the car had to thick of motor mounts. The previous owner had installed the wrong motor mounts when he swapped the 340 in the car. He ended up putting the old 273 exhaust manifolds back on. Once I had purchased the car I tried to put the Doug's in (D450)...

That’s what I’m running behind a 360 magnum crate motor with 3:23’s. I believe the 273 4barrel motors received 8 3/4 diffs under warranty if they blew up the 7 1/4.

Wow what a fantastic find, and that interior looks awesome. Keep us posted on how it goes.

Brewer's performance has the torque shaft that will work, that is what I am running with the 10.5 bell. For the 10.5 bell in an early A you need to flatten the firewall to floor pan seam. After that no clearance issues. The linkage is real tight fit if you run headers. I'm running TTI and it's...

Mr. Beans ride, team Starfish.

Wow I love it. I'd drag that home in a moment, especially for $1500. Not sure how long a 7 1/4 will last with a big tired 360 though!

Yes those are the emblems. I bought that fender and was told it was from a Commando car as the guy did have those emblems. But now I'm thinking the fender only had a V8 emblem on it.

While I was marking up my pics DC 340 also posted. Looks like the distance from the head light bucket is different.

This should help you with the Commando V8 emblem I didn't take any measurements for the Barracuda emblem but if no one else comes up with any I'll get some for you.

Not sure if you are using your old sail panel backing or not, But that has to go in first and must be trimmed so the metal trim can fit over it. I have a bunch of pictures that I had taken when I did my interior. Sail panel glued in. Now you have to put the metal trim against it to trim away...

View this thread. Collaborative early a experiment @Treblig put a lot of work into exhaust manifolds for early A cars. Not sure if there is any updates on this.

Looking real good, just enough to break up the white.

I had the same problem. I used the vise and a socket to make the switch the same length as the original. I was worried it would leave a small dent in the car.

That is an old tire size originally used for Bias ply tires. 775 x 14 or F78 14

Can you measure the width of the stock rear wheel well. I wondering if it is the same wheel well as a early A Barracuda. I have the full relocation kit. I did try the offset hangers but found I needed another 3/4 so my tires would not hit the spring but are able to take full advantage of the...

When removing your old weather strip take lots of pictures. Here is a couple of pictures. The first thing I did was to install the door seal rubber. It was longer than needed and had to be trimmed t down by about 4". Fit tight to the door opening and make sure you tap it fully into the corners...

The early A cars weather stripping is different than the later A body. I'm not sure you can use that article for reference in an early A car. I do have some pictures of my 65 Barracuda if you need any reference pictures from it.

Great looking ride. That will be a blast driving around with the top down! The Rallye wheels look good on it.

My old 66 /6 Valiant had a drop down centre link already in it. That is how it came as I doubt anyone would change out that part. I also had another guy with a 66 /6 car that came with a drop centre link so I would check what you have before trying to obtaining one. And professer Fate nailed...

Yes I have the same 60" belts front and rear, My car did not come with any mounting holes in the back so I tried to copy the stock location from a 66 friends barracuda and I also purchased the installation hardware kit for the rear. There is also a fair bit of room left for adjustment for size.

I have a 360 in my Barracuda and it seems to have lots of clearance for the pitman arm off the steering box. Does the steering seem to be centered ok?

Just a 360 car oil pan is all that is needed. Should have lots of steering clearance, Is it rubbing on your center link. Possibly someone used a slat 6 center link on it. Pictures?

I used a universal seatbelt kit Universal Lap Belt, 60" with Chrome Lift Latch - Color: (1) 3124278 Maroon You can get them from seatbelt plus in lots of colors if you don't like black. Lap Seat Belt - 60 Inch - Chrome Lift Latch I was able to fit the seat...

If you do want to stay 4 on 5, I like the SSBC kit A153 especially if you can't find used parts. The SSBC kit also has the option to go 5 on 4.5 if you change your mind later. It is a very complete kit and it lets you stay with 14" rallye wheels.
