Photos of first generation barracudas

Can you post some pics of your car and the dash I would love to see it.

Just because I had it readily available on my phone here are the dash pieces I have off to refinish. I have quite a few extra dash pieces if you ever need anything. Ill post pics of the dash in the car in a bit.

here's my 65... I've owned it for almost a year. Just painted it. It's pretty much a stock 273, w/ exception of a 4 barrel carb... I'm about to swap the wheels for some Cragar SS

nice ride

Here's my '65. My dad bought it new in October '64 - and I drove it as a teenager. It' been in the family ever since. It's certainly not a show car, but I really like it for the (obvious) sentimental reasons. I put spitfire headers and heavy duty leaf springs on it since these photos were taken....

sweet ride... what size are your wheels?

14" Cragars. Got 'em new from Jegs about ten years ago. They have the 4" diameter bolt pattern just like the original 13" steel wheels had. Not cheap - but they really give the "period" look I wanted.

It's the same dash as my 65 dart which makes sense since it is Canadian.

Yes, '65 Canadian Valiants and Barracuda's used the '65 US Dart dash as standard, and CDN had the "Valiant" hood call-out as US had the "Plymouth" emblem.

Here's a link to an interesting page regarding US and Canadian A-body differences....

Some very interesting cars in this thread!! Are both of your cars right hand drive Winston?? How unique is that to have not one, but two!! COOL!!!! Geof

No...Geof...if you look at his pics, they are posted "mirror-image"...one has a reversed Wisconsin license plate, and another has the writing on a trailer reversed.
