65 Barrracuda Custom Spinner Wheel Covers?

[MonkeyTrev]

i was reading a webpage today that broke down some of the details and option for the 65 barracuda. One option was for a set of custom spinner wheel covers. I’ve never seen a barracuda with a set of these installed on them so I gotta ask.

Is anyone running a set of the custom spinners on their barracuda?

Look at a brochure for the 65 cuda's I believe there are pictures of them.

It’s definitely not my style but cool that they offered it.

I’ve never actually seen a ‘65 Barracuda with the custom spinner wheel covers either they were a pretty rare factory option. Most people just go with standard hubcaps or aftermarket wheels. I’m sure someone out there has run them at some point, but if they exist, they’re definitely uncommon.
If you’re thinking about adding a set, they’d definitely stand out probably more of a show car look than something you’d see on the street every day.

There are actually a couple of different kinds. I have a set a little different in 14. They are super cool.

Not uncommon when new. They were available on Valiants as well. When I was a kid, back when these cars were new, there was a yellow 65 Barracuda that I would walk past daily on my way to school. It had the spinner wheel covers.

And they are really not the ones I want. What I want are like unobtanium hen's teeth. lol

Back in the 60's spinners were really cool. I still like them.

Now does anyone have a set of skirts for a 65 Cuda?

 

[FISHYPETE]

They did make them and boy oh boy I think they are ugly

But the real question is... will they slash a tire on a car next to you?

These 14" spinner wheel covers were specifically used on the 65 Satellite convertible and hardtop. Never seen them factory installed on a Belvedere, Fury or any A body. of course if you have 14" wheels, there's no reason you can't use them.

Thanks. I wasn't sure what the came on, I just liked them and the others I really want are ridiculously priced when you find them, if you find them. lol

Yeah there's always some on eBay.

This is what I have on Vixen now. They are 13s. They were also available in 14 which are very difficult to find. That's what I really want, but I'm settling for the spinners.
