Possibly a Canadian Cuda ?

I have to agree, the center grill seems like it is missing and replaced with a valiant 100 grill, I don't like what I am seeing under this cool car, The emergency brake is zip tide to the fuel line , but hay, I am just looking and I don't ever remember seeing a barracuda with out a center grill emblem.. It should possibly have one.... no telling what ells

The grille is correct for a 65 Cuda. Tha brake cable you mention looks like they wrapped the cable around the fuel line when they put the 8 3/4 axle under it. A close look the bumpers need a re-chrome and for some reason it is missing the left rear wheel well chrome trim.
