This has more to do with your personal preferences - the key question is; do you want a convertible? The Barracuda does sound like a good deal that after paint you'd start enjoying right away. If you want a convertible the Dart sounds good. Any 64 thru 66 Dart, Valiant or Barracuda windshield will work but the rubber seal for convert is different and NOT reproduced. Neither choice is bad so you can't go wrong.
