Need 65 Barracuda info ** Updated **

Okay, I went to look at the car. First of all, I dont think it;s a Formula S. The owner is basing that information on a code on the title that says 2S, and he interpreted that to mean that it was a Formula S. It probably stands for 2-door, or something like that.

History of the car, is that it sat in a garage in Oregon since 1978. The owner passed away, and the current owner bought it from the original owners son. He has all of the paperwork that came with the car, including original paperwork from when it was bought.

The body seems to be very nice, with no noticeable body work, although it looks like it was originally blue, then repainted red. Some of the brightwork is ok, some of it is pitted. The floors and trunk had rust holes, so the current owner fiberglassed everything without replacing any metal. Did a very good job, but still bandaided instead of being fixed. Gas tank was replaced with a fuel cell in the trunk.

Everything works, (Including the heater!), and the car runs and drives well. Auto transmission works fine, and the car has a line-lock in it. As I mentioned previously, the entire break system was redone, and a whole new dual exhaust setup was installed. Sounds really good. Doesnt smoke. Interior is fair. The front seats are from another car, but the back seat and door panels are original. He has the original bucket seats but they are in pretty rough shape. He also has the original wheels and hubcaps. No carpet or headliner. I dont think the steering wheel is original, but dont know that for sure.

Here's what makes me feel it is not a Formula S. No C2 code on the fender tag. No tach. 2 barrel instead of 4 barrel. The passenger valve cover looks like it is a 66 or 67. Cant tell because there is something covering it and I didnt want to take it off. However, it does have a Commando V8 emblem on the front fender, AB codes are 31, so it did come with a 4 barrel, a front sway bar, and 5 leaf springs on the passenger side.

Here are some pictures. Once again, comments and opinions are encouraged.
