Valiant barracuda hood interchange?

They may look the same but think they are different as far as the hood latching goes. I think on the 64 the latching mechanism is under the hood. I do know on a 65 the latch is behind the nameplate on the hood. There is a cutout on the nameplate to access the latch lever. The 64 nameplate doesn’t have this. If I’m wrong, someone will provide the correct info.



The 65 Valiant hood will definitely fit a 65 Barracuda. The 64 not for the reasons I mentioned

Looks like a 64’. Maybe I shouldn’t be hung up with that? Guy wants 200 and is solid with no dents. Hoods are hard to come buy here in Holland MI.
