Going back to look at a 69 Barracuda 383 car. Saw something I need to look closer at, has a Valiant gauge cluster in it. Anyone ever see one like that? Like I said, going back to get a better look.

A Valiant is very different from a Barracuda. Show us a picture.

67 to 69 Barracudas all models; never saw anything but the Rallye Cluster.
That doesn't mean somebody didn't put one in there; I mean we usually do it the other way but sometimes a guy just uses what he has.....

Agree. I have also never seen anything else. Had to be some type of substitution by an owner, but why??
Well, the occasional rallye cluster made it into Valiants as we all know. But this is bassackwards. Having said that, to install a rallye into a standard dash takes some fabrication. Now going the other way........is it a bolt in or is the whole dash frame going to be different again? Hmmmm. Things to look at. Body stampings would be right up there on my list.

Originally I didn't look it over that hard because car wasn't for sale. Got a call yesterday where he said he would sell. Going to take a better look at everything.
