What body parts are similar to swap, ext. and int.? I came across a 65 project car and found a 64 parts car in another location. Don't have either in hand, just want to know what would work if I pull the trigger. THX

Taillights, front fenders and grille are different. You can put a 64 grille on a 65, though - and I think the 64 grille looks better. You could also swap fenders, just know that the hairpin on the 64 Valiant is larger than the 65 Valiant (which is the same as 64-65 Barracuda). Dashboard gauge cluster is also different, and a 64 with automatic trans will have pushbuttons while 65 will have a column or floor shift. Heater controls are different.

Mechanical is all swappable, as are most other body parts, including bumpers, doors, quarters, hood and trunk lid and (as far as I know) glass.

I believe the trunk lids are different.
 
The hoods are different too. In '65 the hood release is inside the nose emblem.
 
I guess everyone assumes you’re talking Valiants , but it could be Barracudas and or DodgeD Darts . Lots of differences in the Dodge dart, not so many differences in the Valiant, and the Barracudas are pretty much the same.
