    So, what is THIS Color ? Ruby Red ?

    65 Barracuda paint suggestions

    Where I am it's actually hard getting a paint code for Ruby Red. Each manufacturer has it's own colours and cross referencing isn't that easy. I've never seen Ruby Red in the flesh, but I'm going to try and see if someone can somehow make it up.

    65 Barracuda paint suggestions

    Regarding radio bezels…..there must be someone. To be honest, I’m pretty confident there’s a couple of places here in Australia that could do them, but I’m surprised if it’s not already a thing.

    65 Barracuda paint suggestions

    To make things worse, I thought I had a great red colour picked, and tried it on the engine bay. Paint was nice and shiny, but simply didn't go with the red interior trim I bought. I'll probably end up just doing Ruby Red again..... but it doesn't quite do it for me.

    65 Barracuda paint suggestions

    Hi all, I've just stripped my 65 Formula S, getting it ready for paint. Originally.....it's a Ruby Red car, with red interior. Trouble is I'm not sold on the standard Ruby red. In saying that, I'm interested in opinions of various other reds that might suit the red interior. Recently at a...

    65 Plymouth Barracuda radio bezel rechrome

    Thanks mate. Hoping there actually is a rechroming place that does them. Will match the new dash fascia I bought. Appreciate the tip tough…..I may need to use it.

    Seat cover recomendations?

    I just received seat covers and door panels for my 65 Barracuda…… Legendary was recommended by many on this forum…. They’re excellent.

    Some questions on the 273 head gasket "thing".

    Much appreciated. I’ll have a look. Those summit ones are a good price, but postage is a killer.

    Some questions on the 273 head gasket "thing".

    G'day guys, so......I've got a 65 Barracuda formula S with the Commando 273. Motor is out, and seems in reasonable shape, but I plan on opening it up for a look. Head gasket - I've read all the stuff about the bore being smaller and therefore a smaller "odd" shaped gasket. IF I go with the...

    What size clutch in a 65 Barracuda Formula S ??

    Well Rat Rod…..you’ll be glad to know I simply bit the bullet and ordered one of these from Rock Auto. I’ll let you know how it goes. At the moment I’m simply after something to get me going again……even though the box is out at the moment and I’m cleaning it up. Thanks everyone for the replies...

    What size clutch in a 65 Barracuda Formula S ??

    Did you need to change the flywheel of bell housing to accomodate the 10" plate ?

    Is moulded seat foam the best way to go ?

    That’s what I’m thinking. There is literally nothing left. I vacuum it up, and there’s more the next day.

    Is moulded seat foam the best way to go ?

    Hi all. Currently doing a 65 Barracuda, and whilst I’ve ordered Legendary seat skins, I was wondering if the moulded seat foam is the best way to go ? I’ve never used moulded seat foam, and I can tell you the foam in my front buckets has completely crumbled away….COMPLETELY. Is it that good...

    65 Barra Formula S - 10 inch clutch ok ?

    G’day guys, I’ve had a few opposing opinions on this, but figured I’d ask one last time in this discussion….. Will a 10" Clutch kit fit my 273, 4peed Barracuda without changing anything like the flywheel, bellhousing etc ? I’m looking at a Perfection Clutch kit from Rock Auto MU 1525-1 They...

    What size clutch in a 65 Barracuda Formula S ??

    Thanks mate.....makes me wonder why Rock Auto lists the larger clutch kits, then ?

    What size clutch in a 65 Barracuda Formula S ??

    Hi all, "yes"....I have tried searching, but still unsure. I'm about to purchase a new clutch kit for the Formula S I recently bought. Rock Auto lists a few kits that are all around the 10 1/2" type, but....... my manual says that the Vals and Barrcudas had 9 1/2". I also see comments about...

    273 Commando Rebuild Or Not?

    I should have replied earlier…… thanks for the info. I’m considering freshening up my Commando 273 just for the sake of it. Haven’t done a compression check yet, but it starts and runs very well, but does blow a small amount of blue smoke when revved a bit harder. I’ve literally only driven it...

    Interior sale

    I’ve emailed Legendary about international postage over the past 10 days…..took 4 days for initial reply, requesting a snapshot of what I wanted, then maybe another 3 days with a quote. That’s ok.

    273 Commando Rebuild Or Not?

    Is it “better” to use them ?

    273 Commando Rebuild Or Not?

    Just curious……so they don’t make 273 head gaskets, but you CAN use 318 gaskets. So what’s the difference between them ?

    [Found!] 65 Valiant / Barracuda turn signal arm - chrome

    Hi all. As the heading says, I’m after a decent chrome turn signal lever for my 65. Heads up….I’m in Australia, and probably have to pay with PayPal. I noticed on EBay it looks like there’s repros being made for 67 up…..they look the same ?? Thanks, Peter.
