    Need some advice on a 65 Valiant Signet

    A friend of mine got in touch with me the other day. She has a friend that has terminal cancer and is looking to get rid of stuff. He has a 65 Valiant Signet, 273 AT, that looks pretty nice and he used to use it as a driver. He also has a 73 Javelin, which I know nothing about, other than it is...

    Interesting VIN number on 68 Barracuda

    It doesnt matter what the state laws are. Altering a VIN is a federal offense. Also, selling a vehicle "as is" does not protect a seller from selling a vehicle with an altered VIN. It also does not protect the seller if he intentionally commits fraud or does not disclose known defects. A guy I...

    Interesting VIN number on 68 Barracuda

    Quite a few years ago, I took a challenger dash to Carlisle to sell. I got it along with some other parts and didnt need it. It was from a desire able car and still had the VIN plate attached. As per pa law, I cut the VIN tag in half. You wouldnt believe how many people ran over and stopped...

    Discrepancy between production numbers and VIN for 65 Barracuda

    The last 6 digits of the VIN is the sequence number. Since the sequence number is all cars from that plant for the model year, then that explains it all. Does anyone know what total production was from the Los Angeles plant for the 65 model year? I,d like to see where this car Falls in...

    Discrepancy between production numbers and VIN for 65 Barracuda

    This is buried in one of my other threads, but since I need an answer right away, I decided to start a new thread. I'm looking to pick up a 65 Barracuda on Wednesday and an issue came up that has me a little concerned. I've been told that the production number for 65 Barracudas is 64,596. The...

    Need 65 Barracuda info ** Updated **

    The current owner says he didn't replace the motor, and he said the previous owners son said it was the original motor. I know that people can say whatever they want, but is there a possibility that if this was a late production vehicle that they may have put a 66 motor in it? The sequence...

    I read somewhere that the electricity to charge electric cars has a higher carbon footprint than if you are running a modern gasoline powered car because of the power plant emissions. Don't know how true that is. Course, if the coal fired power plants all switch over to natural gas or...

    Missouri and food stamp program

    Back in the 30's they created the WPA. Unemployed people got assistance in exchange for working on government projects. That's how a lot of our roads, bridges, and public buildings got built. Today you get assistance for doing nothing, and our bridges and roads are deteorating because there...

    Were there any type of hood scoops for the 1965 Barracudas

    I dont think I've ever seen any type of factory hood scoop(s) on the 1964-1965 Barracudas, so I was just wondering if any type of factory scoops or different hoods were available for those years.

    Need 65 Barracuda info ** Updated **

    I would like on opinion on the floors though. The guy did an excellent job on them, so I'm wondering if I should just put carpeting in and forget about them, or replace them with metal? It's not a high dollar car and will mostly be a driver.

    Need 65 Barracuda info ** Updated **

    thanks for all the info everyone. I'm thinking that may be the original owner replaced the motor with a 66 since:he drove it from 65 to 78. The line lock makes me think that he took it to the local strip or something like that. The car is several hours away so I wont be back to check...

    Can't get it started

    Occam's Razor states "The simplest explanation is usually the most correct". Compression just doesnt go away by itself, so if it doesnt start with starting fluid, then it's likely an electrical issue. You mentioned that it was running before you worked on the dash, so I'd start there.

    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...

    Need 65 Barracuda info ** Updated **

    How about numbers? Are there any stampings on the body that should match the VIN or fender tag? How can you tell if it's a rebody? Did they stamp the radiator support back then? Also, did the tach only come with the Formula S?

    Need 65 Barracuda info ** Updated **

    When gas jumped drastically, gas stations ran dry, and rationing was put into effect, people did everything they could to get better mileage. I had a Cuda at the time, and replaced the 4bbl with a 2 bbl for that exact reason. Does anyone know the difference in leaf spring count that was...

    Long story, but I actually met the owner and he showed me a couple of pictures he had on his phone. But he actually lives a couple hours away from me. I do remember that the motor had black valve covers and a funny looking silver air cleaner. Also has 2 rectangular exhaust tips that either come...

    Need 65 Barracuda info ** Updated **

    Hi everyone. I'm going to look at a 65 Barracuda in a few days, and I was hoping that a few early A-body experts can help me out. The car is supposed to be pretty original with 38k miles. I saw some pictures of the car and engine, and it looks pretty good. They used it last year to go to car...
