My sunvisor brackets are pitted and need to be replated. I've been quoted $405 to replate, which includes disassembly/reassembly of rods from mounting brackets. Has anyone bought and installed reproduction sunvisor brackets? Do they fit and function properly, are you happy with them? ?

For sale, a very nice original '65 Barracuda black dash pad. In storage for over 25 years, no cracks. One small indentation (see pics). I've had this for over 20 years and have not used any vinyl cleaners or silicones on it. Install as is or spray dye whatever color you need. No broken...

When purchased, my '65 Barracuda FS did not have a plastic molding over the center rear support member for the rear glass. It only had the plastic covers in the bottom corners (see picture). I have been under the belief that there was no plastic cover for the center piece, instead the center...

Its time for me to give serious consideration to the chrome pieces at the base of the rear window on my '65 Barracuda project. I'd like some feedback as to what techniques others have used to paint these. On most any original pieces I see, and the two sets I have , the paint is literally gone...

I was not able to find any factory exhaust manifold support brackets for my '65 FS, so I made my own and thought I would share the process. Here's the link to the closed wanted post, go to the bottom and you'll see what I ended up doing...

So...my engine has not been running in over 20 years and I am working with a box of parts finding homes for them as I go along. I have 4 of the bellhousing braces, two different lengths. One fits fine on the right side as shown in the picture, BUT the oil filter has to be moved to the position...

I'm looking for the two brackets that bolt to the bellhousing and the tail of the exhaust manifold on the left side. For my '65 F/S resto, I can't find them in the parts book, but here's what they look like. I'm not sure if these came on '65s, but they look like a good idea. (Photo credit to...

Looking for a right side exhaust manifold gasket for '65 273. Parts book shows 2465842, no heat shield. Thanks! Bob

I've viewed the sticky video and the '65 FSM on adjusting the shift linkage rods. The video and the FSM only show the B body linkage (not the A which is different), but both require the use of a special tool to hold the Hurst shift levers at neutral. Later shifters use the alignment hole to...

Looking for an early L & R Kelsey Hayes "star" hole disc brake hose bracket set. Willing to purchase outright or trade for my later "D" hole style brackets that have been media blasted and painted.

What are others using for PS pressure hose replacements early A body 273 cars? I have the original well worn 2267598, and am having a hard time finding a replacement. Parts book shows a different part number for the 6 cyl cars. RockAuto shows the Sunsong 3401538 for the 273 application, but...

I just noticed a couple cracks in the front retainer on the 4 speed I'm installing. This was rebuilt prior to my purchase, looks like RTV was used as sealant. Seems to be fit well, not sure why the cracks are there, probably from over torqueing bolts. Is this a problem? Do I need to search...

Restoring my '65 FS 273 with 4 speed. The transmission is cleaned, rebuilt and ready to go, but can't decide if I should paint it or leave it natural. There is (what I believe to be) a factory stencil number 4 on the side, It looks like it was made over black paint, and there is evidence of...

Would like NOS, same part for 4 speed or automatic, must have two studs, thanks! Bob

My '65 FS has body cracks under the rear window, and I've read here on FABO that they are a known problem. The body has been media blasted and each side is slightly cracked through the body lead at the seam there. I bought subframe connectors and plan on installing them in an effort to keep...

My bodyman ask me to try and locate a decent 1/4 panel bottom for my '65 Barracuda project. Mine has rust holes after blasting, this is the bottom behind the right rear wheel.

My dash is out and stripped for paint, as well as the car body. The '65 Barracuda had a non-reflective black paint applied to the areas behind the grill to give it a blackout look and also in the recessed areas in the front bottom valance panel, and on top of the dash (black) to reduce...

I had this posted in the "sticky" on '65 literature, but it seems like it hasn't been noticed, so I hope I don't get into trouble but here goes: I am looking for a copy (scan) of the 1965 Barracuda Formula S road test article found in the Oct 1964 issue of Car & Driver. I have the Feb 1965 Hot...

In need of a fan pulley for my '65 273 Barracuda with no AC but with power steering. Thanks! Bob

I'm about to install the Fel-Pro intake manifold gasket in my '65 273. The instructions say to install plastic retainers in the second bolt hole from each end, do not apply sealant across the gaskets or seals but to apply a dab of the supplied RTV where the gaskets and seals meet. Attached are...

Putting together my solid lifter 273, all stock parts. I have the shafts mounted with the oil holes pointing down towards the exhaust ports in the head and each shaft hole lines up with each rocker. These are cast, not stamped rockers, and I can't find assembly info in the service manual. This...

In need of exhaust manifold heat shields for '65 273. Would like both sides if possible, but need left the most. Thanks! Bob

I'm getting close to assembling my 273 4 bbl for my '65 Barracuda FS project. Been studying photos of like engines and noticed some have heat shields installed between the driver's side exhaust manifold and the spark plugs, and some don't. My project did not come with these shields and am...

Looking for a nice used or NOS fan switch for my non AC '65. PN 2497006 stamped on switch. I have PayPal, thanks! Bob

The sheet metal plate attached to the underside on my 273 4 bbl intake manifold for my '65 FS has gone missing. I'm pretty sure my machinist lost the part, as I have looked everywhere for it. The plate is normally riveted to the underside, and I know some folks feel they're not needed, but I...

This was in with heater parts for my '65 FS, but I don't think it belongs to that assembly. Any ideas where its goes?

Just wanted to post a public "thank you" to Mopar Leo for the fine job he did on rebuilding my door hinges. Better than new with steel rollers in place of the failed plastic originals. New springs too. Blasted, marked, and sealed in plastic ready for paint. Thanks Leo!

My bodyman has asked me to locate a good left side quarter panel end piece. The car was hit before I bought it in the left side, tail light area (see pictures). He would like the piece to be at least 12" in from where the taillight mounts. Would be best to include the part that is on the...

The original 273 from my '65 Barracuda Formula S is now rebuilt and ready for pickup, but have run into an issue I need input on. This was an automatic that I have converted to a 4 speed using all factory parts including the proper bellhousing found at a swap meet. The machinist did the...

The timing cover for my original 273 4bbl is corroded beyond repair and I am looking for a good used replacement. The numbers cast into it are 2128896, below that 09104, below that 12, made in Canada. Parts book shows it as PN 1944773. Thanks! Bob
