    Front and rear glass install (65 Barracuda)

    I'm about to install the back glass on my 65 Cuda. I have a friend who's installed a bunch of glass over the years (none of them in a car like this) and he tells me there's no need for any kind of adhesive. He seems sure that some kind of rope in the front side of the glass will keep the rubber...

    Engine Decode?

    If it were a small block Chevy I'd know tons of places online to decode it but being a Mopar newbie I don't know of any. Can anyone give me a link or help me out with these numbers? I know it's a 318 but other than that, it could have come out of anything from any year. The stamp on the...

    Another 65 Cuda glass question.

    Now that I have my vent windows and quarter windows in, today was supposed to be the day to put in the door glass. Anyone got some tips on doing this? So far I've tried to get the window in with the reg still bolted into the door and that hasn't worked to well. Then I tried taking the track off...

    65 Barracuda Quarter Window Question

    I just came in from the shop after wrestling with my quarter windows. Is it even possible to get the window track on the regulator with the regulator still in the car or does it have to go in place as a unit. There just doesn't seem to be enough room down there to get the track on both regulator...

    Just got off the phone with Memike

    What a class act that gentleman is. I caught him on his cel phone on his way to go to a pool tourney and even gave him a chance to bail on the call because I knew he was busy. Not Mike, we talked until he got to where he was going, which was about 20 mins. I had a great conversation, with a...

    1965 904 Trans cable question

    I have a 65 Barracuda 904 ball and trunion style trans with two shifter cables. Will these come out from the outside of the trans or am I going to have to rip the trans apart to get them out? I've only tried to get the front one out so far with not much luck. I shined a small flashlight in the...

    Fusebox Question (65 Barracuda)

    I just finished getting my dash painted and back together but before I put it in the car I'd like to put the fusebox and harness back in to make life easier. Being that this is my first Mopar I'm not exactly sure where it goes because I didn't take the car apart. I'm assuming it should be...

    Gauge Cluster Question.

    I just came across a cluster that I suspect is out of an E-body Cuda or Challenger. The speedo itself is to the left of the steering column and it's a 150 MPH speedo. I'm thinking this cluster didn't come out of a slant 6 or 318 car if indeed it is an E-body cluster. Could be out of a B-body too...

    65 Barracuda door glass questions?

    I just finished cleaning up my vent window assy's and was going to install them in the doors. I also need to install the side glass and tracks too. What should go in first, the vents, the sides, or does it matter one way or the other? I don't want to start putting it together just to have to...

    65 Cuda pass side wheelwell stainless.

    I have two and a half sets for the front but I seem to be short of the pass side rear. Willing to swap some fronts or buy outright the piece I need. It doesn't have to be perfect but I don't want a piece that's beat to crap either. The closer it can be to BC Canada would be a bonus too ;)...

    A little more work done on the 65 Cuda.

    It's been a good long weekend so far. I got the VERY crusty driveshaft stripped down and painted (with a black widow twist ), got the front end done in satin black, polished up the rocker moldings and extra set of door sill plates I found in my pile of parts. Sorry, no pics of the sill plates...

    A Blast From the Past

    Memike's Musicians Alert got me inspired to post this one. My old soundman from back in my rock and roll band days hooked up with me on Facebook this morning and emailed me a few pics from about 21 years ago. Damn I wish my hair and stash were still that dark. Having kids sure brings on the...

    Driveshaft question?

    A couple of weeks back I picked up a 318/904 combo out of a 76 Valiant 4 door sedan. My question is, will the driveshaft fit or will I have to cut it down? This will be going into a 65 Barracuda that was originaly 273 Commando/904 car. I spent a couple of hours today cleaning up the driveshaft...

    Can anybody give me an approxamate curb weight of a 65 Cuda with a smallblock 904 combo. I'm guessing around 3000 lbs give or take a hundred or two.

    Good Guy Alert, Hound Dawger.

    Although he doesn't post here much and may not even look at this board anymore since he's moved to restoring E-bodies he deserves a mention since I met him through this board. I finally met him at a local car show a couple of weeks back and he said he had a 318/904 combo taking up space in his...

    Met a FABO member today.

    Comoxian stopped by today on his way from Vancouver Island to Penticton. It was a pleasure to meet him and his son over a couple of cold ones.8) I looked over his nice little Dart and then we went into my shop to check out my 65 Barracuda over a couple cold ones. Did I say "over a couple of cold...

    64 Barracuda-$1600

    Not mine. A friend on another board gave me a heads up on this one. Looks like a good deal for someone out there. http://tucson.craigslist.org/cto/1224293706.html

    Non A-body question.

    I have yet to get a motor and trans for my 65 Cuda but I have found a deal on a possible parts car with a 318 auto, and the guy also has a running (according to him) 318 in his shop. I don't know the exact year of the parts car but it looks to be an early to mid 80's Dodge Diplomat 2 door. The...

    A Good Score, and a Question

    I found out about an abandoned house here in town that is going up for sale soon. I guess the renters left in a hurry and left a bunch of stuff outside for the taking. The first thing I see is some firewood and I was getting kinda low so I got enough now to last us the rest of the season. I go...

    Barracuda/Valiant motor question.

    The biggest baddest motor you could get in a 65 Cuda was a 273 yet in 1968 my Mom bought a 65 Valiant with a 318 4 brl and it was a pretty quick little car for a stocker. The kid she sold it to took me for a ride in it before he wrapped it around a pole a couple weeks later and that little car...

    A Couple of 65 Cuda Questions.

    I have 3 chrome pieces that go below the rear window on my 65, two of them have the round Valiant V on them and one has the Barracuda on it. Is this a year to year thing or could it be a difference from a Canadian produced car over a US built one? My other question is, I have two trunk lids. One...

    A couple of A-body rookie questions.

    I've got a 65 Cuda that I really want to put an A-833 four speed in. The car was originally a 273 Commando/Auto car with buckets and a console floor shifter. How much of a pain in the a$$ is this conversion going to be? I'm assuming I'm going to have to modify the trans hump and cut off all of...

    Rearend question for a 65 Cuda

    What's the biggest, beefiest rearend that I can get with the small bolt wheel pattern that would be a bolt in for my 65? Even if it ain't a bolt in and I have to move some spring perches, that wouldn't be a problem. Just some extra info here. I'm planning on a 360/4spd combo and I know that...

    Formula S Emblem pic

    Someone here has a Formula S pic as their avatar. If possible do you have a larger pic. I have a nice pair of emblems but I need to repaint them so the pic would help me immensely. It's for a 65 by the way. Thanks in advance. Regards Red
