Hello all, I am not sure how old the rear springs on my '65 Barracuda 'S' might be. The car seems to have a bit of a low stance in the rear, and I am wondering how much the springs might be sagging. Also, they are not the correct, stiffer 'S' springs. Would somebody have a similar car with newer...

Interesting, maybe they just determined that it helped increase air circulation.

Greatly appreciated, I am going to contact them first thing monday. I checked and believe you are correct, the springs are tired. There is a company here that re-stresses springs. I will go chat with them also. Thanks again

Very good point, they are older, maybe original. Currently the quarter panel lip is 22" off the ground. I will check out the pricing.

Very cool.

Ok, I don't have that switch.I am pretty sure my car never had a defogger. trying to find out other reasons for the short rear panel. Thank you for the pic. I continue to learn. Rjg

Ok, I'm convinced. AIR SHOCKS IT IS!! Seriously though, thank you all for the input.

Thank you Dave, I am going to check that out tomorrow.

I will do some more looking into the shackles. The ones I have found so far have been longer than I was hoping for. Thank you for the response.

Shifting to another topic. Can some one suggest the best and easiest way to put a slight lift to the tail of my '65 Barracuda. Most of the aftermarket stuff I have found seems too tall. I am only looking for 1' or so.

Yes, the shorter panel does have that cut-out, but not the metal trim. Yep, I am also a contractor trying to find time to enjoy the cars in this improving weather, but that darn work won't get out of the way. Go figure.

Cool, Thank you very much. So I had come to an incorrect assumption. Do you know what were the reasons for the different panels? My 'S' has what looks to be the original short panel, and I have a long panel for a '65. But I have separate metal trim for just the longer panel. Did both types have...

I have been trying to figure out how the rear defogger worked in the '65 barracuda's, and what equipment was needed. While doing some research regarding the defogger, I learned that, in the '65 Barracuda it was only available as a dealer add-on. As I understand it there was a blower somewhere in...

Also, so they would both have the metal trim around the edge?

Thank you, that is very interesting. I have only seen one set of dash switches for the heat. Do you now where the switch for the defroster was located, or what other extra material/equipment would be in those cars to make the defrost?

Hello FABO, For a 1965 barracuda, it seems that there are two different shapes for the tilt-up trunk separation panel. One type extends on the right side to enclose the quarter panel void. The other type does not have that extension. I know the 'S' has a kidney shape for the wider tire. Did the...

Thank you all for the great feedback. So, my car would have been black, no pattern. One more question: was the original 1 7/8" or 2"?

Hello FABO, Does someone know what shift knob came with a 65 Barracuda 4speed. My car is an 'S' with Hurst shifter and black interior. Were all the knobs white, or did some come black to match the interior? The floor trim plate has the shift pattern, so did the knobs come plain, with no shift...

Thank you all for the input. Yep, found the tabs. Pain in the tail, but goter done. Thanks again, Richard

I need to remove and slightly relocate the stainless carpet protector plate near the accelerator pedal, on my Barracuda 'S'. From under the car I do not see any connection through the tunnel. Could someone help explain to me how these are mounted, and how to remove it. Thank you FABO, Richard

On my 1965 Barracuda 'S', I need to move the stainless plate (carpet protector) next to the accelerator. Could someone help me understand how to remove and install that part. From under the car I don't see any connection at the tunnel wall. Thank you FABO, Richard

Would someone be able to verify for me if a drivers door for a '63 Valiant convertible is a match for a Valiant 2-door hardtop? Richard
