Very nice 65 family member to my car!

Very nice indeed!

Mine is a 318 w/ 904 trans very simple set up runs good and surprises many who try to take it on. It does have an 8.25 rear for a little go power strength over the original 7.25 rear. Also body still needs some work as well as paint job so it is a sleeper so to speak. Mechanically totally redone...

Looks very good!

None ever done from the factory for sure, but I have seen some people do it for sure. 65 cudalover

Reality on that 65 Barracuda is for what the person is asking and for the fact that it is far from original anymore,it like my 65 formula s becomes a great opportunity to build a nice driver. Your ability to convert the brakes over to front disc brake kit, split the master cylinder into a modern...

Very nice car looks better than mine already but does it run better? They are always projects in motion and fun to do. Mine is a driver and I get in it drive it and make people turn there heads. I have put lots of money into making it go and saving to make it look better next round. Its my...

My 65 Formula S is original Blue and the grill is black. I have not painted it yet and for my best knowledge it was never painted. I hope this helps as when I paint the car eventually it will remain this way for sure! 65cudalover

I have a 65 Formula S and she just needs a little body and paint to finish her up. however I drive her all the time and don't worry about it anymore as it is a hole I throw money into anymore! I just upgraded to aluminum radiator and aligned the front end after replacing some rubber bushings...

mine is a 65 formula S blue, but needs to be finished with a little body and paint job. However it is 100% mechanically good! She runs like a rabbit and I drive it all the time. In fact I just put a aluminum radiator in it and had the front end aligned. She is a fun car and this weekend the...

All I can add is my 65 Formula S has been a love of my life and a project since I got it many years ago. I had a battle with epilepsy and it sat for 3 plus years at my friends house just waiting for me to be able to drive it again. 3 yrs ago I won that battle after having brain surgery and I...

If both those tail lights are good I would like them to hang on too for my 65 as well as the chrome v piece back of the window they are hard to come by in nice shape and expensive to restore. 65cudalover

I just showed my wife this beautiful picture of your Barracuda! All she could say is "Its red yours is blue". No clue as to the perfect beauty of your early a body and the far distant need of mine still needing all the chrome done and a new paint job! I just am working on installing new aluminum...

I did a front disc brake kit on mine with dual master cylinder to start as safety is first! Also changes the dinky rear to a 8.25 a body rear that also helps to make it more reliable and also added to upgrade to 14 inch rally wheels from original 13 inch wheels on my formula S. Mine also has the...

Way to go Swing love seeing the kids get all and the projects you all do make me smile as when I get in my 65 and turn the key it goes varoom varoom every time!! Now here in Chicago it was nice the other day and I was out Sunday moving snow around the driveway (yuck) as we had over 18" last...

I would just add in the pictures is my 65 Barracuda formula S the blue one from several years ago. I sold it to Mike and the class and when done was so happy to get it back for what they did with it. I drive it and love it all the time. In fact it was driven when I moved from Washington DC area...

I hate to say it but I must agree with all the stated above. I am on my second early a body barracuda. The first a 66 done up for street class 1/4 mile racing and driving ran low 12's before being ran into one day coming home from the track in the rain. I had just built a 8 3/4 rear for it...

Exactly my 65 Barracuda has a 8.25 rear put in it to replace the original small rear end. Just as stated the driveshaft needs to be adjusted, but it is perfect time to make it more modern and put in a modern u-joint set up also to replace the ball and trunion set up. Mine was done that way and...

No doubt it's a Valiant as opposed to my own 65 formula S which has the original grill. All the eary a body part interchange pretty much as the parts where made in the same factories and swapped a lot! 65Cudalover

Robert, My 65 formula S needs a new radiator and tired of fixing the one in it. I was thinking of aluminum just like what you just did, as I too need trans cooler too! My car is updated to 318 and 904 trans later model than original. So my question is how much did it cost and contact...

Simple example Hemi Under Glass!!!!! What an awesome car to remake! Putting one under the hood is another trick all together. 65Cudalover

Yes do as I did have it converted to a modern U-joint drive shaft and make life easier to handle and enjoy with your car. I did it with mine during the mechanical restoration process and have had no issues what so ever since. Its a simple change to be done by a good driveshaft shop. The old Ball...

I think they are the same as not much changed at all between 64 and 65 Barracudas. I have a 65 Formula S and wish you good luck finding any decent rocker moldings. I have my original ones which are not on the car currently as they are just ok and I had them off and like it with them off. My car...

Just keep in mind down the road you will definitely want to upgrade to a better rear end. My 65 formula S has been improved to a 8.25 rear and does very well with it. I had a 66 that I drag raced done with a 8.75 rear that was built to rock and roll as that car ran low 12's. Its all about money...

Way to go and keep on playing with the big boy toy as I call my 65 formula S!! They are always a project in the working and someday down the road will get done, but as I refer to it a hole we throw money into as the value is never going to be worth the investment we take on. Truth is it is our...

I must say that is amazing paint job, where are you at? My 65 Barracuda Formula S is in need of a little body and paint to finish it up! I have been saving money so down the road it will get done one winter. I live in Chicago area now. So I will need to find a place to get it done, you look...

Its not that expensive to rent a trailer and tow it home then get it running properly and drive it like I do with my 65 Barracuda also with a 318! Or even a front wheel tow set up will work good for that fact. You would not want a wheel cylinder to go on you going down the road if one is...

Its your car do what you like and for us early A Barracuda lovers. they are what ever you want to do with them value wise! As I tell people who see my work in progress 65 formula s, its mechanically 100% done, just needs some body work and a paint job. Its a hole I throw money into! However down...

Very very nice, some day mine will catch up to that one I hope. All it takes is money! 65Cudalover

All I can say is with mine it is pump gas pedal twice and she starts right up with regular manual fuel pump. Its an early 70's 318. I am sure this is no help but should not need starter fluid to get her rolling. I can say after its been sitting a long time in winter once and awhile I do need a...
