New replacement ignition switches have a "Gnd" terminal that is not used on early ABodies.

You have your work cut out for you, welcome aboard. We have two '65's (Barracuda & Valiant convertible).

SBP is an abbreviation for "small bolt pattern" on rims/wheels. Newer years (than yours) use LBP (large bolt pattern) or sometimes a previous owner will have made the change from SBP to LBP.

Just what (who) I've been looking for, another fan of the four door model!

I'm a four-door fan. Is there anything a two-door can do that a four-door can't do better? (i.e. ingress & egress) LOL!

You and I share the same interests (and make/model/year), good to have you here.

Looking good! I purchased the same year, make, and model about 10 years ago. My first '65 Valiant (four-door) was my first car, back circa 1973.

I enjoyed reading your book also, thanks for the update. I'm building a NASCAR/Trans Am sized Mopar 305 small block by the way. Had Cunningham custom connecting rods fabricated for the 2.96 stroke full-radiused Bryant billet crankshaft I ordered.

That performance hood should prevent any snide comments regarding the "green" color. I like the green on your vehicle for some reason (like I just said, might be the hood scoops).

Welcome! My daily driver when I was building up my '65 Valiant bracket racer was a '63 Pontiac Grand Prix I purchased for $100.00 Circa 1974, I painted the Pontiac myself during my Body & Fender classes at community college. I wanted to add a clear coat with gold pearl, so I chose a solid...

I'm doing the same thing to a '65 Formula S. Maybe you can find some help in my resto fotos: Project "Chihuahua" '65 Formula S Restoration "Estilo Mexicano"

Did the 318 equipped Barracudas that year that you guys have come originally with the 727 Torqueflite or was the 904 Torqueflite original equipment? Thank you.

Same here, I immediately fell in love with the color, stripe, and "360" call out. It looks factory perfect to me.

I'm sure that A/C has been there forever. The compressor is the same one my parents had on their new 1971 Road Runner. The air grabber equipped cars were not available with factory A/C so the dealer had an A/C shop add A/C before final delivery. Only problem is the car did not have the proper...

I don't believe a 1965 Plymouth has any "matching" numbers on the engine anywhere. That started in later years, didn't it? Any block of the same "vintage" circa '64-'65 would put the car back in its original "pseudo" matching numbers condition. I have a '65 Barracuda Formula S with factory A/C...

Building a 340 now for a '72 BBody, I am so confused about these colors I am seriously thinking about going with black.

My first car was a '65 Valiant, paid $125.00 for it around 1973, the 273 V8 was only running on 7 cylinders (had a burned exhaust valve). Fixed it up a little at the Community College auto shop as you can see. Actually, I recenlty purchased two more 65 Plymouths, a Valiant Signet convertible and...

I love 340's. What camshaft are you running?

My oil pan had a tunnel built into it for the steering link.

Welcome, I have both A and B bodies so we have something in common. Sold my Valiant bracket racer in 1980 but here's a foto. Currently have 65 Formula S, 65 Valiant convertible, and 72 Satellite Sebring Plus.

The engine in my Valiant was a 273. Best E.T. was 12.72 at 108 mph. Sold it in 1980 to Renteria Bros. Last I heard, Kenny Moorhead owns it. It is painted black now, here's a video clip: '65 Plymouth Valiant Testing-Kenny Moorhead 2nd Pass - YouTube

Welcome to the show. I loved my four door (65 street legal bracket racer).

Four doors rule!

Like your car preference. I was running my own 1965 "Valiant Effort" back in the 1970's.

Manual steering is best: better road feel and no oil leaks-power steering always ends up making an oily mess. The lighter A Bodies don't need P/S anyway.
