I am selling my 1965 Barracuda due to loss of my job. Car s located near Birmingham Alabama and it is almost completely done and is a really beautiful car. I took a very nice 273 4 speed car and used is to create a Formula S tribute to use all of the parts from my total basket case Formula S that was the donor car for many of the parts. I DID NOT change any vin plates or fender tags.
The Good:
*99% Rust free car to start with, only rust a small spot behind the drivers seat and there were a few small perforations in the outer quarter skin due to southern dirt roads as this was a Georgia/Alabama car it's whole life.
*painted Viper Red with matte black Barracuda Sport Stripe (correct dimension) and interior metals are painted to match
*All Black New Legendary interior
*New headliner
*New Visors
*All new ACC Carpet
*low mileage was showing on the odometer before restoration (~70K)
*correct 65 Formula S intake and Carter AFb
*NOS Formula S emblems
*Lots of NOS stuff under the hood
*Commando wrinkle finish valve covers (done by Leanna, the Mistress of Metal, aka cudachik)
*Commando chrome breather
*Commando chrome pcv and and oil filler cap
*two Original side view mirrors
*Faux "original Green Cap" battery topper
*all trim is complete
*I can include the New Cragars and BFG's that have less than 1 mile on them (roll on/off trailer, around shop, etc) or I can include the original 14 inch wide rims with correct Formula S 14 inch wheel covers that are in really nice shape
The Bad:
I am currently finishing the small details that include
*installing an NOS Formula S/Commando 273 resonator
*hooking up the dash wiring
*small carpet details(in back area)
*bleeding the brakes (new master Cylinder, may install new wheel cylinders if they arrive before sold)
*Not a true Commando engine, but it ran strong before the work began (donor car motor was locked up and was an auto)
*I am including the Commando Sway Bar and Lower control arms with correct tabs. I didn't install them because the alignment was dead on and i don't want to mess with it before the show.
The Ugly:
I haven't started the car since I have finished the work done on it. I hurried to get it ready for a show (World of Wheels, won my class) so a few of the details mentioned above were left undone.
Car is registered in my name but since it is a Pre '75 Alabama car THERE IS NO TITLE, bill of sale only.
I will be trailering it to a friend's shop on Monday to get the remaining details worked out, start it, and begin driving a little to insure it is road worthy.
I have sunk a lot of money and time into this project and I will never get all of that back.
I am asking $18,500 but will entertain all offers and possibly a trade for vehicles listed below (that I could use as a daily driver). I will also be running it through the JMark Auction Sept 4-5 in Birmingham, Alabama. Car is for sale locally as well. I'd love for one of y'all to have first shot at it and who knows, one day you may have it for sale!
I will upload better pictures, these were screen shots from an iPad and aren't great. Car is beautiful!
