I don't know the answer... But I like 'em...

Custom, but they do look good on the car.

Lol...thanks!
It has chips and scratches and the rear valance is totally hammered....
Body work and a repaint ARE in her future.....

Painted on would be the best option I guess...under the clear...

even though there were numerous designs of "stripes" on muscle and "special edition" cars from 1965 to 1975, the design on your barracuda's hood was never offered on any barracuda from 1964 through 1993. HOWEVER, i think they look great and you should consider replacing them if you repaint the car. one suggestion - maybe do the ones on the repaint in Plymouth flat black? Chrysler LOVED flat black stripes and designs!

As mentioned a good painter...

Or a few members on here also can do graphics/tape decals... I know one of them is @2darts - he sent me some decals a while back and they were great...

Tamraz auto parts has rear valence panels...

They were made in two styles, the standard with single exhaust, or with cut-outs for dual exhaust like on the factory Formula S cars...


Here's the standard one:

67-69 Barracuda Rear Lower Valance Panel Standard AMD

Here's the dual exhaust one with the two cut-outs:

1968 1969 Barracuda Rear Valance Panel with Tips AMD


Here's the link for the Tamraz web site:

Here's the link for Tamraz's ebay site:

Tamraz's Parts Discount Warehouse | eBay Stores


Sometimes I can't find a part on one of their sites, but can on the other - I found out, it's best to call and ask... They have a warehouse 45 minutes away from me, and if I pick up the parts myself, they don't charge shipping...

AMD has repop rear lower valance with or without factory style dual exhaust cutouts.

 

[MrJLR]

That rear valance is a job for a professional!

Thanks guys!
