I would check some of the hard to replace items such as the torsion bars, and the front sway bar. If you know what an early A body sway bar looks like, that would be a pretty big giveaway, as they’re not easy to find, and not often installed to try to pass off as a real S car. Torsion bars too, and of course the “31” must be there, that is the 4bbl motor designation.
With all due respect regarding 65 Barracuda S cars: The 322 sales code option for the S package includes the tachometer as printed on the window sticker. The tachometer could be optioned on any 8 cylinder car (sale code 468), but was standard equipment with the S package. SG (Sure-Grip) was an extra cost option with any engine or transmission choice or package choice, and true for either the 7 1/4" or 8 3/4" rear end. So far as I know, the only time Sure-Grip was a "mandatory option" was a 4 speed Hemi or 440 Magnum car with the required 9 3/4" Dana rear. The only way I know to identify a factory Formula S package on a 1965 Barracuda is if the number "2" is stamped beneath the large letter "C" on the fender tag. And strangely enough, I haven't found the S package (again sales code 322) denoted on a 1965 build sheet. But all of the "S" performance components, such as the tachometer are on the build sheet.
Thank you, I am asking for a picture of the fender tag and have not received a response from the seller.
If I could find another red 64 Dart GT Hardtop that has all of the paint already done, I could use all of the parts from my total loss car. With that being said, I would like to find a V-8 car this time around.
thanks for chiming in Biggs, I was in the ball park, but didn’t come near a home run. I did hear that about mid year 65, the 7 1/4” rear in a 4 speed car was automatically a SG due to the high rate of warranty replacements they were receiving. And that the 8 3/4” was offered as an option in late 65, again for this reason.
Hello I have a 1966 barracuda for sale. Slant six auto. Good condition. For sale in Virginia but I travel to Philadelphia and could haul for a fee. Asking 13,000 obo
Thank you, that is a fair asking price. I do want a V8 car this time around. I am sure you will sell it fairly quickly. A little bit of hard work and that car would start to sparkle.
I believe the insurance claim should be all done sometime next week. I am looking over two cars that I may make an offer on. But, they are not a 1964 Dodge Dart GT which is not an issue for me. However, my 2 copilots 8 and 12 are still expressing their sadness at losing the car. And, have even expressed their desire to have the car repaired, or finding another 64 Dart GT Hardtop. I know I am the one to make the decision, but my boys are challenging me. The classic car adjuster estimated the car repair for $1000 less than what I have an agreed value amount with my insurer. I could add 3K from my wallet and find a car already done. Decisions Decisions Decisions.
Thank you, I have two commando engines. Just installed one with a four speed into my 64 and I have a 66 commando I may put in this car with auto on the floor. If someone is interested I will offer the 273 or a split exhaust and offenhauser with twin webbers.
I found a gold 1964 Dart GT for sale. I have had many auto enthusiasts over the years mention that the Gold Dart GT's were a special color for the Dodge anniversary. Is this true or just a wrong interpretation?

The gold anniversary is 50 years and 64 was Dodge's Golden Anniversary. There were a lot of gold cars produced in 64.
