Welcome, sweet car, really like the Cuda grilles and the chrome steelies....got any more pics?
Thanks for the warm welcome, all! Here's another pic with the top up. The car's in great shape mechanically, and I've spent some time over the last year putting in A/C (vintage air), disc brakes, etc. Next step is some interior rehab.

Too many projects
Welcome, that Barracuda grill looks great on there!
Welcome,sweet ride. Lmao at your choice of avatar pic...
I was told that Plymouth made a variant of the Valiant for the Mexico market called the Acapulco, and the Barracuda grill was one of the minor things that set it apart. While I have no way of verifying this, the story goes that some California dealer bought a dozen of them in '65, and this is one from that batch. Maybe a little far-fetched, but sounds cool nonetheless!
Love to see more pics of this car, it's a beauty!!
Nice 65! That grill does look like the "Acapulco". They also had a built in tachometer or maybe a clock in the shift console if I recall from pics I've seen.
