My First Mopar: '65 Barracuda Formula S

[Ciguatera]

Hi all,

I just bought a black 1965 Barracuda Formula S in nice unrestored stock condition. I've always loved the unusual looks of 1960's Mopars, especially early Barracudas. For some reason they're not very popular, but for me it's a dream car. This is not only my first Chrysler product, but also my first classic car.

I plan to keep it stock for now, except for a few safety improvements. Even though it's in great condition, I know I'm in for some work, and this looks like the place to get help and meet some great folks who live and breathe Mopars. I can't wait to get started!

Best,

Ciguatera

Here's a picture from the previous owner as a placeholder until I get a chance to take some better ones:
