One more picture here of my '65 Barracuda in full race mode in September 2002 at Richmond VA. If it looks a little funny, it's because this picture was photographed off a T-shirt. My wife asked a paid photographer to shoot it (for a T-shirt) but she never got the actual photo. It ran a best of 10.81 at 127 mph in those days and hasn't been back to the track since.

She needs a bit of work especially around the torsion bars but nothing I can't fix.

Here is my newest addition, 63 Valiant 200 . Last registered in '84, been sitting since from what I can tell. Plans for now is to clean it up, see if the motor is any good, and make it a reliable car to drive around as I tinker on it. Ive really been itching to build a mild turbo slant and she looks like the perfect for that down the road.. :evil4:

I love that Southwest sun-dried patina! Good sleeper material.
Put a hot drive train in it but don't touch the exterior.

This car will be staying a slant six, eventually to be built up into what probably will turn out to be a turbo car. I've always wanted to build one. I'm thinkin dark tinted windows, newer style bucket seats, and making it a reliable driver for now.
 
Here is my 64 Barracuda :hello2:

Hey Ohio joe, I'm building a 65 conv and I see the way your rear end looks and it's bad ***. I just got finished mini tubbing mine and I shortened the A body 8.75 another 2 inches on each side. My question is how's your rear end set up and what's the back spacing on your rear rims? Looks sick man. All the info would help so I can get the rears ordered.

Thanks 65DartCharger,lots of work and trial & error over the years.The car ran great all season(with about 140 passes).Now put away in the garage for some upgrades for next season.
Transbrake and Cheetah shifter
Fuel cell
For some reason I enjoy working on the car when its -20 outside.LOL:violent1:
 
gtmopar,rear spacing on rear wheels are 4". wheels are 15x15 with 29.5x3.5x15 M/ T slicks. It has a 4 link with Afco double adj schocks.car runs 10.80s.l guess u can tell its strickly a drag car.i would post more pics but have a bad time getting them on here.

That might help. How soon can you be here? LOL : ) I'm working on my junk now! We'll see. BTW, got hooked on pettybludart's '66 Dart thread. Reminds me not only of the '66 Dart I had in high school but my '65 Barracuda as well.
