Hey...does that thang have a HEMI in it???????? If it does you need to put it in the back UNDER THE GLASS! My aunt and uncle bought the first 64 Barracuda that came to town and had it until it literally fell on the ground from rust. I kept asking him to sell it to me and he kept saying he was saving it for his son. Well...his son wanted nothing to do with it. White, red interior with 273 with the push button auto. It's great to see this one with a 318 and FOUR SPEED! That 2.94 rear gear must make it a nice highway driver. Great color too.

Thanks for the comment... Yes that 2.94 gear matched with the 4 speed is perfect for highway and I must say that this little sleeper still has enough power to destroy a set of rear tires in a short time ;) My little 4 bbl carb is awesome. I still get 16 mpg though.

I keep coming back looking at this car to find something wrong with it.............

so far...............I haven't found a thing. When it's right, it's right!

Thank you for the comment ..I appreciate It is not perfect ..as it is a summer driver...but a very very clean driver i must say :) I take good care of it. Your car is also very nice and this model is quite rare here in Quebec.. Keep taking care of it ... You're doing good.. :)

There's an article in Hemmings Muscle Machines December 2017 issue, page 80 they restored a 1965 Barracuda called Black & Blue. It's far from stock but it is always nice to see a car come back from the scrap yard and get a second chance at life. That rear window is iconic when it comes to reminding me there was a HEMI under there. When I was a kid building models, the influence has never left this 66 year old's memory.

Very nice car, I had an early 64 for 13yrs.It still had the Valiant emblem on the rear valance. I love that car,Intel it got rear ended one mothers day.

I always thought these mid sixties Mopar's were really sharp. I am old enough to remember the Hurst Hemi Under Glass wheelie car. Cheers.

Man oh man, what would it cost to replace that rear glass today. Ochh.

Beautiful 65 Barracuda you have Pat. It's a rarely seen car today. I was lucky to see the original Hemi Under Glass back in the late sixties at the Westhampton National Speedway in NY. It was a blast!
