Thx for the nice comments. Jamie definitely has the best viewers. I was a bit apprehensive since, in case it wasn't clear, the car was just bolted together to get it on a trailer. I'm getting ready to start a channel so there will be plenty more action on the barracuda plus other mopar's, dune buggies and motorcycles. Don't hold your breath, it'll happen eventually. Thanks again

That’s one angry fish

So pretty! I want one so bad now

In '73 I bought a '64 Barracuda. Went with a local dealer to an auction to help drive back anything he bought. Across the block came the Barracuda, absolutely cherry inside and out, 273 factory 4-speed, that surely burnt a quart of oil just driving onto the block. Told the dealer to buy it, I'd go to $500, got it for $350. I had a 340 stroked to 408 with a six pack and a 9" cutdown for an A body. Originally built for a dirt stockcar but went a different route. Weeks work with the frame, homemade bars, front discs/spindles off the same AAR the 340 came from, and everything fit like a latex glove. I was happy and the girls loved that dropdown trunk panel. I knew I should of kept that car for life-still try to kick my own butt for not doing so-but didn't.

That thing is WICKED! Love it. Mitchell, you're awesome for building your brothers car to 'Monster' status!

You just drove my very first car i owned. The same color without the hood scope. Also I'm 72. Wish I had my cuda back. Even stock It was a fun car to drive.

I had 3 Barracudas and 4 other Valiants of that generation. I was happy, but I'm done with them! When my 1965 273 Barracuda had no rings left, it was sweet to just drop a spare 318 into the hole and gain torque! It got rear-ended less than a week later, but I found a '66 Barracuda (with rust painted over) and this time did it "right" with a 340 (2.02 X-heads), a 727 tranny, 8.75 rear end, etc. A year later the subframe rust got too bad to pass inspection, so all the goodies went into a '66 Valiant Signet, but that rusted out after another year. I finally found a rust-free West Texas '65 Barracuda with a slant 6, but after purchase, the work needed to fit everything into another narrow pre-67 hole with no room near the steering box etc. just didn't seem like fun any more. Fun involved slipping a SBC mill into a Vega and still having room to reach everything.

I have a nicely restored and highly upgraded 65 Cuda. I put a crate 318 withe an Edelbrock 4bbl in it. Every where I drive it around the outskirts of Portland people are drawn to it. Like myself they have not seen another one for decades. Bigger wheels with mags really improve the stance. The torque and power are enough for fun. strong pulling acceleration. Had to put discs on the front for safe stopping.

I like that car! As far as people thinking they're ugly?

Nice seeing this awesome 1965 'Cuda... This reminds me of a '65 Plymouth Valiant I once owned. There are some similar/matched body lines between the two car models. The rear tail lamps and reverse lamps are interchangable or pretty much the same, best I recall. My '65 had the inline six three on the tree manual tranny. Edit: p.s. I should have mentioned how reliable that Valiant was back in the late 1970's and early eighties when I was young and broke, paycheck to paycheck. I did finally pass the Valiant off to a friend that had the time and a bit more money to keep 'Val' daily driving on the highways of my old stomping grounds in the San Francisco Bay Area.

I have not yet seen an engine that, when timed properly with a modified advance curve, didn’t make enough vacuum at idle for the booster to work. The tiny drums and lack of front sway bar are definitely not ideal. The wee tires could be related too. And I have to wonder about your old 273 - I’ve seen them do some pretty impressive tire shredding.
