273 Commando dress up parts
Looking for the air cleaner and valve covers. Also might be interested in the intake manifold, carb and possibly a set of heads.
So I should back up here a bit. The car is a 65 Barracuda from the AZ / CA area that is a really clean "survivor" car with no apparent rust. It has what I believe it 1 repaint in the original light blue. It originally had a 2bbl 273 but over the years it was replaced with an early date code 66 Commando verified with a bore scope. The cam and lifters were replaced last fall. The cam is slightly more aggressive than stock. The new lifters are hydraulic which is what was already in the car. When this work was done, it was determined the heads had different intake bolt sizes. So it's likely a 65-66 and a 67 head on the car. Know knows how that thappened. It was frustrating for the shop but they got it back together. It runs and sounds great (as it did before the work was done, now it's even better). But I'd like to get proper matching heads on the car with the right dress up parts for the commando. Right now it's got an Offy 360 intake manifold with a Quardajet carb so the engine is a mutt that runs strong and sounds great. I'd be interested in any parts to help get to a stock looking Commando. The car is worth it.
