I'm looking for some help 1966 Barracuda
I have a 65 formula s, had a 66 before it was destroyed by an old man backing out of a driveway. The early A bodies are great cars to start with, they are modest in value and parts do exist. Half the fun is finding parts. If it is an original car with original motor in very good shape it is worth more kept that way, My 66 was not nor is my 65, I paid about 4 k for my current 65, it needed alot of work and I have spent over 7k on restoration with more to go. I did this because I love early cudas, the 1964 valient/barracuda was available with a V8 six months before anyone heard about mustangs. A true mopar purist like me would say we beat them to the "pony car market"! Places like Carlilse and Mopar meets are great for finding the parts. I have a center console for a 66 cuda, I was going to put it in my 65 as it is bigger and has a place to store stuff. Both of my cudas ended up with 318's in them as it is a better motor for HP than the solid lifter 273, a original car if confirmed should stay that way. There is a guy Galen Govier that can confirm your cars originality based on the numbers on fender tag, motor and build sheet under rear seat if it still is there. My 66 had it and was a 6cyl, the 65 was missing it and I was told the 273 was a relacement motor. I hope to go back to street class drag racing someday and wanted the 318 for more hp and potential. My 66 ran low 14's and was getting ready for 13's but was destroyed. An old car is just like a boat a hole you throw money into, but like boat lovers there does not need to be any reasoning just love of old cars and cruising! Mopar or nocar for me!
