May have been from pumping accelerator when trying to start, I don't recall the context, just said he sees it frequently on this model, maybe just noticed a lot of side play and it was air and not gas. I could have had a memory problem on the gas versus air, happens all the time. Agree there's...

I have the same question for my '64 Barracuda, running super rich, let me know how the rebuild or new carb works, or of if I do it first will post. There is a good Uncle Tony's Garage video on the Chinese knock-offs and their shortcomings, specifically the Carter 2-BBl on his '65 Barracuda 273...

Don't know about the quality, but just ordered a set of bosch shoes from this ebay retailer for my '61 Valiant practice car, really reasonable with free shipping: Bosch Brake Shoes for sale | eBay. Anyone know where I can get a grease cap and the straight bar with spring that spans the two...

So much good advice here, really does make your head spin. One very little, but I think effective tip, Harbor Freight has a small telescoping magnet (not the bigger one) that is weak enough to let go on relatively thin bondo'ed areas. Much cheaper than a paint gauge. Check the underside of...

Looking for 14" Rally wheels with 4" circle. Have three but maybe one good beauty ring. Are you selling the take-offs?

Got it, thanks! '65 is close enough except for last year '64 push-button trans.

Thanks for looking, once I get arm off and disassembled will see if I can find a spring somewhere that I can make work. In the mean time I managed to slide the defective wiper arm/blade past the inspector on my state inspection, it does go back and forth with the driver side! Both springs on...

Thanks for the help, I ordered some external springs on Amazon, but they wouldn't fit the dinky classic-style wiper arms. The joint is too close to the mount and there just isn't enough room for the end of the spring, and also too close to the body so would rub, back to square one. I am going...

You will definitely not be able to run wide tires. My '62 Valiant had the adapters and I had to be careful on tire size, and that was with 14" wheels. Here is a pic of my '61 recently picked up in Omaha. It runs and goes into gear, but not drive-able. Next step is ignition switch, master...

Where can I get the service manual for a '64 Barracuda? The mymopar site only goes back to 2005.

Just brought home a ' Just brought home a 64 Barracuda with a bad wiper spring. Still has the original wiper arms, looks like blades are crimped on to end of arm, too, so appears not replaceable. A new blade refill was found for the driver's side (with the good spring) to allow driving in the...

Love the color, inside similar? Send an interior pic. Mine had Oregon plates, last registered in '94 and similar patina.

Here's the '61 Valiant V200 sedan I carried home from Omaha this summer. No enhancements yet other than popping a couple original dog dishes on, and re-installing the shift buttons in the dash. Having a lot of fun freeing up each rusted and stuck part after 30 years of sitting. So far its the...

i got it home yesterday and messed with it some today. First order of business (same as my '62) was to free up the rusted hood hinges. Its a 170 cast iron (I had the alum block in the '62 my grandparents gave me in '74, major head gasket problems there.) Could move the crank by hand when...

Leaving for Omaha tomorrow to pick this one up (they had the model year wrong): 1962 plymouth valiant for sale by owner - Carter Lake, IA - craigslist Floor pans are rusted and engine doesn't turn over but the car appears complete, body panels are still solid, and price was right. It was a...

Check out this video on a Barracuda:

Thanks for the links, had not seen them. Had looked for your grandad after viewing him winning Carlisle in 2015 on youtube, and found out about the cancer through some members here. Would really have loved to talk to him, the '62 he restored and improved is just about like what I would like to...

Yes, that's correct. I must have clicked on an earlier post link, but it did indicate closed and another link established directly by Steve. Another way to tell if you're at the right place: the current gofundme has over $320K and growing daily (goal of $100K), the first one got to just above...

Love it, enjoy the journey. I'm starting one in much worse shape because I need something to keep me occupied as well as for the the nostalgia - same as my first car the family gave me. Would jump on one of those early Barracudas if the right deal came along. Also in San Antonio so hope to...

There's a new link for Steve Magnante official donations (his gofundme): Donate to Official Steve Magnante Go Fund Me, organized by Steve Magnante

Pretty cool, like the black color, too. They really did a lot to make the Lancer "upscale" when it launched in '61, the dash design is similar to the more expensive B and C bodies, but by '62 they pretty much matched the Valiant. When I was driving my '62 Valiant in the 70's thought the...

Saw what is evidently a '61 Lancer dash on a car for sale today (was advertised as a '65 Dodge Valiant). Had a completely different instrument panel from the 60-61 Valiants and '62 Valiant and Lancer, with horizontal row of buttons and wide rectangular speedo. Had never seen this one off, one...

So many pics posted that I can't see them all, download too slow. Possible to post a link to seller's ad with pics? Anyone heard of a four speed torque flight with overdrive? Sounds like more salesman babble. Looked at a '62 Valiant on Craigslist in N. Vancouver but distance and potential...

Are the chinese making fenders, IDK? I know the old A bodies are super popular in South America and Mexico, as well. Labor is a big issue in the US, seems like one of these companies could find a mfr overseas if not already doing that, would require some quality control.

Have to agree parts cost and shipping are getting "out of sight". I just paid $900 to ship the two back seat parts from a '62 Signet cross-country, and they fit in two std bicycle cartons. One additional source of cheap parts not specifically mentioned is FB Marketplace. Its a real hassle...

I would like to know if anyone successfully resleeved one. We used to do this with Chevy Vegas due to same head gasket issues, original engine would last up to 50K miles, no idea how long the re-sleeved engines lasted. Might be OK for race or seldom drivers.

Beauty is in the eye of the beholder. The Lancer with its pointed hood and bumper, and disjointed grille with floating headlights just never appealed to me. I always liked the prominent shield-shaped grille of the Valiant, similar to the big Chryslers of that era, and even the 300 of more...

I froze your video, looks like 55,931 which has got to be accurate miles with an aluminum block still in it. Probably what parked it if not the rust. No idea what the parts are worth, not a lot of commonality with Valiant body and dash parts, while they would fit have a different appearance...

Compared to the Valiant, those lancers had a face only a mother could love! Some like 'em though. I think Wildcat Auto Salvage in Sandy, OR has 4 or 5 project lancers on their web site for sale. Going to stop by next week if they are open, heard owners may be gone to Mexico.
