Very Nice, Rust-Free fender for a Valiant or Barracuda. Minor differences in those years that only a true Mopar freak can point out, but great for a restoration of a fun driver - and without Rust or repair. I used the mate on my 64 Barracuda, and am trying to clear out any A-Body parts I still harbor. Most were directed at early Barracudas, but ask if you have a need (I may just have it, but am not a business, just another Mopar freak that is overloaded).

Fender is near Akron, Ohio and can be picked up there, or shipped on your dime. Asking $300 plus any shipping costs...

I have a 64 fender on my 63 Valiant. They are the same except the 64 has a piece of sheetmetal spot welded to the headlight bucket. I drilled out the spot welds and removed that piece. I'd guess you could run a 63 fender on a 64 by removing the 64 piece from the old 64 fender and spot welding it onto the 63 fender. Externally, they look the same.

The hairpin on the 64-65 Barracudas and 65 Valiants is noticeably smaller than the 63-64 Valiants, so the fender for sale would not look correct on a 64-5 Barracuda or 65 Valiant, or match the stock fender on the other side.
 
You are of course, correct, but we both know that knowledge of 63/64/65/66 Valiant and Barracudas is limited to a small number that declines every year as we age. I would venture that 98 or 99 out of a 100 would not notice the difference, and I never had anyone, Mopar or otherwise, note the small difference on my car.

Nice for "purists" to know, but for someone like myself in the Midwest "Rust Belt", any solid 63/64/65 A-body fender is to be treasured.
