My name is Ron Reagle and I'm 54 years old. My Dad purchased a new 65 Barracuda in October of 1964 when I was a month old. This was our family car growing up. The sound of that 273 Commando backed by a 4 speed is what made me fall in love with cars. I had a 65 Barracuda on the road in 1980 for about a year till I had problems with it and sold it for $400.After many other Mopars including a half dozen Challengers and E-body Cudas I'm back in a 65 Barracuda. This car reminds me of the happiest times of my life and brings a smile to my face every time I drive it!!! It's a factory Formula S 4 speed car with a brand new rebuilt 360 and with a 4:11 posi is a real fun car to drive!!!

Welcome to FABO. Nice Barracuda.
 
Welcome aboard. Nice car, but why'd you put a GM rear end in it?
 
Welcome to FABO!! Beautiful Barracuda!

Like you, my family had a Barracuda (1966). I remember playing in the cargo area and going back and forth between the trunk!
 
Welcome to fabo!
NICE!!
Mines a long ways away,but some day i hope to have mine 1/2 as sharp as that!
 
Great Cuda and Welcome to the Mopar playground! This is a fun place to hangout :thumbsup:
 
Who's headers are you running? 'S' or not, a 360/4sp with 4.1x gears out back will scoot that thing quickly. Welcome aboard!
 
OK it's an 8-3/4 MOPAR rear end with 4:11's
The headers are TTI and FIT perfectly.
Had it to Jerry's curb service Saturday after the Hot Summer Nights cruise in Beaver BUT had ice cream at Brewsters!!!
Changing the gears to 3:55's so I can drive it to the Nats Saturday YES I SAID DRIVE IT!!! ANYONE REMEMBER WE USED TO DRIVE OUR CARS??? I don't own a trailer and even in 1965 cars had windshield wipers!!!
 
He's just "busting your balls" for using a Chevy term for a Mopar Suregrip. :poke:.

Beautiful Barracuda! I've eaten at Jerry's Curb Service many times. Love their steak salad with Jerry's dressing. I live not too far from New Brighton in Butler PA. Welcom!
