      No one knows better than I that these first gen 'cudas had no sales appeal back in 1990. I HAPPENED to OWN a '65 killer fish Mopar that was a white elephant 🐘 in disguise.

    These cars came from the factory with just single exhaust.

    My first car was a hand me down 65' Barracuda. The 65 and 66' barracudas were just fastback Valients. The 64' Mustang was a Falcon with a sporty body. The Camaro was all new from the ground up sitting on a shortened Nova chassis.

    If I'm right, the center stripes are wrong. They should be offset from center towards the passenger side.
    And you'll break the stock 7 3/4 rear end often when drag racing. Upgrade to the 8in. rear. Also go with 14 inch rims. That's an upgrade from the stock 13 inch rims.

    Some people claim these cars came with factory dual exhaust and that's a big No

    The 273 was a modest eight, but it was fortified to a T.

    Nice formula S be careful though because those little cracks in the paint at the base of the A-pillar are signs of the unibody frame twisting it’s common with the 65-66 formula S as they were very light, good luck though

    Actually, dual exhausts were an option with the solid lifter 4bbl Hi Po 273. Ao whoever says otherwise, knows nothing

    Lifters need adjustment and also what's making all that noise? It's too bad those speakers are mounted on the trunk divider makes it usless. I guess listing the price on the web site is out of the question?

      You can find the list price to all of our vehicles by following the link to our website at the bottom of the description.

      were you going to haul some 2x4's in your classic barracuda?🤣 I get it, but nobody is buying this to haul stuff around.

    Very nice. I realize the 273 has mechanical lifters, but sounds like it needs to be adjusted. Does the tach work?

    • @dflf
      @dflf 11 месяцев назад

      I had a 273 yeah they can sound like a typewiter. I wondered about the gauges too

    • @rocksolidmotorsports
      @rocksolidmotorsports  11 месяцев назад +1

      The tachometer and all of the gauges operate just as they should.

    • @middleclassretiree
      @middleclassretiree 9 месяцев назад

      The lifters sound great if they are silent they’re too tight and your losing power

  • @mooosestang
    @mooosestang 11 месяцев назад

    That's a lot for a car that is clearly not perfect. It's missing some trim pieces around the rear window, no? maybe i'm just to picky.
