Description:


I am selling my 1965 Barracuda due to loss of my job. Car s located near Birmingham Alabama and it is almost completely done and is a really beautiful car. I took a very nice 273 4 speed car and used is to create a Formula S tribute to use all of the parts from my total basket case Formula S that was the donor car for many of the parts. I DID NOT change any vin plates or fender tags.

1965 Plymouth Barracuda Tribute car (some call this a clone, but in my opinion, clones are trying to fake a car that it is not). This car started as a solid southern 1965 Barracuda with very little rust or damage. Car has undergone an extensive restoration staying true to original as best as possible. In the process, I incorporated parts from my basket case 1965 Formula S car (thus being a tribute car, i.e. replacing a real car).
Car was completely disassembled and soda blasted. The minor rust in the passenger quarter (outer skin only) was repaired. all minor scrapes and dings were repaired and car was painted Viper red. All parts were restored or replaced in the assembly. Car runs and drives great.
There are a few things left to do to the car such as install rear shocks (included) and I would rebuild the front end as it still has the original. But I enjoy it just as it is and will possibly complete these projects this summer unless it sells.
Lots of NOS parts were incorporated and over 20K has been spent on this car. I am selling due to the fact that I am broke and underemployed and cannot meet my financial obligations with one child in college and one soon to go. My loss is your gain.
