Plymouth Barracuda Formula S Tribute (1965)
for sale

Price: US $0.99

Description:

Up for your bidding pleasure is my 1965 Barracuda Formula S Tribute Car. Car is 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.
The Good:
*99% Rust free car to start with, only rust a small spot behind the drivers seat and there were a few small perforations in the outer passenger side quarter skin due to southern dirt roads as this was a Georgia/Alabama car it's whole life.
*painted Viper Red with matte black Barracuda Sport Stripe (correct dimension) and interior metals are painted to match
*All New Black New Legendary interior-seats and door panels
*New headliner
*New Visors
*All new ACC Carpet
*low mileage was showing on the odometer before restoration (~35K)
*correct 65 Formula S intake manifold and Carter AFB 3853S
*NOS Formula S emblems
*Lots of NOS stuff under the hood
*Commando wrinkle finish valve covers
*Commando chrome breather
*Commando chrome pcv and and oil filler cap
*two Original side view mirrors
*Faux original Green Cap battery topper and MOPAR decal
*all trim is complete
*I can include the New Cragars and BFG's that have less than 100 mile on them or I can include the original 14 inch wide rims with correct Formula S 14 inch wheel covers that are in really nice shape
*NOS Formula S/Commando 273 resonator
*all new brakes, hardware, master cylinder, soft line, s and new wheel cylinders and parking brakes.
The Bad:
*Not a true Commando engine, but it ran strong before the work began (donor car motor was locked up)
*I am including the Commando Sway Bar and Lower control arms with correct tabs. I didn't install them because the alignment was dead on and I don't want to mess with it for now. Also, I recommend a front end rebuild with new bushings and ball joints.
*Needs rear axle bearings as i can hear them hum a bit.
*Needs to be fine tuned, runs well, just fussy at first start. I will probably have this worked out.
*Someone before me changed the ball and trunion to a slip yoke.
*Fender tag is currently missing
*Tach is not registering, other gauges may not be accurate.
The Ugly:
There is NO ugly here!!
*Car is registered in my name but since it is a Pre '75 Alabama car THERE IS NO TITLE, bill of sale only.
I am currently finishing the small details that include:
*install review mirror
*small carpet details(in back area)
*new windshield washer pump and tee to hook up windshield washer
*install the rare stainless steel carpet guard (included)
*hook up heater cables
*repair driver’s side fresh air vent door
*new glovebox liner
*install new factory warranty card in glovebox ( I will provide it as soon as I have it)
*new seat belts
*clean and detail the undercarriage
*Remember this is a 50 year old car, while not perfect, it is a very good specimen!
I have sunk a lot of money and time into this project and I will never get all of that back.
I am asking $18, 500 locally and will entertain all offers. Reserve is below that. Car is beautiful!
I think this would make an incredible Father/Son project car as it has a handful of little things to do almost all of which will not take it off of the road so you can enjoy driving it and teaching a son to turn wrenches and appreciate the old cars!
If you need more info, Please ask questions!
I will help with the loading if car is to be shipped.
