Later A bodies are a bit wider
I own a 65 Cuda, but I have never owned a Duster/Demon so I dunno the specifics.
They say there are no such thing as a stupid question. They say there is always the exception that proves the rule. Don't be the exception.

Was late when I posted the Question and forgot to add it is outside body size I am looking at. I know wheel base is shorter on the early A. To me a car cover from a 66 Barracuda Fast Back should fit a Duster but web sites say no. Friend has one but lives far away so hate to have it sent and not fit a 1970 Up Duster, Dart Sport, Demon.

That said. I'm sure a 74 duster car cover will fit over a 66 Barracuda. A form fited California Car Cover for a 66 Barracuda will fit more snug in certain areas. But a 74 Duster will fit pretty good since it's a little bigger everywhere and has a fastback like roofline. I was 100% sure of that but was wondering the pther way around the smaller Cuda cover on the larger Duster

Yes I tried. Do not know what page to look at looked and looked before posting here. Looked at AMA specs ect sill weeding threw it. Thus wanted to ask here. Figured smome one with all the guys here {and few gals} someone would say a duster demom ect is X amount longer wider ect or so close it does not matter

All that said then 70 doesn't have deminsions. Must have been too new of a car. Here are the 71 Duster (same) specs: Here's the 66 Barracuda numbers:

I called the maker of the cover. thet said the 1966 Cuda is made same height and widt. But is made 183.00" long and the Duster is 187.5 but had some extra flannel, left over, heavier than they normally use. From a special order. So made up some in a few lengths with no mirror pockets. AS SEMI CUSTOMS. And would send one at 100 bucks. Was that California car cover or Covercraft?

Since the 1966 Barracuda one was going ti be to short. I was gonna get a Dust Top from California or Covercraft. But the close out store at Covercraft had some soft ones they just made up. I am putting a California outdoor Noah on top it. I have that on now. But would like the indoor. As I do leave the door open at times and we get rain. So I will have a nice soft indoor to keep car dust / dirt free as I can. And if It get bumped into. And the outdoor Cali one. So the guy next to me can blow grass, dirt, and leaves etc. on it. Was 90 bucks plus ship. In a thicker material than Dust Top, think it is flannel? So think that was the best move

I need to go over there and get in for my brothers mustang. The one you mention will fit his car. Did you get it at the cover craft outlet: 21414 Parthenia St Canoga Park, CA 91304 ??

It was the CoverCraft Outlet store they just have one in Oklahoma and one in California! 95% sure that was the address in I think same local in California. Was transferred on phone there to Outlet store from main place. So not 100% sure. Patti the lady that deals in overruns and blemished. Is out on vacation this week and a guy helped me. These Polycotton , Fannel and Noah were not even put up yet. Just in from Factory. They had some Noah in that both sizes. They put them in store and on Ebay As "Blemished" or "Over Runs" panel color may not match, Or special color runs that they have extra material so run it till gone. As over runs. Real savings there but only 30 day warranty. Said no tears ect should be 100% just a Blemish or off color. Or even just a non standard material or color This is the main # 1-800-382-3040 it may not get ya right there as that lady's calls are forwarded while she is out. {ie} ya may get passed around till ya get the right person
