im not sure how much was chopped out he bought it like that,,but it takes some getting use to ,, i perfer the 37 stock roof,,

Fstfish66, do you have any more pix of your Barracuda you could post? I'd like to see your 40 as well.

I generally like the stock roofline on that era better than a chop myself,but that one looks right.Almost have to look twice to see it's chopped!

the chop is growing on me,,its kool riding it in chopped,,,but in my opinion hard to beat a stock 37 ply/dodge coupe

more pics

40 current interior,,,after i get it back running,,i plan on going to more modern buckets,console and maybe a column shift,make a little more floor room,,,need to find buckets that will fit and not touch each other,,and allow for somne sort of console/arm rest type deal. ide like to find out how the modern chrysler follr shifts work,cable or linkage if i keep a floor shift i may use a pacifica console and shifter

Thanks for the pix! Both cars looks great, I love the color on the 40, that is one cool hot rod...the lil Red Ram Hemi is perfect for it.

The Cuda looks bad azz! I had a 65 and still would like to get another one and pro street it like you have done to the 66. I bet it would run some good times...do you race it?

i was trying to find a 65 shell when i did the 66,, the 66 sorta fell in to my lap, was a rust free almost shell sitting on a cotton farm in mississippi,,puled it home back in 1984 thanksgiving,,,it was orignally to be a street strip car,,but i dont have the time to race it and repair it,,or the bucks l ol,,,so i just cruise nite and car shows type deal,,i did make a pass once,, fuel system wasnt big enough to carry it the full 1/4,carbs ran out of gas motor leaned out blew the blower gasket out,,car was never hooked up either spinning in to 3rd gear,,still went across the finish line at 109 MPH,, i think it wil run a mid 10 second pass on pump gas in street trim,, the 40 is 1988 dodge daytona blue,,thanks for asking

When i bought my 65 the dealer had a 66 formula S also and I test drove both cars. Both cars had the 273 Commando but the 65 was'nt a formula S. Only thing about the 66( and it was Black too!). it was an auto. The 65 was a stick(just a 3 on the tree)...but when I floored it in 1st gear I was sold! The 66 was clearly a nicer car but i had to have a stick...i'm an old geezer and autos were'nt too cool back then.(1969) I always wanted to put a 4 speed in it but college and other stuff($$$) got in the way. Now I have 67 Cuda drag car work in progress, but still want a 65 that i can drive and criuse with like you do with yours. ahhh, maybe soneday...

my first car was 64 barracuda 273 2 bbl push button auto,,i just love the 64/65 body lines better then the 66,in my opinion the 66 is the uglyest barracuda of the 10 year name plate,,but it doesnt look to bad modified,,and i couldnt pass up the deal i got on a rust free body,,,it would fihure tho,, when i had the 66 in the chassis shop being tubbed, i found a 65 at the mopar nats rolling tubed car,,all lexan glass and fiber glass hood and trunk lid,,i would of had to change it to street glass,,but 4500.00 delivered to my house,,i still regret that deal but it was a mini tub not a ful tubbed back half,,,maybe in my next life time

Nice cars Fastfish. Here's my '35 Plymouth (all Mopar).

nice 35 they call that a trunk back correct ?
