A 65 Barracuda is a love/hate vehicle to begin with, now you add customization and it pushes the envelope even farther.

We had a 65 Barracuda with a 318 (swapped in place of the 273) with a 4 speed. That little car was a bunch of fun. A 65 Barracuda was probably one of the lightest cars built in 65.

My take on the modifications are: the boxed rockers are likely to cover the exhaust. The fender extensions are to cover the Viper wheels and wider tires. The nose was extended to make room for the V10, and then probably for the front suspension that likely had to be moved forward to clear the V10. Maybe the wing was an after thought? It was not painted to match the car, so it was probably added after the paint was done. He probably would have been better off to forget it, but at the point its at now, I guess another modification doesn't make much difference. The color is also a love/hate thing, some people really like that green.

His car, he gats to do what he wants with it. The modifications appear to be well done, and I'll still bet its fun to drive.
