Up for bid is a 1965 Barracuda, Formula S, 4 Speed, zero rust. It is currently set up to look like a nostalgia drag car from 1965. The body is in grey primer and all of the graphics have been aged. It has decals in the windows that are appropriate for California in 1965. It is not a numbers matching car, but it does still have all of the Formula S parts! It is not a show car but is a really fun driver. It made the 500 mile trip to Mopars at the Strip last year with no problems 13-14 mpg.

I have owned this car for almost 20 years and it was owned by a friend for about 15 years before that. I know this car well, if you have questions please ask. I even have the build sheet! I also have the original rebuidable (spun bearings) Commando 273 available. I will expect a depost of $500 with 48 hours of winning the auction, and ther remainder within 7 days, prior to pick up or shipping. I have the car listed locally so I reserve the right to cancel the auction prior to it's completion. Please do not ask what the reserve price is, I have put this up for auction because I believe in the process. I would consider trading up or down for a nice 63-66 Dart or Valiant Station wagon.

Questions please ask!On Jan-20-11 at 20:04:27 PST, seller added the following information: A friend just pointed out that the mirrors in the pictures are not the mirrors on the car. I took these pictures a while back and had since changed the mirrors to a larger, round head, chrome, vintage appropriate mirror. Sorry for the confusion.
