    Only thing missing are Red Painted Cragars! Hahahaha
    In those years, they would put red steel wheels. It was so popular that tire manufacturers started putting red lines on performance tires.
    That's why I prefer painting old pitted and rusted Cragars Red instead of fake chrome paint.
    Those centerlines are great also! 😊

    Bought a 65 Barracuda in 1993 just after graduating from college. Just a 225, but put a Clifford Performance header on it and a 2in exhaust. New springs, drums all around, new carpet, springs, and tires on it. Not fast but sounded great and was a great cruiser. Sold it in 2000. Miss it like crazy. Thing was in great shape and was a Northeast car. Love classic Mopars!

    I wanted to put a 8 3/4 in my 67 formula S. I found another 67 with one, had the correct e brake cables and 3.55 suregrip. i did what you did putting a 7 1/4 in its place, traded the whole car for a 85 charger 2.2, dont ask me why. charger had dead cylinder, so now is a charger 2.5. charger guy sold the red 67 fastback to some guy from Seattle, something about his kids staving. This was 20 years ago, the formula is in back of the shop, rearend in the barn. been busy restoring steam engines.

    Thank you for putting another rear end in the Rocket Barracuda. I have been seeing that car on several video and feeling sorry for it! I am really hoping someone will still step up adopt it and bring it back to life. Without an axle, it’s chances would go from slim to zero!

    Maybe once upon a time your donor car had a donor car. That was common in the 1980's. I once paid $500 for a writeoff donor Demon with 340, A727, 8.75 rear (with 3.23 posi) and it all went into my 1966 Barracuda. After a few years in the rust belt, the Demoncuda's powertrain was transplanted again into a 1966 Valiant Signet. That Valiant rusted as well, so it all went to another Chryco A-body fanboy and I had my $500 back.
