Almost all the 65 and 66 sheet metal is interchangable. If you put the 65 fenders on the 66, you will have to use the 65 grill and head lights too. The interior will fit in either one, but the patterns are different per year. Sounds like you should think about restoring the 65 and make the 66 the race car. Put the /6 and tranny in the 65. Buy some fiberglass fenders for the 66 and all new suspension that can handle the 360. You will need a tranny for that. The /6 tranny will not work on the small block. One other plus for the 66 race car it the shifter. You can use any 66 to 76? tranny and not worry about special linkage to the shifter.

I have recently traded my BMW for a 1966 barracuda that was rolled on the front, rear glass is still good, one front wheal is bent in, roof buckled up, hood and front fenders are crunched. I have yet to see this car, but it's a 3 on the tree, slant six said to still run and drive up on a trailer. I also have a 1965 barracuda with no power train, and no rear-end, needs rear glass, and interior redone completely. I also have a 1971 360 motor, rebuilt with a few performance parts.
"NOW", I thought maybe I would restore the 1966 barracuda and use the 1965 barracuda as my first race car with the 360 motor. What do you all think? Are most all the body parts interchangeable, what about the interior? What are the differences between the 65, and 66 barracudas?
My email is realdeal69dude2003@xxxxxxxxx please, I could use all the info I can get guys and gals. I need to come up with a good solid plan before I start.
What type of racing would be a good idea for the 1965 and the 360? What would be a good starter. I am getting into this a little late in life, I'm 39. Better late then never I guess huh? I thought maybe just quarter mile since I really have never been a spectator for any sports, always a participant.


Thanks, Don L. in Mid-MO.
