'64-'64 1/2 would have technically been a Valiant Barracuda, no?

No.

The Valiant was a separate marque in 1960. It became a Plymouth in 1961. I believe it may have been exported as its own brand later than that, but for the US, it was only the first Valiants.

The early Barracudas do have a few Valiant bits and pieces. For example, my '65 has a radio marked "Valiant" and there is a Valiant type "V" insignia on the rear window chrome and the steering wheel center.

The Plymouth was implied. My wife's 64 1/4 Barracuda was titled and registered as a Plymouth Valiant Barracuda.

Do you know how many Sport Fury IIIs that said so on the title???

 

[67Monaco]

Dunno. Don't care honestly.

All I know is I've had this argument with her and her father to know, in 64-65, it wasn't just a Barracuda. No, it was a Valiant Barracuda.

My car is registered as a 1965 Plynouth Barracuda.

Yes, it says "Plynouth" on the registration. The guy typing at the NYS DMV was having a bad day when I registered it.

i own a 65 barracuda. the letters on the trunk are Plymouth. its a U S model. the Canadian models had valiant on the trunk. the dashes are also different. so a plymouth valiant/ barracuda is probably correct.

And all of you missed that I called it a Cuda. I usually get beat up when I call one of my early A body Barracudas a Cuda. Yep I’ve been told they where originally referred to & advertised as a “Valiant “ Barracuda. I’ve had people send me proof. Links to YouTube videos of old advertising etc. IDK , most people just call em Barracudas. I have old pics of drag racing versions where just Cuda was painted on the side.

 

[livininharrow]

didn't see where you called it a cuda.

 

[mr. fix it]

It kind of reminds me of a bath towel rack....

 

[livininharrow]

it serves two purposes. one is to hold up the back seat and the most important one . my girlfriend wraps her toes around it at the drive in . it keeps her from being pushed into the trunk area.
