My uncles 65 valiant that I’m unfortunately inheriting from him. Believe it’s the 273 with a 4spd. Anyone know how “rare” these cars are ?

Your uncles Valiant is a Barracuda
Looks like a Barracuda to me.
I think there were over 60,000 produced. How many are still around? Who knows
Very cool car. Underrated
The Barracuda was a spinoff of the Valiant to compete with the Mustang, I believe. I have a ‘69 and it still have a valiant logo on the steering wheel.
First generation Barracuda. The 273 is good little engine, 4 speed makes it even better. Before I can give you any further info, are you in the US, or perhaps Canada? I can’t quite make it out on the front plate, and it would make a difference as to how the car was branded and badged.
Underrated rad car. I have a 65 dart with the commando/charger 273 in it.
Your car paired with a 4 speed is really something special. That’s a great car
One of the greatest cars ever. Imo all barracudas were way cooler looking then when they changed them in 70 to
Look like challengers and late 60s Camaros.
Trying to imagine what different wheels and tires would suit this. Nothing too extreme. Feels like it falls short in just that regard. Cool glass house aesthetics.
