Early Valiant Barracuda Club- events, tech articles, pictures

Welcome to the car club for those who enjoy the earliest Valiants and Barracudas that Plymouth produced! We would like to welcome to the club those who enjoy the earliest Lancers and Darts that Dodge produced. After all, produced from 1960 through 1966, they are all "narrow" Early A-Body cars and have alot in common.

Membership is free! All you need is an interest in these cars. Owning one is not necessary.

Check out the Tech Center for "nuts and bolts" help with your project. Watch some videos or check out our Dealership Literature in the Media Center. Find the vendors who have the parts for our cars in the Links or spend some time in the Forums. Joining our Mailing List gets you access to over 200 members world wide who will answer any question you may have about your car.

There is alot to see on this site so bookmark it so you can return again and again and use us as your Early A body Reference.

Chrysler Engineering is widely regarded as being ahead of their time, when they designed these cars.
The Plymouth Valiant has one of the largest trunk spaces ever provided in a compact car.
The Plymouth Barracuda's 14.4 square foot glass back window was unlike anything else on the road back in 1964-66. It still is today.
The slant 6 and V8 engines are generally thought of as virtually bullet-proof in reliability, and yet with a reasonable level of fuel economy. Never built to their full potential from the factory, some slant 6 engines are now being used for drag racing!
The TorqueFlight automatic transmission was (and still is) one of the best: world-renowned for its incredibly durability and silky smooth shifting.
The new-for-1962 suspension went nearly unchanged through the last of the Darts and Valiants in 1976. Also ahead of its time, it responds quite well to radial tires and other minor improvements.

Our club meets annually at The All-Chrysler Nationals in Carlisle, PA! Click Here for more info.

Introducing the 1964 to 1966 Barracuda Registry. The goal of our registry is to determine how many of the cars we like exist and document the various options and packages they had.
We are tracking all know cars anywhere from cars that are driven and have complete restorations down through "Works in progress", parts cars and those cars that are gone and never coming back.
As more data is entered more statistics will be made available for all to see. click below to enter the registry

The Club Store has Antenna flags and window decals.

With help from Cafepress, hats, tee shirts, mugs and more!

The All-Chrysler Nationals in Carlisle, PA. is coming sooner than you think. Click HERE for EVBC club info for registering for the show.
We still have many of our new 10th Anniversary dash plaques available. To see them and for ordering info, click HERE.
