Is the prop rod in your car so rusty it won't move or is it missing? Are you tired of the trunk lid falling on your head or using a mop handle to hold the lid up? If so, here is the solution to your problems. This is a new replacement trunk lid prop rod kit for the 1964-66 Barracuda which had the spring loaded rod. This kit is NOT intended for the early 1964 Barracuda that had a different slider mechanism found on the passenger side of the vehicle versus the drivers side. For those cars or for any Barracuda's that do not have the "S" holes already in the trunk lid can retro fit our "B" type trunk lid prop kit (See Below). The strut selected for this application is properly sized to provide the correct lift force, lift height and compressed length. A dampened strut is used in this application to provide for reduced stress on the 60+ year old trunk lid hinges. The trunk lid must be raised by hand, with the dampened strut, but will stay open in any position.
