HIGHLIGHTS:
Chrysler in 1970-71 had a very creative design team that was responsible for the development of these great looking 1970-71 Plymouth Barracuda models. Some key designers were Elwood P. Engel and John Herlitz, who were under the direction of Dick Macadam. Macadam would later become Vice President after Engel retired from Chrysler in 1973.
The 1970-1971 Barracuda models were shorter and wider than others, yet still were amazing looking automobiles. One of the more interesting variations was the mid-year AAR (All-American Racer) Cuda with a six-barrel 340 engine. This model became very popular with the American car culture and still is considered a collectible today.
The Barracuda was changed slightly in 1971, with a new grille and taillights, seat, and trim differences. This would be the only year that the Barracuda would have four headlights (which the Challenger had for all five years of their concurrent run), and the only year of the fender "gills" on the 'Cuda model.
This particular Cuda is completely stock, it comes with a 340 cu in (5. 6 L) big block engine, 290 hp (220 kW) AAR "Six Barrel", with triple 2-barrel carburetors paired with a 3-speed automatic transmission.
DETAILS:
This Cuda was previously completely striped down and fully restored to high quality with custom paintjob, the interior is original and like new. It could use some minor TLC and fresh service as it’s been in storage for a few years.
Overall, this Cuda is extremely clean, well looked after, mechanically sound, solid car, and in great overall condition.
