70 AAR Cuda 340 4 speed V8

1970 Plymouth Barracuda

Stock 1970 AAR ‘Cuda with matching numbers and some documented history. This Rally Red 340 six pack, is a rare find with shifter on the column and bench seats. The car was originally sold at a dealership in Virginia. Original owner(s) are not known but it went to someone in West Virginia, who was restoring the car in 1989-1990. The car was then bought by another owner in Nevada, who did extensive research & decode with a restoration from 1990-1993. We bought the car from a friend acting as a broker for the Nevada owner in Los Angeles, CA in 1993. In 1994, we moved to North Carolina with the car and did a few items on the car that needed repair. The car has been garaged and covered the entire time only taking the car, trailed to Car Shows. The current odometer states 58,146, but it has not been driven distances after the odometer quit working, since this was a trailered vehicle.

The car has been in quite a few cars shows around North Carolina. Always winning 1st place in many Mopar categories and Best of Show in 2 shows due to its rarity and completely stock. Some show trophies and plaques will come with the vehicle.

I have been doing most of the maintenance myself (minor like replacing the water pump) and taking it to a few local mechanics to tune the six pack. The most recent did mechanical work by replacing the fuel tank due to deterioration, rebuilt and tuned the carbs, relacing coolant, transmission fluids, brake lines replacement and general service.

All paperwork included details work done from 1990 until now, with receipts, research documentation, and extra articles. Two sets of keys, not originals, that came with the car.

Summary:

This is a clean great car with a certain rarity having a shifter on the column with Bench seats. This does not take away the fact that its high-performance engine still runs with that deep throatiness that 340 sixpacks have. I have tons of pictures but can provide a video if requested. Having owned an original AAR ‘Cuda back in 1970, this decision is hard for us. This car has been in our family as long as our daughter been alive and we have always referred to it as her car, almost 30 years later. Even though there might be a few things to restore a bit more, there is not a lot, if you wish to keep it a stock show car, that you can have fun with. Our regular mechanic is always excited when we bring it in. Being a Mopar fan, he indicated that the car is worth what we are looking for.

We will only respond to questions from serious bidders. We do not respond to messages that are curiosity only for the car, or any not related to the car.
