1970 Plymouth Cuda

LMC is very proud to offer for sale this 1970 Plymouth ‘Cuda

  The Plymouth Barracuda and sport model ‘Cuda variant had very humble beginnings. Starting out as a redesigned Valiant set to take on Ford’s incredibly popular Mustang. Although it didn’t take off in popularity like the Mustang, it developed a loyal following. In 1970, Plymouth decided to step up its game and while the design/name only lasted until 1974 the ‘Cuda has gone down in history as one of the most attractive and desirable muscle cars ever built. The 1970 model had the new E-body which was shorter and wider so removed all commonality with the Valiant. For engines the 1970 Barracuda/Barracuda Gran Coupe/’Cuda line up had six and eight-cylinder versions ranging from a new 198 cu in six to the mighty 426 Hemi. Just below the Hemi powerplant in terms of horsepower was the 440ci which was considered by most a better engine on the street. The other aspect of the Mopar Muscle cars of this era was the "high impact" colors that were on the order sheet. Mopar also sported some of the best go faster stripes like the Black Hockey Stick on the hind quarter of the ’70 ‘Cuda proudly displaying the engine block such as Hemi in the stick blade. Plymouth advertised these cars as part of their ‘Rapid Transit System’ and suggested “There are two kinds of Barracudas in this world. Those that do… and those that really do”.

  This 1970 Plymouth 'Cuda offered for sale is finished in beautiful Hi-Impact Vitamin “C” Orange exterior paint and a gorgeous black vinyl interior. Underneath the hood, this Cuda has been upgraded with a 440/6 pack engine and Shaker hood, backed by a upgraded 4-speed manual transmission. The sound of the big 440 V-8 motor is incredible through the Hooker Headers and Flowmaster exhaust. Other options include Rallye road wheels with BF Goodrich T/A Radial tires, rally dash, power steering, power front disc brakes, hood hold-down pins and front driving lights. This 1970 Plymouth 'Cuda is a true pleasure to drive on the open road with upgrades and quality usually not found within this price range.

  Overall, this this 1970 Plymouth 'Cuda is a very tasteful overhaul of an ultra-desirable muscle car. This nicely outfitted example would be turn heads on the open road!
