1971 Plymouth Cuda 440/6Pack

LMC is proud to offer for sale this 1971 ‘Cuda.

The Plymouth Barracuda and ‘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 and even offered big block power in the form of the 383 engine. But in 1970, Plymouth decided to step up its game and although the design/name only lasted until 1974. The resulting design has gone down in history as one of the most attractive muscle cars ever built. The 1971 model, one year only quad headlight style, stands out as perhaps the most desirable today.

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. You bet this Red ‘Cuda really can do!

This absolutely stunning Code FE5/Bright Red 1971 Plymouth ‘Cuda was an early build on November 3, 1970. It has been rotisserie restored to factory correct specifications. Lift up the Code N96 Fresh Air Hood or more famously known as the Shaker Hood Scoop to reveal Mopar Muscle. The centerpiece of any great muscle car is the engine, a numbers matching “V” Code 440 6bbl sending power to a numbers matching Torqueflight Heavy Duty Automatic Transmission. One of the truly impressive part of this car must be all the options it is equipped with,including Power Steering, Power Brakes, Dual Exhaust with chrome tips, Tach, Rallye Instrument Cluster, Clock, AM Radio, full Console, Dual Racing Mirrors, Road Lights and Elastomeric Colored front and rear Bumpers. The ‘Cuda interior is the very desirable High-Back Black Leather Bucket Seats. The exterior of this King Fish is a mean looking street muscle with the period correct raised letter Goodyears mounted on the slotted Road Rallye Wheels, the Louvered Rear Window and the Black billboard proudly displaying the 440 power.

The 1971 ‘Cuda has become a favorite amongst collectors and enthusiasts due to its one year only styling and being the last year the big motors were available. Here is a terrific example for the collector or Mopar enthusiast to acquire and enjoy for many years to come.
