for sale
Price: US $129,950.00
Price: US $129,950.00
This is a stunning 1970 Plymouth AAR Cuda with a numbers
matching J code 340 Six Barrel engine and 4 speed manual transmission. This car includes valuable documentation
such as the original Broadcast Sheet, a letter of accuracy and a Visual
Inspection certificate from Galen’s Registry. This was the only small-block “Six Pack” layout ever released by
Plymouth, featuring a trio of vacuum-secondary Holly 2 Barrel carburetors
capable of meeting literally any demand this engine put on them. It is covered by an air cleaner that can
take fresh are directly from the forward-facing NACA-type duct in the
hood. The redesigned Plymouth Cuda, the
performance variation of the Barracuda model, needed to be built in sufficient
quantity to meet the ACCUS/FIA production ruling. To that end, 2, 724 examples with the AAR
package were created with only 1, 120 of them being 4 speed models like this
one. This one is number 322 in VIN
sequence. Coded A53, the AAR package
featured many pieces not available on any other Cuda models, a hinged
fiberglass hood with special duct-style scoop and hood pins, decklid
flush-mount spoiler, side-exit exhaust with chrome tips, code-U01 15 inch
Goodyear Polyglass tires in offset sizes and the unique E55 340 Six-Barrel engine. Moreover, the AAR models came with
heavy-duty handling equipment, fast ratio steering and better cooling equipment
than other 340-powered versions. This
car, which has been thoroughly refreshed through a rotisserie restoration, features the optional 15 inch Rallye wheels with the E60X15 front tires and
G60X15 rear tires, road lamps, Rallye dash cluster with in-dash tachometer and
clock, Hurst Pistol Grip shifter , front chin spoiler and color coded
mirrors. Coupled with its gorgeous E5
Rallye Red paint, the car features strobe-like black graphics to match the blacked-out
hood and spoilers, the special AAR logo at the rear quarter panels as well as
limited brightwork, resulting in a stunning example of this single-year
production. This car also includes power front disc brakes, collapsible spare
tire and AM radio. The j-code engine is
itself unique, featuring a better block casting and special cylinder heads that
were stock in design but created to allow for much greater porting work. Backed by an A833 4-speed (code D21) and the
3.55:1 ratio with the HD 8 ¾ differential held in place by a spring package
similar to the Hemi models, the 340 AAR was considered by many owners a fun car
to drive under any conditions while its raked stance denoted power. Many of these cars were subsequently driven
with great abandon, resulting in their scarcity today. The odometer shows 8, 749 miles but the
Georgia title odometer is listed as Exempt. This car would make a great
addition to any serious collection of American muscle or production sports-car
models. Please contact Savannah Classic
