1971 Plymouth Barracuda Description

1971 Plymouth 'Cuda 340, 4spd, Factor Shaker, Billboards, Concours Restored!

Most everyone who wants a 'Cuda, wants one with a factory installed N96 Shakerhood. Most everyone who wants a '71 'Cuda, wants one with Billboard side graphics. Very, very few 1971 Plymouth 'Cuda's were actually ordered with the "Billboard" stripe. This 340 powered 4spd is factory equipped with both a factory Shakerhood AND Billboard stripe. It has also been finely, Concours restored and formally inspected by renown Mopar Judge and Marque expert, Dave Wise. The engine block is a vintage 340, but not original to the car. Correct distributor, alternator, exhaust manifold, and Carter Thermoquad carburetor #4973 dated 350 day of 1971. According to the inspection, the body VINs on the radiator support, cowl, and dash are all original and intact. Overall, Mr. Wise's report rates the car as a 1.4, 1.0 being the highest. The car is restored as factory equipped, confirmed by both the original fender tag and original broadcast sheet.
