Worried about buying a car because of depreciation over time? According to statistics, a car loses 10% of its value after being driven off the lot and an additional 15-25% per year. When you purchase a classic car, you can drive it, enjoy it, and potentially make money over time as these cars tend to appreciate in value every year. The 1970 'Cuda is arguably the most iconic and sought after model of Mopar Classic Car Industry being that it's a unique one-year design. Because they are getting harder and harder to find, the value climbs up over time as the demand for such a unique piece of automotive art. Don't miss out on an opportunity like this to own your dream car!

Let No Reserve Classics Put Your Dream Car in Your Driveway Today!

The Plymouth Barracuda was the first pony car, debuting two weeks before the Ford Mustang. It was quickly eclipsed by the Mustang and the Camaro/Firebird due, but would make a name for itself in 1970 when it was available with an engine its competition could only dream of, the Hemi.

Plymouth finally got the performance angle right for 1970, and they went full force into it. The Barracuda was moved over to the E-body platform, which it shared with the new Dodge Challenger. The Barracuda rode on a two inch shorter wheelbase than the similar Dodge Challenger, even though its overall body dimensions were the same.

The performance models were called ‘Cudas and featured five different V8s, the 340, 383, 440, 440+6, and the almighty 426 Hemi. The 440s and the Hemi cars received a special high performance suspension to put all that power to the road. Standard Barracudas came with a flat hood, while ‘Cudas came with standard dual non-functional hood scoops. Optional on all ‘Cudas (and standard on Hemi’s) was a very functional shaker scoop, so named because it attached directly to the engine, and poked up through a hole in the hood and thus “shaked” whenever the engine did!

For the adamant and hardcore classic car enthusiast who only dreams of owning a head-to-toe fully restored classic Mopar that’s packing one hell of a modern drivetrain and suspension, we proudly present to you, the ’70 HEMI ‘Cuda. This is it, ladies and gentlemen, this is truly the best of the best in every which way. This absolutely stunning ‘Cuda is the paragon of the ultimate modern muscle car. From engineering to execution, every nut, bolt, and piece of equipment on this car is the epitome of what a professionally restored car is like.

Attention to detail was certainly a keen characteristic of the museum-quality restoration this ‘Cuda has underwent. It has very little mileage since the restoration and overall when you step inside this ‘Cuda, nothing but chills will run down your back as you crank the key. Is it nostalgia or something else? We’d say it’s a combination of both. The overall factory appeal inside and out gives you the nostalgic feeling initially but as you listen to the car run and feel it grip the pavement, you would swear you’re driving a Dodge Viper.

We shouldn’t even have to point this out but we’re going to anyway…there is absolutely NOTHING like this car in existence. Every characteristic of this car is unique which defines its caliber and value. Truly one of a kind and we are proud to be able to offer this car for sale to anyone who can treasure it as much as we do. There is a lot of information to this car as it contains many documents and receipts kept throughout the restoration. Bear with us as we try to thoroughly explain all of the unique features and characteristics that this car possesses…

• Here is the Vehicle Number Tag (VIN Number) with all of the factory options including the price class decoded below! As you can see, this was designated as a Premium Price Class order meaning this ‘Cuda was considered ‘highly optioned’ by not only us, but Chrysler Corporation themselves!
