1970 Plymouth AAR Cuda Description

Yes, this is a real-deal mighty 1970 Plymouth 'Cuda AAR. That means rarity, power, and Mopar beauty all come together in the most desirable package around. It's even the numbers-matching V8 with Six Pack on top! So take a look at all the details, but don't admire for too long, or this one might be gone.
If you're a Plymouth person, the color is Lemon Twist; if you're a Dodge person, it's Top Banana; and if you're a Mopar fan, you're just excited to see this coupe expertly re-finished in its factory-correct FY1 High Impact color. But a real-deal AAR like this also has something more going for it than just the vibrant paint. It's built to be a real race machine in the Trans-Am series, and so the hood is finished in matte black to reduce glare. And because the Mopar guys were always the best at mixing their function with flair, the grille, special spoiler, and unique strobe full length stripe all got the blacked-out treatment, too. These were truly mean machines straight from the factory with the exclusive lightweight fiberglass hood with functional scoop, hood pins, and the exhaust tips poking out just ahead of the rear wheels. And everyone loves the exclusive badging that came on Dan Gurney's All American Racers (AAR). So with this much appeal it's amazing they only produced around 2,724 examples for 1970 - its first and only year in production. And this kind of rarity is exactly why this example was given such a thorough restoration. The panels are exceptionally crisp, and the details are there, right down to the Goodyear PolyGlas GT tires. So you may never again find another example that looks as day one fresh as this one.
The black vinyl interior nicely coordinates with the exterior accents, and has a fresh and detailed feeling of a strong investment in quality. The moment you slip into the high-back bucket seat, you realize just how much the Plymouth people wanted to surround the driver. This is a center console car with the gear selector perfectly molded into the contoured setup. Plus, flanking the sporty three-spoke steering wheel are your controls for heat/defrost and original-style AM radio. But you really want this because it's a performance machine. And you're reminded of that the moment you look at Mopar's full round Rallye gauge package with the important tach prominently centered with the steering wheel.
Under the hood is Mopar's mighty 340 cubic-inch V8. This is the numbers-matching unit, and the full restoration mean it was professionally rebuilt by a proper speed shop. And we know you instantly noticed the big, bold orange air topper. It announces the upgrade to the triple set of dual carburetors that make up the powerful Six-Pack. This total presentation looks correct right down to the rubber diaphragm that seals this big air intake to the hood scoop. Beneath that is the mighty 340 cubic-inch V8 looking just as bold in the correct orange. In fact, you can really tell they took the time getting this whole engine bay ready to be shown off. And as you look at the undercarriage photos, the cleanliness of this one tells you that all the right investments have been made in this special 'Cuda. While you're looking down there, you'll also spot great features like the front disc brakes and sway bars front & rear. Add in the stout A727 three-speed automatic transmission, power brakes, and power steering, and you've got a stellar classic that's easy to show off everywhere.
The sale comes complete with the owner's manual and a large record of build receipts. This is an ultra-rare and desirable 'Cuda AAR that has been given all the right investments to keep it looking and running exceptionally. You already know how special this one is, so you also know how quickly you need to move to take it home. Call today!!!
