Description

FAA WATERCOLOR MARK DOES NOT APPEAR ON FINAL SALES
While recently attending a Classic Car Show sponsored by the Wounded Warrior Project in West Islip, New York on Long Island I came across this mint looking 1970 Plymouth Barracuda one of my favorite cars growing up as a kid. I was ten when this model came out and it still looked like it had just rolled off the assembly line when I was looking it over and taking photos of it. While I was photographing this great looking car a gentleman came up to me and asked me if there was anything I would like to know about the car, he then informed me that he was the original owner of this spectacular looking car from 1970. Said he takes a lot of pride in keeping the car in the same shape it was in back in 1970.
For more information on this classic 1970 Plymouth Barracuda, please feel free to read the information below;
The redesign for the 1970 Barracuda removed all its previous commonality with the Valiant. The original fastback design was deleted from the line and the Barracuda now consisted of coupe and convertible models. The all-new model, styled by John E. Herlitz, was built on a shorter, wider version of Chrysler's existing B platform, called the E-body.Sharing this platform was the newly launched Dodge Challenger; however no sheet metal interchanged between the two cars, and the Challenger, at 110 inches (2,800 mm), had a wheelbase that was 2 inches (51 mm) longer than the Barracuda.
The E-body Barracuda was now "able to shake the stigma of 'economy car'." Three versions were offered for 1970 and 1971: the base Barracuda (BH), the luxury oriented Gran Coupe (BP), and the sport model 'Cuda (BS). For one year (1971), there also was the Barracuda Coupe, a low-end model which (like other Coupe series Chrysler Corp. offered that year) had a fixed rear passenger window and minor B pillar instead of roll-down rear passenger windows.The high-performance models were marketed as 'Cuda deriving from the 1969 option. The E-body's engine bay was larger than that of the previous A-body, facilitating the release of Chrysler's 426 cu in (7.0 L) Hemi for the regular retail market.
1970 Plymouth Hemi 'Cuda, raced by the Chrysler France works team in 1970-1973.
For 1970 and 1971, the Barracuda and Barracuda Gran Coupe had two six-cylinder engines available � a new 198 cu in (3.2 L) version of the slant-6, and the 225 � as well as three different V8s: the 318ci, the 383ci with two-barrel carburetor and single exhaust, and the 383ci with four-barrel carburetor and dual exhaust 330 hp (250 kW) SAE gross. The Cuda had the 383ci 335 hp (250 kW) SAE gross (same as Dodge's 383 Magnum) as the standard engine. It also had the 440ci four-barrel Super Commando, the 440ci six-barrel Super Commando Six Pak, and the 426ci Hemi.[12] The 440- and Hemi-equipped cars received upgraded suspension components and structural reinforcements to help transfer the power to the road.
In 1970 the big-block power options offered to the customer were:
approximately 335 hp (250 kW) SAE net in the high performance 383-4V,
approximately 375 hp (280 kW) SAE net in the 440-4V,
approximately 390 hp (290 kW) SAE net in the 440-6V, and
approximately 425 hp (317 kW) SAE net in the 426-8V.
Other Barracuda options included decal sets, hood modifications, and some unusual "high impact" colors such as "Lime Light", "Bahama Yellow", "Tor Red", "Lemon Twist", "Curious Yellow", "Vitamin C", "In-Violet", "Sassy Grass" and "Moulin Rouge".Swede Savage and Dan Gurney raced identical factory-sponsored AAR (All American Racers) 'Cudas in the 1970 Trans-Am Series. The cars qualified for three pole positions but did not win any Trans-Am races; the highest finish was second at Road America. A street version of the AAR 'Cuda was produced, powered by the 340 cu in (5.6 L) "Six Pack" (three two-barrel carburetors) engine. Four 1970 Hemi 'Cudas were also successfully raced by Chrysler France, from 1970 until 1973.The works team director Henr� Chemin piloted the first car, and then sold it on to friend and privateer J. F. Mas who went on to race it for another two years. This Hemi 'Cuda won four French Group 1 class championships, three on track and one in hill-climbing.
