The 1970 Plymouth Barracuda, a pivotal figure in the muscle car
era, underwent a significant redesign this year, marking its
transition to the more powerful E-body platform. This Barracuda
Gran Coupe might be a rare piece of sports history, potentially
linked to the St. Louis Blues special edition cars released during
the 1970 NHL Playoffs. While not fully verifiable, several clues
hint at its prestigious past: its Gran Coupe model, the two-tone
color combo on the trim tag, and a VIN closely aligned with other
383ci Gran Coupes believed to be part of the St. Louis Blues batch.
This Barracuda, now resplendent in In Violet with a black interior,
initially rolled out as a 383 automatic in white with a blue top.
It has since been transformed into a more potent version with a 383
Super Commando V8 engine and a 4-speed manual transmission. The
full restoration is evident in its detailed engine bay and pristine
undercarriage. The interior, formerly blue, has been revamped to a
classic black, providing a striking contrast to the exterior. The
car has an overhead console and the iconic Hurst pistol grip
shifter.
Highlights:
• 383 Super Commando V8 Engine
• 4-Speed Manual Transmission
• In Violet Exterior Color
• Black Vinyl Bucket Seats
• Overhead Console
• Hurst pistol grip shifter
• Full Restoration with Detailed Engine Bay
• Dual Exhaust with FlowMaster Mufflers
• Power Steering

• Potential St. Louis Blues Special Edition Heritage
The 1970 Plymouth Barracuda Gran Coupe is a remarkable example of
American muscle, potentially carrying a slice of sports history.
Its powerful engine, manual transmission, and eye-catching color
make it a standout addition to any collection. This Barracuda is
not just a car; it's a story on wheels.
