Classic Cars, a 1971 Sassy Grass Green Plymouth Barracuda Hemi
Tribute. This car is a stunning tribute to extreme correct
standards to what could be had if you walked into a Plymouth
dealership in 1971 and ordered nearly the full E-body Barracuda
performance menu. This awesome Cuda is to be featured in a future
episode of Gas Monkey's Fast N Loud this current season. It started
life as a 1971 Barracuda two-door hardtop with a 383 CID V-8 engine
and a four-speed manual transmission made in Chrysler's Hamtramck,
Michigan factory in September 1970. It was delivered to Grand
Spaulding Auto Sales in Chicago, Illinois. Highland Automotive in
Highland, New York performed a frame-off nut-and-bolt restoration
on this example in 2004. Re-finished in period-specific Sassy Grass
Green (code FJ6), with black billboard graphics (code V6X), the
car's paint and trim are in excellent condition and exactly what
you would expect from a full professional nut and bolt restoration.
Its glass panels are clear and intact and its lights are clear and
haze-free, including the fog, or road lights. This �Cuda rolls on
Goodyear Polyglas GT tires, F60-15, at all four corners,
surrounding factory alloy wheels with caps and beauty rings. The
car's bodywork is solid and straight, the engine bay is extremely
tidy, the bumpers fit well to the body; the battery is in good
order, as is the trunk. Inaide, the black interior is in excellent
order overall. The high-back front leather bucket seats and rear
bench, carpet, headliner, instrument panel with woodgrain appliqu�s
with full instrumentation, three-spoke, rim-blow wood rimmed
steering wheel, inner door panels, center console and pistol grip
shift lever all look fantastic. Along with the very good mirror
glass, completing the interior is a factory AM/FM stereo. A 426 CID
Hemi V-8 engine with dual four-barrel carburetors making 425
horsepower and was a brand new motor from Mopar performance in 2004
which would cost you around $40k today in the engine alone! The
Hemi is backed by a four-speed manual transmission (code D21) and a
heavy-duty Dana 60 Sure Grip differential (code D91) with a
9.75-inch ring gear. Driver convenience features include power
brakes with front discs and PLENTY of horsepower! The Barracuda was
changed slightly for 1971, with a new grille and taillights, seat,
and trim differences. This would be the only year that the
Barracuda would have four�headlights�(which the Challenger had for
all five years of their concurrent run), and also the only year of
the fender "gills" on the �Cuda model. The 1971 Barracuda engine
options would remain the same as that of the 1970 model, except
that the 340 Six-Barrel was gone, and the four-barrel carbureted
440 V-8 engine was no longer on the option list but could be had
via a special order and perhaps a dozen cars were built with it
installed; otherwise the 440-powered Barracudas had a six-barrel
carburetor setup instead. In 1970 and 1971 only, the�shaker hood,
elastomeric (rubber) colored bumpers, and the Spicer-built�Dana
60�rear axle were available. The elastomeric (rubber) colored
bumpers were available as a front-only option, code A21, or as a
front and rear combination, option code A22. The heavy-duty (and
heavy) Dana 60, with a 9.75-inch ring gear, was standard equipment
with�manual transmissions�and 440 six-barrel and 426 Hemi engines
and was optional on those with the�automatic transmission.
