Vehicle Description
1970 Plymouth Hemi Cuda For Sale - Super Track Pack, 4 Speed,
Beautiful Restoration LMC is very proud to offer for sale this 1970
Plymouth Hemi Cuda. The Plymouth Barracuda and sport model �Cuda
variant had very humble beginnings. Starting out as a redesigned
Valiant set to take on Ford's incredibly popular Mustang. Although
it didn't take off in popularity like the Mustang, it developed a
loyal following. In 1970, Plymouth decided to step up its game and
while the design/name only lasted until 1974 the �Cuda has gone
down in history as one of the most attractive and desirable muscle
cars ever built. The 1970 model had the new E-body which was
shorter and wider so removed all commonality with the Valiant. For
engines the 1970 Barracuda/Barracuda Gran Coupe/'Cuda line up had
six and eight-cylinder versions ranging from a new 198 cu in six to
the mighty 426 Hemi. In 1970, as it is today, the 426 Hemi is the
king of the Mopar Big-Block power options that provided 425 angry
horses according to the factory. However, it is well known that
this was a very conservative horsepower listing. The 426 2-4bbl
power plant took on a very mean and nasty look when they can be
seen peering through the famous Shaker Hood. As well the
Hemi-equipped cars received upgraded suspension components and
structural reinforcements to help transfer the power to the road.
The other aspect of the Mopar Muscle cars of this era was the "high
impact" colors that were on the order sheet. Mopar also sported
some of the best go faster stripes like the Black Hockey Stick on
the hind quarter of the '70 �Cuda proudly displaying the engine
block such as Hemi in the stick blade. Plymouth advertised these
cars as part of their �Rapid Transit System' and suggested "There
are two kinds of Barracudas in this world. Those that do... and
those that really do". This factory "R" code 1970 Plymouth HEMI
�Cuda shows beautifully in the extremely rare and sought after Hi
Impact EK2 Vitamin "C" Orange complemented by black hockey stick
stripes and a black bucket seat interior. Powered by its numbers
matching 426ci HEMI engine and numbers matching 4 speed pistol grip
transmission, the car is complete with the Super Track Pak option
with 4.10 ratio Dana 60 axle. Other options on the car include
power brakes, rallye instrument cluster, front buckets seats,
chrome driver mirror, hood pins, sport hood, body mouldings
package, dual exhaust with chrome tips, tachometer, carb fresh air
package, AM radio, maximum cooling package and of course the silver
painted Shaker hood. This car has been subject to a ground up
rotisserie nut and bolt restoration. The undercarriage, engine bay
and exterior have been finished to better than new standards. The
very highly desirable Hi Impact Vitamin "C" paint has been wet
sanded and polished to a show quality standard. The black bucket
seats interior is factory correct and looks outstanding. This �Cuda
has had a very recent detailed �complete visual Inspection by Mopar
expert Galen Govier, confirming the cars authenticity. A factory
HEMI �Cuda is certainly among the most desirable muscle cars of all
time, in a market flooded with re-creation cars, finding a real
true "R" code HEMI �Cuda is a challenge, particularly one which
presents itself so well in such a desirable factory color. All the
right options, beautiful restoration with a numbers matching
elephant under the hood and numbers matching 4 speed pistol grip
transmission make this a unique opportunity. Additional Details:
