For Sale: 1970 Plymouth Convertible in Green Brook, New Jersey

Vehicle Description

The Plymouth Barracuda was the first pony car, debuting two weeks before the Ford Mustang. It was quickly eclipsed by the Mustang and the Camaro/Firebird due, but would make a name for itself in 1970 when it was available with an engine its competition could only dream of, the Hemi.

Plymouth finally got the performance angle right for 1970, and they went full force into it. The Barracuda was moved over to the E-body platform, which it shared with the new Dodge Challenger. The Barracuda rode on a two inch shorter wheelbase than the similar Dodge Challenger, even though its overall body dimensions were the same.

The performance models were called ‘Cudas and featured five different V8s, the 340, 383, 440, 440+6, and the almighty 426 Hemi. The 440s and the Hemi cars received a special high performance suspension to put all that power to the road. Standard Barracudas came with a flat hood, while ‘Cudas came with standard dual non-functional hood scoops. Optional on all ‘Cudas (and standard on Hemi’s) was a very functional shaker scoop, so named because it attached directly to the engine, and poked up through a hole in the hood and thus “shaked” whenever the engine did!

  • Fully Restored Engine Compartment from Head-to-Toe with a overall factory appeal (look a bit closer and it's the farthest thing from 'factory'!!)
  • Entire engine compartment has been fully painted the same basecoat-clearcoat as the exterior body color before the drivetrain was installed
  • Powered by a Modern Fuel Injected SRT8 Chrysler Corp 6.1L HEMI that is factory spec'd at 425 horsepower and 420 lb/ft of torque, but was upgraded to be pushing out around 500 hp and about the same in torque!
