Vehicle Description
Yes, this is a real-deal mighty 1970 Plymouth 'Cuda AAR with
four-on-the-floor. That means rarity, power, and Mopar beauty all
come together in the most desirable six-pack package around. So
take a look at all the details, but don't admire for too long, or
this one might be gone.
The trim tag tells us this is wearing its correct Vitamin C High
Impact color. But a real-deal AAR like this also has something more
going for it than just the vibrant paint. It's built to be a real
race machine in the Trans-Am series, and so the hood is finished in
matte black to reduce glare. And because the Mopar guys were always
the best at mixing their function with flair, the grille, special
spoiler, and unique strobe full-length stripe all got the
blacked-out treatment, too. These were truly mean machines straight
from the factory with the exclusive lightweight fiberglass hood
with functional scoop, hood pins, and the exhaust tips poking out
just ahead of the rear wheels. And everyone loves the exclusive
badging that came on Dan Gurney's All American Racers (AAR). So
with this much appeal, it's amazing they only produced 2,724
examples for 1970 - its first and only year in production. And this
kind of rarity is exactly why this example was given such a
thorough restoration. We're told this happened possibly 25 years
ago, but the completeness of this car (especially the
undercarriage) makes the work look decades younger. It tells you
that this one has been treated as a show car ever since its
restoration. The panels are exceptionally crisp, and the details
are there, right down to the Goodyear PolyGlas GT tires. You spend
extra time and care with a car like this because it truly is rare.
Not only is it a real-deal AAR, but less than half were four-speeds
(1,120) and less than 100 are currently known to be factory Vitamin
C cars. So you may never again find another example that looks this
sharp again.
The black vinyl interior nicely coordinates with the exterior
accents, and it has a fresh and detailed feeling of a strong
investment in quality. The moment you slip into the high-back
bucket seat, you realize just how much the Plymouth people wanted
to surround the driver. This is a center console car with the
iconic pistol-grip shifter nestled within the contoured design.
Plus, flanking the sporty three-spoke steering wheel are your
controls for heat/defrost and original-style AM/FM radio. But you
really want this because it's a performance machine. And you're
reminded of that the moment you look at Mopar's full round Rallye
gauge package with the important tach prominently in line with the
steering wheel.
When you open the hood, the most important part of the AAR cars is
instantly staring straight back at you. The big, bold orange air
topper announces the triple set of dual carburetors that make up
the powerful six-pack. And this presentation looks correct right
down to the rubber diaphragm that seals this big air intake to the
hood scoop. So while this 340 cubic-inch block is a replacement
motor, it will be up to you to tell that secret. In fact, the motor
was rebuilt to AAR specs, and so you have a fresher powerhouse that
truly runs with gusto. And the numbers-matching four-speed manual
transmission gives you complete control over the power and its
high-octane soundtrack. And as you look at the undercarriage
photos, the cleanliness of this one tells you that all the right
investments have been made throughout this special 'Cuda. While
you're looking down there, you'll also spot great features like the
power front disc brakes and sway bars front & rear. So it's the
kind of car you'll love to drive to show and then put a mirror
under it when you get there.
This is an ultra-rare and desirable High Impact 'Cuda AAR that has
been given all the right investments to keep it looking and running
exceptionally. You already know how special this one is, so you
also know how quickly you need to move to take it home. Call
