For sale in our Dallas/Fort Worth showroom is a Plum Crazy 1970 Plymouth â??Cuda. Breaking all connection with the Valiant, the 1970 Plymouth Barracuda was a complete redesign. Though the â??Cuda shared the same B platform and is similar in appearance to the Challenger, the two vehicles shared no sheet metal. The 1970 Barracuda was available in three trims: the base model Barracuda, the Grand Sport, and the sport oriented â??Cuda. This particular example started life with a 318 CID V8, and painted FC7 Plum Crazy Purple with a black vinyl top, roof, and interior. It has undergone a full rotisserie restoration less than 100 miles ago. During the restoration, the interior, roof, and top were all converted to white vinyl, while a fresh FC7 Plum Crazy paint job was sprayed on. The big change however, was the removal of the anemic 318, and the transplant of the hearty 440 CID that now calls this engine bay home. This 440 has a mild cam and ceramic coated Hooker competition headers. To keep up with the power a 440 Mopar can crank out, a MOPAR 8 3/4's rear end handles the big task of spinning the tires. The factory 8 Track has been replaced with a modern head unit. Other than that, this vehicle just screams of the 1970â??s.
