It can be argued that Plymouth beat Ford to the pony car market with its Valiant-based Barracuda in 1964. For 1970, Plymouth and Dodge introduced the all-new Barracuda and Challenger, with a dramatic interpretation of the long hood, short tail styling theme. Their styling, led by John Herlitz, was an immediate hit, and performance fans quickly noticed that the new E-bodies could easily accommodate the entire Chrysler engine range from the Slant Six to the Street Hemi.
Professionally restored to a very high standard; this Plymouth stands proud with a 440-cid, 390-hp V-8 that is fueled by the rare Six-Pack carburetion setup. Backing the engine is an automatic transmission. Options found in the highly detailed engine bay include power steering and power brakes. The light blue exterior is ornamented with factory Rallye steel wheels, foglamps, 440 badging, trunk-mounted spoiler, vinyl roof, induction hood and through-bumper exhaust. The interior has not been overlooked and features vinyl upholstery, front bucket seats, woodgrain center console; and `Cuda badging and floor mats.
