For sale in our Dallas/Fort Worth showroom is a Plum Crazy 1970
Plymouth �Cuda. Breaking all connection with the Valiant, the 1970
Plymouth Barracuda was a complete redesign. Though the �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 �Cuda. This particular example
started life with a 318 CID V8. This is a true factory FC7 Plum
Crazy Purple car, and originally was equipped with a black vinyl
top, roof, and interior. It has undergone a full rotisserie
restoration in December of 2015. 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 1970's. To view this vehicle in
