Vehicle Description
Rarely do you ever get to see a classic Mopar muscle machine for
this kind of price. But more than just a mean, red machine, this
1970 Plymouth Barracuda is packing the famous 440 under the hood.
There's plenty of more great details on this car, but read them
quickly before this one is gone.
Plymouth instantly created a new muscle car icon with the
Barracuda's new design in 1970. Since Chrysler traditionally
produced less than the rest of The Big Three, each piece of Mopar
muscle is already a true treasure, and a great way to standout even
amongst these standouts is with a very bold red. The color has
out-for-blood vibrancy that comes from a modern application. Still,
it's not so bold that you miss out on this E-body's little touches,
like the hood scoops or the black accent stripe on the rear that
announces you've got the biggest RB motor in this Barracuda. This
one only gets better as you go through all the details like the
mirror-like chrome bumpers, aggressive rear spoiler, and those
solid Cragar wheel that just radiate shine and power.
The moment you slip into the high-back bucket seat, it feels like
1970 all over again. From the door panels, to the carpets, to the
headliner - everything feel deep, dark, and correct. There's a nice
premium feeling with the desirable center console and the gearshift
sitting boldly in the middle of the wood veneer. The classic Mopar
sports steering wheel feels simple, direct, and effective. It also
gives you a full view of the gauge package with large speedo. But
as you look over the entire interior, it's the addition of an
auxiliary gauge trio and the large tach that really gets your heart
pumping. It reminds you there's something special under the hood
even before you twist the key and hear it roar.
When you see the engine bay, you'll know those rear fender callouts
were not lying. That's a Mopar's famous 440 cubic-inch V8, and it
looks great with the bold orange block and shining valve covers.
Plus, it was rebuilt around 9K miles ago and includes go-fast
goodies such as a bored .60 over kit, cast pistons, 284 camshaft,
Carter AFB four-barrel carburetor, and Edelbrock Performer intake.
These extra performance components are immediately noticeable when
you fire it up. The dual exhaust to creates the kind of ferocious
sound that tells everyone this is the new street king. Making sure
you can harness this power correctly are great features like the
stout A727 Torqueflite three-speed automatic transmission and power
steering.
A turnkey ready big block Mopar that has an unforgettable
presentation. In fact, this one Is already a multiple award winner.
So if you want to be tuning heads tomorrow, you need to call
