Cuda 1970 Plymouth Cuda 383 4 Speed Barracuda

Plymouth Other 1970 Description

I have known about this car since 1983 sitting unusedin a garage in Staten Island NY. I was able to purchase it 2 years ago due to the passing of the owner. It`s a 383 4 speed car.Original numbers matching engine & trans,Originally B5 Blue. Built with Power steering with cooler, ower disc brakes, M FM Stereo, :91 sure grip axle, oad lamps, 6 inch radiator, onsole, ood wheel. vinyl top. Car is very solid not all rotted like most 70 Cuda`s. New carpet, ackage tray, ront & rear bumpers, ear valance, ccelerator cable, uter door handles, ear shocks, oltage regulator, uel pump, eater & radiator hoses, ide gill moldings,rear brake cylinders and brake lines,engine pipes, ebuilt the front brake calipers and installed new front brake pads & new frontbrake hoses.Front end checks out good, all joints etc. Front bucket seats recovered with new cushions. All the work was done by me except the recovering of the front bucket seats. Shows 40K miles but I can`t confirm that, ue to it`s long hibernation I believe the mileage to be correct.Has L60 14`s on back and F 70 14 polyglas tires with good rubber but the front tiresare out of round from sitting so long theycreate a front end shimmy around 40 MPH. These tires have been on the car since the early 80`s. Car starts right up and runs great, o engine, rans or rear end noises, lutch is good.After sitting unused for 3 decades I changed the points & condenser and it fired right up. Someone fiber glassed the trunk floor, f you open the trunk and look up from under the car you can see light thru several small pin holes. Roadlamps and under hood wiring are gone but the switch and relay are under the dash. Tach does not work accurately. Rear seat belts were found under the seat with the original factory bags still attached. Most of the build sheet was found above the glove box. Numbers on left side of block 11 20 69, nder the date is 2468130-8 . Right side of block & transhas the correctvin numbers. Paint is driver quality with some runs in the hood. Black vinyl top looks to be the original and is in good condition. Wood wheel was covered so it looks new. Dash has some small cracks by the center speaker and on the end by the steering wheel. Head liner has a small mouse hole that is covered by the right sun visor Other than the tach everything works as it should. I have many original parts from the car that were replaced, ront & rear bumpers,master cylinder, tarter, utside door handlesand I believe the original heater hoses,I think the car also has the original ignition wires and the back half of the exhaust systemstill on it. The 3:91 rear end gears were changed at some point to 3:23`s or 3:31`s. Car was built June 11, 970. You just don`t find unmolested muscle cars like this very often. This car is being sold as is where is, uyer is responsible for all shipping and arrangements. I reserve the right to end this auction at any time, he car is for sale locally. Haggerty`s Valuation Guide has this car @ 30K in fair condition.

Someone asked about the floors and if the body panels have bondo, don`t see anybut it`s possible. The floors are very good except for when I replaced the carpet a small oval shaped patch was welded in the driver side front that can be seen if you look in the wheel well it`s about the size of maybe 3 quarters in a row. And the right quarter penal has some bubbling on the outside and the inner drop down has the bottom missing, ou can see that in the auction pics. Thanks KC. I tried to answer the question and post a pic thru e bay`s questions but e bay somehow screwed it up.

I have had several questions about the rear end, he sure grip is still in place just the gear ratio was changed to a more driver friendly ratio.
