Fantastic 39k Original Mile 4 Speed Tor Red AAR 'Cuda

Plymouth Barracuda 1970 Description

This fantastic 39,000 original mile, Tor Red, 4 speed, (rare) factory quick ratio P/S, PDB, Rallye Dash AAR 'Cuda has been in my collection for many years.

It unrestored with the exception of one very high quality repaint in (in 2002) and engine compartment detailing of a superior quality original car. It does have a (REAL) factory warranty replacement block that was really installed under warranty in 1970- with the warranty tag still on the rivet on the side. Blank VIN pad, correct (warranty) date code, real TA casting block confirmed by Galen Govier in writing as the real deal. Original numbers matching transmission and 3.91:1 rear. Of course it also has all of its original factory fender tags, VIN tag, and "hidden" VIN stamps as well. Everything on the engine is original, carburetors (just concours restored by Custom Rebuilt Carbs of NJ), air cleaner, distributor, exhaust manifolds, etc.Original sheetmetal, interior, even original factory installed exhaust (with replacement Chrysler 1975 dated mufflers installed in 1977) still in place. Unobtainable, original near-NOS (not reproduction) tires. All original glass with the exception of the windshield which is a old (period) PPG replacement.

Runs, drives, looks and sounds as new.

Featured on the cover of (and road tested in) Automobile Magazine's July 2006 issue (the two artsy photos posted here are from that article.) Featured on MuscleCar TV May 2007 with yours truly driving for the "MuscleCar Flashback" segment.

Again, other than the repaint and maintenance items the car is an incredibly original 39,000 mile car that feels like it should, something that can never be duplicated with a catalog full of Chinese parts hung around the rusty remains of an original AAR 'Cuda VIN. I think you can see how good this car is in the video witnessed by me throwing it around on a road course. I have the original books, including the warranty book, but have not torn the car apart to locate the Broadcast sheet. I do have some original factory paperwork with the VIN that is "great documentation" according to Galen, who also personally inspected the car a few months ago. I have his written inspection report in hand.

Beyond my regular and admittedly fastidious maintenance I just had the AAR completely gone through including all new ethanol-safe fuel system components, all new wheel cylinders, brake flex hoses, rebuilt front calipers, new master cylinder, rebuilt power booster, re-cored radiator, balanced the driveshaft, balanced tires, new battery with a yellow cap "cheater top," and changed all the fluids. I would not hesitate to hop in and drive this AAR anywhere, although I would encourage putting the formerly-NOS hen's teeth tires on a shelf to preserve them.

I am the author of numerous books on muscle and collector cars including "Million Dollar Muscle Cars" and "The All American Muscle Car." I am also Editor at Large for numerous well-known car magazines. I have a very well-known collection of my own and, again, I have a long (11+ year) history with this fantastic AAR and assure you it will not disappoint. It is certainly not your average AAR- even if there is such a thing! Its color combo, options, and integrity are the reason I love it so much and expect you will as well.

I am happy to answer questions from serious buyers, provide additional photos and discuss the car at length. It is also available for any type of inspection you desire in Scottsdale, Arizona with an appointment any time during this listing.

I am located minutes from Barrett-Jackson (Westworld) and will be there daily, so would be happy to drive the AAR there for inspection by any serious buyer. I am also a panelist at the American Car Collector seminar at B-J on Wednesday the 18th and the Hagerty seminar at the Penske Museum on Thursday the 19th and can drive it to either event as well.

I reserve the right to pull the AAR from the market at any time for any reason, or to sell it elsewhere without notice.

Thank you for your interest in my AAR.

Sincerely,

Colin Comer
