1970 Plymouth ’Cuda 340 Coupe Custom

Description

OFFERED WITHOUT RESERVE

The Plymouth Barracuda joined the rising muscle car segment in 1964. Initially based on the Plymouth Valiant, it featured a distinctive fastback design with a large wraparound rear window, setting it apart from other cars of the era. By 1967, the Barracuda featured a more aggressive and sporty design and introduced more powerful engine options.

The muscle machine’s most iconic iteration arrived with the third generation in 1970. Built on Chrysler’s E-body platform, the Barracuda featured a wider, more muscular stance and a range of high-performance engines. Trim levels included the base model, luxurious Gran Coupe, and high-performance ’Cuda.

It was easy to notice the difference in these newer models, and Plymouth advertising said as much. “Only the name is the same ... [Barracuda is the] most changed car in America. Strong. Low. Wide. Maneuverable. Fun.” The 1970 Barracuda was the top seller among Plymouth E-Body models, with 55,499 sold. The 340 cu-in V8 engine was a popular choice among enthusiasts, offering a balance of performance with relatively lighter weight compared to the big block engines available.
