Pistol Grip 4 Speed, 1970 AAR Plymouth Cuda
BS23 JOB 302127 - AAR “All American Racing” was the name of the factory racing team led by Dan Gurney and
co-driver Swede Savage during the 1970 “Trans Am” racing series. These cars were registered as Trans Am
Cuda’s but the name AAR was used because Pontiac already had naming rights from their Trans Am’s, Thus AAR
Cuda, and T/A Challenger!
This car was built on April 10, 1970 - All 2,724 AAR’s were built between Feb 3, and Apr 17, 1970, and is
registered in the National AAR Registery
This is one of about 146 lemon twist 4 speed AAR's in the registry, and not all of those are numbers matching, so
this is a very rare car!
My dad and I purchased this car in 1980 in the Brookville PA area, and finished the restoration in the summer of
1981. All mechanical and body/paint professionally done. Most of what you see was done in 1981, the car sat and
was used on a very limited basis until the summer of 2013, when I had to freshen up the restoration a little with
new ties and shocks and a few minor things that needed updated, and I use it every chance I get when the sun is
shining!
I have researched the car and have made every attempt to give an accurate portrayal of the car as it sits today. I
just put new tires on it with the letters turned in, so there might be a few pics with white letters, and a few
pics without white letters. I have the build sheet and documents from the restoration and can document the car has
been in our family for 35 years!
Over the past few summers, I have made several road trips with no problems. Very road worthy and strong, yet still
a very nice restored car that always attracts a crowd.

US Marshal's classic muscle car auction officially in the books
Thu, 25 Sep 2014The US Marshal's so-called Blood Muscle Auction was completed earlier this month, with the prestigious nine-car field (two cars were added following Autoblog's initial story, a 1970 Chevrolet Chevelle SS 454 and a rare, mid-restoration 1971 Plymouth Hemi 'Cuda) finding new and hopefully law-abiding owners.
While we'd normally recap the stars of the show, in this particular auction, every car's sale was newsworthy. The full list of sale prices doesn't seem to be published, but according to The New York Times, the auction brought in a total of $2.5 million, or an average of about $277,000 per car.
The king of the contest seems to be a 1970 Plymouth Superbird (above, right), complete with a 426-cubic-inch Hemi V8, which brought home $575,000. The trio of Yenko Chevys, meanwhile, all easily cleared the six-figure mark, with the Yenko Camaro (above, far right) clearing $315,000, the Chevelle crossing the block for $237,500 and the supremely rare - one of just 37 - Yenko Nova (shown above, left) selling for an even $400,000.
SRT belatedly claims Plymouth Prowler as one of its own
Wed, 19 Dec 2012Before Chrysler had Street and Racing Technology, it had Performance Vehicle Operations. What the two entities have in common, before SRT became its own brand, of course, is that each was created to take Chrysler and Dodge (and Plymouth, before it was unceremoniously killed off) vehicles to the next level of style and performance.
We'll leave the question of whether or not the old Plymouth (and later Chrysler) Prowler was ultimately a stylish, performance-oriented car to you, but the boys and girls currently leading the SRT charge at the Pentastar headquarters are keen to accept the retro-rod into the fold.
According to the automaker, all of SRT's current high-performance models owe a debt of gratitude to the old Prowler, due mostly to that car's use of lightweight bits and pieces and innovative construction techniques. If nothing else, the fact that the Prowler's frame is "the largest machined automotive part in history" is pretty cool. Read all the details here.
Barrett-Jackson 2014: 1970 Plymouth Hemi Superbird passes half a million dollars
Sat, 18 Jan 2014The Plymouth Superbird is one of those classic American cars from the muscle car era that has captured the imagination of all sorts of automotive enthusiasts long after its presence on roads and race tracks wore away. It's easy to see why. Where else but in the Swingin' Sixties and Seventies would a car leave the factory with an aerodynamics package that included a pointy beak and a rear spoiler that sat several feet above the rear deck?
The example you see above, which was born in 1970, is one of the finest Superbirds we've ever seen. Combine its complete restoration with its original 426 Hemi engine, and it's no surprise that it managed to bring in a cool half million dollars (plus 10 percent in fees) at Barrett-Jackson. See it yourself in our high-res image gallery above, and scroll down below for the official auction description.
