1970 Plymouth Barracuda Hemicuda on 2040-cars
Laketown, Utah, United States
If you have any questions feel free to email me at: gaynellegsspirer@scotshome.com .
This is a 1970 Barracuda Gran Coupe convertible which has been cloned into a 1971 Hemicuda convertible. It was an
original export car and spent a lot of its life in Canada. There have been a number of these done over the years,
but few have started out life with the Gran Coupe pedigree and upgrades. In addition to this we incorporated a
number of original Mopar Hemi parts from Hemi E-Bodies. This vehicle has the following:
- Original “In Violet” car
- Original White Leather Interior Car With Wood Grain Door & Rear Panel Inserts
- Six-way driver’s seat
- Three speaker dash
- Factory Mopar Cruise Control (Not functioning)
- Restored Rim Blow Steering Wheel
- White Convertible Top
- White Billboards
- Front Canards
- Rear Go Wing Spoiler
- Reverse Dash Light
- Seat Belt Dash Light
- 15 x 8 Magnum 500 Tires With BFG T/A Tires – No wear
- AM FM CD Player In Factory Tape Console Pod
- 4 Spd Console
- Rally Dash with Tach & Correct 4 Switch Panel
- Air Conditioning (not charged)
- 3 Speed Wipers
- 3 Speaker Dash
- Tinted Glass
- Upper Belt Line Trim
- Export car (Canada)
- 4 Speed with Custom Pistol Grip Shifter (Correct Hemi Transmission)
- 472 New Mopar Hemi Crate Motor (Completely gone through by Mopar professionals)
- Exhaust Manifolds and stock exhaust – no headers
- FAST Electronic Fuel Injection with In-Tank Fuel Pump
- Correct Original Hemi “K” Frame
- 1971 Original Hemi Valve Covers
- Shaker Hood With Original Shaker Scoop (not a reproduction)
- Elastomeric Color Keyed Front Bumper
- Original Gilled Front Fenders
- NOS (Not a reproduction) 71 Front Cheese Grater Grille (Color Keyed)
- Fog Lights
- Dana 60 3.54 rear differential
- Power Remote Trunk Release
- Power Front Disc Brakes
- Power Rear Disc brakes
- Power Steering
- Power Windows
- Power Top
- Rear Hemi Leaf Springs
- Auto Dimming / Temp Rear View Mirror
Convertibles came with the beefed up torque boxes so the body is as rigid as an original car. Frame connectors
were also added to reinforce the body twist that is common. Only issue with the car is the power windows run a bit
slow, but when we inquired about this it seems to be the norm for the year. Being an original In Violet with white
top and white interior it's absolutely stunning. As you can see from the pictures, the body is very straight and
carries original Mopar sheet metal with the exception of the shaker hood which is a modified 1971 Barracuda hood.
The fuel injection makes this a fun driving car, but it's the typical elephant motor and wants to be warmed up
before that long cruise. We have had this car in our collection for the past 12 years, but as we have put limited
miles on it since we restored it, it's time to find it a new home. It is a great deal of fun to drive and it still
turns a number of heads as it rumbles down the road.

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.
'71 Plymouth Hemi Cuda Convertible sells for $3.5M [w/video]
Mon, 16 Jun 2014
We're plenty used to seeing classic cars selling for millions of dollars. It's just that they're usually European: Ferraris, Bugattis, Mercedes and the like. There are some rare American exceptions, usually wearing the names Duesenberg or Shelby. But what we have here is the most expensive Chrysler product ever sold at auction.
The vehicle in question is a Plymouth Barracuda - specifically a 1971 Hemi Cuda Convertible, chassis #BS27R1B315367 - that Mecum Auctions just sold after eight solid minutes of feverish bidding for a high bid of $3.5 million at its auction in Seattle, Washington. That figure positively eclipses the $2.2 million paid for a strikingly similar Hemi Cuda (chassis #BS27R1B269588) fetched nearly seven years ago in Scottsdale and another that was the first muscle car to break the million-dollar mark in 2002.
