An absolutely exceptional example of this restored and completely rust free original factory 1970 Plymouth Barracuda 2 Door Hardtop fully restored with a date correct Big Block Magnum 440 c.i. 375HP V8 engine custom modified with high performance upgrades and a rebuilt 727 'Torqueflite' automatic transmission with dual exhausts with custom upgrades including:Restoration All Metal, Rotisserie stripped, and painted 2002 Viper BlueEngine - 440/375HP Blueprinted and balancedTransmission - 727 Torqueflight Automatic Transmission with Gearvendor Overdrive Tail assembly with Pistol Grip SlapstickBrakes - Wilwood Disc Brake ADP and Hydro-boost upgradesFront Suspension Oversized Torque BarRear Suspension Bolt in four link suspension (custom)Rear End Assembly - Dana 60 3.54 gearingAir Conditioned - Vintage AirTires and Wheels - Classic Industry Mag Wheels with Michelin Pilot TiresOther Upgrades include Seats and Steering Wheel and too many items to mentionMany of the original parts including seats, extra front grill, steering wheel and others parts included.The 1970 final closed Barracuda ('Cuda) Coupes were marked by a much more aggressive 'ponycar' notchback styling and a much beefier new basic structure than the previous generations sport compact ponycar look. This new basic structure was shared with Dodge's Challenger and although more numerous than the short lived 1970-71 convertibles are still very rare and desirable & highly sought after classic all American muscle cars today! A minor facelift occurred in 1971 with performance declining each year and with Big Blocks cancelled altogether after 1971.The Barracuda entered its third and final generation for 1970 when the distance between the front wheels was upped to comfortably swallow any power plant from a slant six to a Hemi!The fastback coupe bodystyle that originated the Barracuda name was axed with the new 2 Door Hardtop and Convertible 'Cuda now in its place.These classic MOPAR Detroit muscle cars achieved a rare combination of classic lines, outstanding performance, and better than average quality control. Unfortunately styling along with performance deteriorated after 1970 and although the cars continued through the '70's they were never to achieve the cult status and collectible desirability of the 1968-70 generation, especially after the success of the legendary '68 Charger in the Steve McQueen 'Bullitt' movie.This particular car has been professionally repainted in '2002 Viper Blue' color using PPG Basecoat/Clearcoat materials. The rebuilt 440 engine and its associated components are in excellent condition. The engine compartment, firewall and inner fenders and underside of the high performance hood appear all original with no signs of any accidents. The chassis and undercarriage still appear to have the original undercoating and are in exceptional condition with no rust. The panel fit and gaps are all excellent. The chrome bumpers are also in excellent condition.
