1970 Plymouth AAR 'Cuda -100% Documented and Restored -Rare "In
Violet" Color
This 1970 Plymouth AAR 'Cuda is a true high quality find for the
discriminating collector. Meticulously restored to its original
glory and accompanied by full documentation, and having fewer than
10 (ten) miles since the two-year plus restoration was completed,
the condition is better than new. After the restoration was
completed, it was stored in a climate controlled facility in a
hermetically sealed storage bag for the best protection of its
current condition. The restoration is supported with receipts,
photos and video. This AAR 'Cuda features a very high level of
options and the incredibly rare "In Violet" metallic paint
(commonly referred to as "Plum Crazy") accounting for just 7.4% of
the production run. The original Factory Build Sheets are included,
and this one is well sorted and ready for display and judging at
the highest level shows in the country. This car was featured in
the 2022 Detroit Autorama (photo attached).
The VIN, BS23JOB287534, provides documented insight into the car's
origin and specifications. It reveals that it is a Plymouth
Barracuda AAR 'Cuda with a 340 cubic inch TA Engine, 290 horsepower
3-2BBL ("Six Pack") 8-cylinder engine, paired with a 4-speed manual
transmission. The assembly took place at the Dodge Main plant in
Hamtramck, MI, USA on March 24, 1970. The sequence number indicates
that it is the 187,534th vehicle produced. The total number of the
AAR production was just 2,724- of those, it is believed to be one
of 202 in the highly sought after color of In Violet, and of
course, a much smaller number in this documented, high option level
at the time of production with a stock 4-speed manual
transmission.
The engine was meticulously handbuilt by Mo-Par specialist Rich
Koffel of Koffel's Place in Walled Lake, Michigan producing an
eye-popping 385 horse power as shown on the attached Dyno
Sheet.
