Vehicle Detail
Up for auction I have a rust free 1970 Plymouth Cuda (Barracuda). Has a clean title.It started out life as a highly optioned 318 V8, Automatic, Bright Blue Metallic exterior, light package, bucket seats with center console and floor shifter, rear speaker control, power disc brakes, and an 8 ¾ rear end. This car comes with a 4-speed transmission (no bell housing so you can buy one for either a big block or small block), Hurst Pistol Grip Shifter (no handle), and clutch/brake pedal assembly). Also comes with an 8 ¾ suregrip with 4.10 gears, factory power disc front brakes, factory rear sway bar, and a brand new gas tank and sending unit for it along with brand new 3/8 fuel lines. It also comes with all brand new Right Stuff Brake lines. Every brake line from the rear wheel cylinders to the brake master cylinder are in this kit. I bought a set of weld in sub frame connectors as well but those haven’t been welded in yet that I’m including. I have a set of Hooker Super Comp Big block headers that I was planning to use with it so I will include those as well. Has brand new Stainless Steel exhaust tips. New 383 pie tin with a dual snorkel air cleaner. New Mopar Radiator Fan Shroud and I’ve got a HD 7 blade clutch fan. It also comes with almost the entire interior (seats, dash, heater box, heater controls, console, glass, woodgrain steering wheel, seat belts, rear door panels, front armrest pads, and steering column). The seats look original and are in pretty good shape. The dash is cracked so you will want a new dash pad but you can use this one as a core. The front door panels were very chalky so I tossed them but the back ones are in great shape. I planned to get new front ones along with new carpet and a headliner when the car was further along in the restoration process. Comes with all glass except windshield (it had a crack so I got rid of it), NOS Mopar exterior door handles (never even installed still in the mopar box), chrome bumpers (need re-chroming but otherwise usable and straight), taillight and marker lights, and a complete wiring harness (labeled most things on the harness so it’ll be easier to figure out where it all goes during re-assembly). I bought an original NOS 1970 AAR Cuda rear spoiler so I will include that with the sale as well. Now onto a little more about the restoration process so far. I stripped the entire car down to its bare shell and put it on a roll around cart suspended a foot or two in the air. Once it was fully stripped I had all the rust cut away. Then it was media blasted to remove any paint etc. All new metal was welded in. The shop that did the metal repair did an excellent job. Many of the small repair pieces and panels that were put in were all hand-formed. They did an amazing job welding all the new metal in with no overlapping welds. Everything was butt welded so minimal filler would be needed to have a perfect finish. You will not find a more rust free project Cuda out there. The doors, trunk lid, and Cuda hood (twin bubble scoop Cuda hood), are all blocked and sanded and essentially ready for paint. The rest of the car just needs the final prep work of smoothing and sanding/blocking etc to get it ready to paint. This is a great starting point with all the “hard” work of rust repair finished. Buying an already finished car you will never know if its hiding rust somewhere but with this Cuda you know it is rust free. Pick your color, pick your engine, and get this Cuda on the road! It would make a great big block 4 speed car! I tried to take as many pictures as I could but unfortunately ebay limits it to 24 so I had to cut some. If you'd like any additional photos just ask. Thanks for looking!

Additionally I found a power steering sector for the car so it will come with both a manual steering and power steering sector so you can choose which you want to go with. I also took some more detailed pictures to show what more of the parts and body look like. I've got over 12,000 in body work. This is probably one of the most rust free solid starting points for a 1970 Cuda project out there. Painted front valance backside of front fender (rust free now and no dents as you can see) Lower part of fenders were cut out and new metal welded in This fender has not been skim coated and prepped for paint, the other side was skim coated but isn't primed yet. You can see all bad metal was cut out and new metal was welded in. Beautiful doors Rear floor pan Some of the brake parts and spindles etc
