1970 DODGE BARRACUDA "CUDA"Southern U. S. Car that has been off the road for approx 15 years. It was purchased by a collector and added to his stash. But he has decided to finally part with some of his collection. This car has surface rust on it but is the farm. floors ect are all super solid and would make an excellent candidate for a restoration. These cars are sky rocketing in value. No engine or transmission is included in the sale. I can assist with the shipping of this car.

The redesign for the 1970 Barracuda removed all its previous commonality with the Valiant. The original fastback design was deleted from the line and the Barracuda now consisted of coupe and convertible models. The all-new model. styled by john E Herlitz. was built on a shorter. wider version of Chrysler's existing B platform . called the  E-Body.  Sharing this platform was the newly launched Dodge Challenger; however no sheet metal interchanged between the two cars. and the Challenger. at 110 inches (2. 00 mm). had a wheelbase that was 2 inches (51 mm) longer than the Barracuda.

The E-body Barracuda was now "able to shake the stigma of 'economy car.  Three versions were offered for 1970 and 1971: the base Barracuda (BH). the luxury oriented Gran Coupe (BP). and the sport model 'Cuda (BS).  For one year (1971). there also was the Barracuda Coupe. a low-end model which (like other Coupe series Chrysler Corp. offered that year) had a fixed rear passenger window and minor B pillar instead of roll-down rear passenger windows.  The high-performance models were marketed as 'Cuda deriving from the 1969 option. The E-body's engine bay was larger than that of the previous A-body. facilitating the release of Chrysler's 426 cu in (7. 0 L) Hemi for the regular retail market.

For 1970 and 1971. the Barracuda and Barracuda Gran Coupe had two six-cylinder engines available — a new 198 cu in (3. 2 L) version of the slant-6. and the 225 — as well as three different V8s: the 318ci. the 383ci with two-barrel carburetor and single exhaust. and the 383ci with four-barrel carburetor and dual exhaust 330 hp (250 kW) SAE gross. The Cuda had the 383ci 335 hp (250 kW) SAE gross (same as Dodge's 383 Magnum) as the standard engine. It also had the 440ci four-barrel Super Commando. the 440ci six-barrel Super Commando Six Pak. and the 426ci Hemi.  The 440- and Hemi-equipped cars received upgraded suspension components and structural reinforcements to help transfer the power to the road.

In 1970 the big-block power options offered to the customer were:

approximately 335 hp (250 kW) SAE net in the high performance 383-4V. pproximately 375 hp (280 kW) SAE net in the 440-4V. pproximately 390 hp (290 kW) SAE net in the 440-6V. andapproximately 425 hp (317 kW) SAE net in the 426-8V.

Other Barracuda options included decal sets. hood modifications. and some unusual "high impact" colors such as "Lime Light". "Bahama Yellow". "Tor Red". "Lemon Twist". "Curious Yellow". "Vitamin C". "In-Violet". "Sassy Grass" and "Moulin Rouge
