The AAR Cuda was a midyear introduction.

AAR stood for Dan Gurney's Al American Racer's Team. and the AAR Cuda was designed to compete in the Trans-Am series against such cars as the Boss 302 Mustangs. Z-28 Camaro and AMC Javelins.

Standard equipment included a special version of the 340 ci engine with 3 x 2 v induction.

The AAR also sported a unique side exhaust system flat-black paint treatment on hood cowl and fender tops a front and rear ducktail-type spoiler. and a black 23 piece side tape treatment.

The AAR Cuda and the T/A Challenger were the first production cars to come standard with different size front and rear tires. E 60 x 15 inch and G 60 x 15 inch respectively.

This particular AAR Cuda was subject to a 2. 10 labor hour restoration and has a numbers matching transmission. fender tag and vin tag.

The original motor was reportedly blown up back in the 70's.

The current motor was acquired from a totaled AAR Cuda from the 70's and was purchased and rebuilt by Wheeler Racing Engines. Blaine. MN.

The motor was rebuilt using only the best parts available and comes with a dyno sheet. from Wheeler. stating the following engine specs: 4900 rpm with 404. 5 ft. lb. /torque producing 377 rwd horsepower.

I have receipts and documentation for everything on this car.

A build sheet was found in the car. unfortunately it was not for this car.

However all body stamps and vin numbers do match.

The only deviation from stock is the steering wheel which is now a rimblow steering wheel where originally the car was equipped with a standard wheel.
