This Plymouth Barracuda got away, but there are more like it here.

This 1970 Plymouth ’Cuda coupe is one of approximately 368 examples produced with a 426ci Hemi V8 and a 727 TorqueFlite automatic transmission for the model year. Finished in Jamaica Blue Metallic over a black vinyl interior, the car features a Shaker hood with an exposed intake and hood pins, 15″ Rallye wheels, front fog lamps, a Chrysler AM radio, a Realistic FM stereo, and the A32 Super Performance Package, which added a 4.10:1 Sure-Grip differential and power-assisted front disc brakes. The car was sold new at Scothorn Motor Co. in Hebron, Kentucky, and was acquired by the selling dealer in 2021. This Hemi ’Cuda is now offered in Florida with a broadcast sheet, manufacturer’s literature, 1970 sales paperwork, a Galen’s Registry trim-tag decode and inspection report, and a clean Tennessee title.

The body is finished in Jamaica Blue Metallic (EB7) with contrasting pinstripes, and the selling dealer states that portions of the engine compartment and trunk floor were repainted during previous ownership. Exterior details include a Shaker hood with an exposed air-intake assembly and hood pins along with front fog lamps, chrome bumpers, and dual exhaust outlets exiting through the rear valance. Corrosion is noted at the lower portion of the driver-side quarter panel.
