The original Plymouth Barracuda hit the streets on April 1, 1964 and was based on the companys Valiant, a fairly universal platform that had two-door coupes, sedans and wagons. Although initial sales were good, it was not until 1970 that the Cuda "really hit his stride. That year, all against the Valiant was cut and the car was built in Plymouth E-body (which shared its underpinnings with the Dodge Challenger ), which was higher than the Valiant. And a larger body that meant 426 CID Chrysler Hemi V8 could fit under the hood.

And the name was not the only change. Fastback variant , who had begun the Barracuda was removed from the line, leaving the coupe and convertible options. the line was an entry-level Barracuda Gran Coupe a luxury, sports and Cuda, who had the option of the Hemi V8 than the name Hemi Cuda.

Motor Trend tested the 426 Hemi Cuda "in its issue in May 1970, reaching 00 to 60 in 5.8 seconds and 4.1 one mile in 14 seconds at 102 mph.
The long list of available options for 1970 included Barracudas Pak goodies like a track with a 3.54:1 differential ratio, Rallye wheels, an exciting range of colors including Plum Crazy, pistol grip shifters, hockey stick sport stripes, hood pins and a range of comforts. Of all the options, the R-code steet 426 Hemi Mopar engine was the most legendary. He usually delivered through the solid 425 hp 727 Torqueflight automatic and a 3.55:1 Sure Grip rear axle. That is, unless the car was one of 284 that has a manual 4 speed.

With its classic form, tire-shredding power U.S., the limited production and a 1970 Hemi Cuda enormous popularity "can easily fetch more than $ 150 000 USD. This is a remarkable amount for a car with the same quailty build a Plymouth mass-produced. However, the aggressive sound combined with Hemi visual street cred and Barrett-Jackson Cudas advertising now make these more expensive than most Ferraris produced at the same time.
Changes for 1971 were minimal and included a more complex design input 6th grade and bumper grilles gill. Only 100 or more of the seven were built and ultra-rare 1971 are the most expensive convertible muscle cars money can buy. In 72, the government and EPA kicked in the ass muscle car with emissions regulations. After that time, no more Hemi or big block models can be ordered more

1970 Plymouth GTX Origin
The 1970 GTX has received a main overhaul, but sales still suffered. The convertible model was dropped in 1970. Designers have made smoother lines, also a "power bulge" hood was introduced at the first time, as well as non-functional rear brake air intakes. Instead of having two grooves running length-wise as in 1969, the Air Grabber hood was brought back, had a spoon opening located at the heart of energy.
The GTX was available with the standard 440 +6 (three two-body carburetors), 440 4 barrel and the 426 Hemi. 6 The 440 could compete closely with the Hemi, even at highway speeds. The only other Plymouth model luxury / performance was the full-size Sport Fury GT, built on the C-body platform. The GT was added to the lineup in 1970. According to the marketing strategy, actually GTX 1970 model includes many standard features. The GT has received nowhere near the recognition of the GTX, although they shared many performance features. The Sport Fury GT was a member of the size of rapid transit system. The Sport Fury GT was often seen as more of a mature gentleman luxury car performance.

The Last Plymouth Hemi Cuda Ever Made We Think
The muscle car was not only beautiful Plymouth Hemi Cuda True Blue Metallic, but also the best-selling car at Mecum Spring Classic car auction last week, believed to be the end of an era of muscle cars.
When this original 23,746 miles Plymouth was hammered last week sold for $ 550,000, was announced as the Plymouth Hemi Cuda past have done. This statement comes from the fact that this particular car is the largest known number of series 1971 426 Hemi equipped Plymouth Cuda in existence.
Hemi car was not exactly an easy business when expected sold in high dollar. The car had already made several unsuccessful trips around the auction block before the car found a new owner last weekend. According to Hemmings:
"The car has not been a sale at $ 370,000 Mecum Auction in St. auction Mecum, bid up to $ 525,000 in Kissimmee Mecum auction in 2009, dating back to 2007. Charles, in 2009, $ 375,000 in Monterey in 2010, $ 400,000 in Kissimmee, 2010;. and $ 380,000 in St. Charles in 2010. With a starting price of $ 599,000, the car was also spotted in the inventory of a dealer prior to its sale last month."
Even if it existed in the market for a Hemi Cuda and were a world of dreams, we might to think twice before paying the "last car built" hefty premium attached to this car. At least one bidder does not share our concerns, judging by the price paid $ 550,000 last week. Regardless of what the car sells for, we certainly do almost anything for a chance to spend an afternoon hooning this (or any other) Plymouth Hemi Cuda .
