This 1970 Plymouth Barracuda is said to be an unrestored and highly original example by the seller, who is the second owner and acquired it 18 years ago from a friend. The car was special-ordered through Edmunds Auto Brokers for delivery to Culver Chrysler-Plymouth in California, and power comes from a believed-original 440ci V8 that is equipped with triple carburetors and backed by a 727 Torqueflite automatic transmission. Due to the provided paint-thickness measurements, the seller reports that the car retains its factory external Rally Red finish. Additional equipment includes power brakes, a 3.55 rear end, vinyl top, sport hood, dual exhaust, AM radio with 8-track, woodgrain console, and more. This Barracuda is now being offered with its California blue plates, the original window sticker, purchase documents, owner’s manuals, registration cards, and a clean California title in the seller’s name.

Finished in Rally Red (FE5), this example was optioned with body-matched plastic bumpers and a black vinyl top. The rear hitch was installed at the Plymouth dealership when new. A small dent is noted in the left front fender, but the paint was reportedly not cracked. Paint measurements from August 2017 showed the following thicknesses (in mils):

3.1 / 3.8 / 3.0 – Right fender

3.2 / 3.1 / 2.8 – Passenger door

3.3 / 3.2 / 2.9 – Passenger-side quarter-panel

3.0 / 3.1 / 3.3 – Trunk lid

4.9 / 5.2 / 6.1 – Driver-side quarter-panel

2.9 / 3.1 / 2.9 – Driver’s door

4.9 / 4.1 /5.2 – Left fender

2.8 / 3.1 / 3.0 – Hood

Per the seller, the interior remains original and retains its factory AM/8-track radio and wood-wrapped three-spoke steering wheel. Wood-grain trim appears well-preserved, and the 31k miles shown on the odometer are believed accurate by the seller. Only 1,200 miles have been added during his 18 years of ownership. While the Rallye instrument cluster is not listed on the build sheet, included documents reportedly show a dealership installation of the cluster for the vehicle’s delivery.

The 440ci six-barrel V8 and 727 Torqueflite automatic transmission are said to be original to the car. The high-performance engine was rated at 390 horsepower when new and is equipped with triple two-barrel carburetors, which are reportedly original with gaskets by Bob Enright. Recent servicing included a reset of the center carburetor float level, and records are included as shown in the gallery.

The broadcast sheet can be seen above, and an appraisal from Jerry Henderson is included in the gallery below. Galen Govier has not seen the car, but reportedly examined documentation, inspected the broadcast sheet, and has the car in his registry.
