Gateway Classic Cars of San Antonio/Austin is excited to present this 1970 Plymouth Barracuda, finished in a striking House of Kolor Ultra Orange Pearl exterior over a black interior. This 'Cuda combines one of Mopar's most recognizable body styles with an extensive Pro-Touring build centered around big-block power, upgraded handling and braking, and a custom interior.
Under the hood is a 470 CID stroker V8 featuring a custom-built 950 CFM carburetor specifically set up for the engine. Supporting the combination is a polished stainless-steel fuel tank with a stealth electric fuel pump, braided stainless fuel lines, and a McLeod Gold twin-disc street/strip clutch. Power is sent through a Passon 855 5-speed manual transmission to a narrowed Dana 60 rear end with 3.54 gears, a Detroit Locker, 35-spline axles, and heavy-duty 1350-series universal joints. A custom-cut TTI 3-inch stainless exhaust system completes the performance package.
The Pro-Touring suspension incorporates AlterKtion components up front, Street-Lynx components in the rear, and Reilly Motorsports hardware. Viking Performance coilovers and dual-adjustable components are joined by Wilwood performance disc brakes at all four corners. A Hydroboost power brake system with custom stainless lines and fittings provides braking assistance, while a custom racing aluminum radiator with an oversized SPAL electric fan handles cooling. The Barracuda rides on Nitto NT555 tires with 17-inch wheels up front and 18-inch wheels at the rear.
Inside, the black cabin features Pro-Touring bucket seats, AutoMeter Pro-Comp electronic gauges, a custom dash, and center console. One of the more distinctive details is the dash face and console trim, which were crafted from approximately 200-year-old mesquite wood. Brand-new factory-style front and rear door panels complete the interior presentation. Vintage Air provides heating and air conditioning, while power windows, power rack-and-pinion steering, an Ididit chrome tilt steering column, and an Alpine sound system with a built-in amplifier add modern comfort and convenience. Limo-tinted glass completes the look.
Additional performance details include a custom aluminum driveshaft, MSD 6AL Plus ignition box, MSD 8MM plug wires custom-routed behind the headers for a cleaner engine bay, a relocated battery, and a remote oil filtration system. The seller states that the 470 CID stroker has approximately 1,000 miles on it.
With its 470 CID stroker V8, Passon 855 5-speed manual transmission, Dana 60 rear end, Pro-Touring suspension, four-wheel Wilwood disc brakes, Vintage Air, custom mesquite interior details, and House of Kolor Ultra Orange Pearl finish, this 1970 Plymouth Barracuda brings together classic Mopar styling with an extensive performance-focused build.
