Join us as we feature and drive this genuine 70 AAR Cuda 340 6 Pack!
The AAR Cuda was one of the toughest looking cars ever to leave the Plymouth factory. Designed to race in the USA's Trans Am Racing series, doing battle against Ford, Chevrolet, Dodge, AMC and many more, with the likes of Boss Mustang, Dodge Challenger and the Z28 Camaro just to name a few. The AAR Cuda left the assembly line with a 340 Six Pack engine combination under the hood and a host of other high performance option of which was de-stroked to comply with a 305 cu engine capacity rule for the category.
In 1970, Plymouth entered SCCA Trans-Am racing, contracting with Dan Gurney’s All American Racers to build and campaign cars to be driven by himself and talented young gun Swede Savage. At that time, SCCA homologation requirements dictated that a manufacturer build a minimum of 2,500 street versions in order to compete. The single-production-year AAR Cuda met the requirements with over 2,700 cars built during a five-week period between March and April 1970.
The AAR Cuda was different from the regular Cuda in many ways. It featured a unique strobe stripe, incorporating the AAR Cuda logo.
The hood was lightweight fibreglass and featured a functional scoop, drawing in fresh cold air.
It also featured unique front eyebrow spoilers, a rear ducktail and exhaust outlets exited out the sides in front of the rear wheels.
