Gateway Classic Cars of San Antonio/Austin is excited to present this 1970 Plymouth Barracuda, finished in a bold orange exterior over a black leather interior. This 'Cuda combines one of Mopar's most recognizable body styles with an extensive Pro-Touring build designed around big-block power, upgraded handling, braking, and modern comfort.
Under the hood is a 471 CID stroker V8 featuring a custom-built 1188 CFM NITTO 555s carburetor, polished stainless-steel fuel tank with 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 and back to a narrowed 8 3/4-inch rear end with 3.54 gears, a Detroit Locker, 35-spline axles, and high-performance 1350 universal joints. A custom 3-inch stainless exhaust system with electric cutouts completes the performance package.
The Pro-Touring suspension incorporates AlterKtion components up front, Street-Lynx components in the rear, and Reilly Motorsports hardware. Wilwood performance disc brakes are fitted at all four corners, along with Viking Performance coilovers and dual-adjustable components. Hydroboost power brakes with custom stainless lines and fittings provide additional braking assistance, while a custom-built aluminum radiator with an oversized SPAL fan helps manage engine temperatures.
Inside, the black leather cabin features Pro-Touring bucket seats, AutoMeter Pro Comp electronic gauges, a custom dash, center console, and custom-made front and rear door panels. Vintage Air provides heating and air conditioning, while power windows, a power rack-and-pinion steering system, and a Pioneer sound system add modern convenience. Additional details include a Flaming River tilt steering column, IDIDIT chrome tilt steering column components, and limo-tinted glass.
The build also incorporates a custom aluminum driveshaft, MSD 6AL Plus ignition box, MSD 8MM plug wires, relocated battery, remote oil filtration system, and numerous other custom touches throughout. According to the provided information, the engine has approximately 1,000 miles on it.
With its 471 CID stroker V8, Passon 5-speed manual, extensively upgraded Pro-Touring suspension, four-wheel Wilwood disc brakes, custom drivetrain, Vintage Air, and heavily updated interior, this 1970 Plymouth Barracuda brings together classic Mopar styling and an extensive performance-focused build.
