A one year only, limited production car, the ‘Cuda AAR was designed specifically to homologate Plymouth’s completely redesigned new ‘Cuda for competition in the red hot SCCA Trans Am road racing series. Special equipment unique to the AAR was a fiberglass hood with ram air scoop, radio antenna moved to the rear quarter panel and decklid mounted ducktail spoiler. It also had fast ratio steering and special suspension with the rear springs arched an extra inch and staggered rubber sizes to give the car an aggressive rake. It featured special exhaust with chrome tips exiting ahead of the rear wheels. The biggest change was to be found underhood where Plymouth installed a special TA engine based on their standard 340. The basic 340 was given a beefier block which could be fitted with four bolt main caps. Likewise, the special TA heads had added material so racers could port them for higher output. Atop all of this was a tri-power Six Barrel carb setup to make sure the high revving 340 could breathe. This particular AAR was sold new at Mel Wolff Chrysler Plymouth, Inc. in Chicago, Illinois. It has benefitted from a full on rotisserie restoration and this award winner looks as though it were just picked up new from the dealer today.
A well optioned car, in addition to the standard AAR equipment, this one has the pistol grip shifted 4-speed manual transmission, 3.91 Sure Grip differential, power steering, power brakes with front discs, FC7 In Violet high impact paint, white buckets, Rallye instrument cluster, Music Master AM radio, Rallye wheels (with correct Goodyear Polyglas tires). This fabulous ‘Cuda has been visually inspected and decoded by Galen Govier and is in his Chrysler Registry.
This spectacular AAR may well be the finest one available anywhere and with their limited production, it is a rare opportunity to own one!
