This fully documented 1970 AAR 'Cuda features 100% matching numbers, a high-quality restoration, and is painted my personal favorite color, Burnt Orange Metallic. Expertly applied over a fully restored 'Cuda body, the paint is dazzling and it's a good thing the AAR comes with a blacked-out hood, otherwise you'd have a hard time driving it on a sunny day. A proper AAR decal package, including strobe stripes and All American Racers chevron on the rear quarters, has been installed. The blacked-out rear spoiler matches the hood and ties the whole car together nicely, with the result being a car that looks every bit the part of a race-ready piece.
AARs received their own unique powerplant, a 340 cubic inch small block topped by three two-barrel carburetors. While all that carburetion might seem like overkill on a small block, the result is a car that loves to rev and never seems to run out of breath. That big air cleaner draws fresh, cool air from the functional hood scoop, and force feeds the Holleys underneath. The fender tags are reproductions, but the originals are included as part of the documentation package, and no liberties have been taken in their content. And in case you didn't catch it before, this is the original, numbers-matching engine.
Underneath, this car is incredibly clean with floors that have been finished like the rest of the body. The original 4-speed manual transmission spins an 8.75-inch rear full of easy-cruising 3.55 gears. The AARs received a special side-exiting exhaust setup, and this one has an accurate system that doesn't look cobbled together like so many muffler shop specials. A new gas tank hangs out back feeding fresh lines, and the brake system has been fully rebuilt at all four corners. The finishing touch is a set of handsome Rallye wheels wearing staggered-size Goodyear Polyglas GT tires.
The interior is also as correct as the body, done in black vinyl with high-back buckets as original. If you need any additional proof of the 340s high-RPM proclivities, look no further than the original 6500 RPM tachometer, and believe me, nothing sounds more amazing than a V8 running at high speeds. The buckets feature new seat covers, there are fresh carpets on the floor, and overhead the headliner is taut and wrinkle-free. As a performance car, there's no weight-adding console, and it looks pretty butch with the shifter just sticking out of the transmission tunnel like that. Under the rear spoiler, you'll find a nicely finished trunk with a new mat and a correct space-saver spare complete with inflator bottle and a full jack assembly.
The AAR might be the most collectable of the small block Mopars. With a fascinating story behind them, they were a cool experiment from a time when automakers were willing to try almost anything to improve their performance credentials. They're also fabulous cars to drive, with that lightweight V8 under the hood, handling is exceptional, and those three deuces make a sound like nothing you've ever heard before. This one is beautifully restored in a very cool period color and it's a combination that always attracts a lot of attention here in the showroom. Look at prices on Boss 302s and Camaro Z/28s lately, and you'll understand why the AAR is so highly sought. Call today!
