The 1970 Plymouth AAR Cuda was not your typical muscle car. It was designed with modest-engine racers in mind, built to compete on twisting road courses. What Plymouth built was a Street Rod!
In 1970, Plymouth entered the Sports Car Club of America (SCCA) Trans-Am racing, contracting with Dan Gurneys All American Racers (AAR) to build and campaign cars to be driven by him and 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 homologation requirements with 2,724 cars built, all during a five-week period between March and April 1970.
There were 1,120 produced with manual 4-speed transmissions, and the remaining 1,614 had automatic 3-speed transmissions. Although Chrysler kept no record of the number of cars by paint color, estimates are 118 AAR Cudas were painted in the Plymouth color named "In Violet" you see here.
