The Hits Just Keep Coming
May 1976
* 1970 AAR 'Cuda ~ 340 '3 x 2 Barrel' ~ 4-Speed ~ Color; "FF4" Lime-Green Metallic
* {1 of 2724 Built}
Peekskill, New York
For nearly 4 years I drove by this 2-Car Garage at least 3-Times a week, and both Garage Doors
were always closed.
Every once in awhile I would see a Mopar Musclecar parked in front of the Garage, but I never saw
the doors pulled open.
One-day the left side Garage Door was opened about 1-Foot, and off the tracks jammed.
As I drove by slowly with my car, I took a peak - and it looked like a 1970 or 1971 Barracuda with the front
tires completely flat.
Foolishly, I did not attempt to go up to the owners house and knock on the front door to find out about the car.
One day I was talking to my friend (Chevy Owner), and I told him about the Barracuda, and that I was
wondering if it was a Performance Model (ie; 340 or 383}
He said, he drove by the Garage recently, and he saw the Garage Door Open. He said he saw the car, and
it was a 'nothing' special Barracuda, just a basic ugly light green Barracuda with flat tires, and it was missing
the hood as well.
He told me, "Don't waste your time. If it was worth anything, somebody would have bought it already."
About a Month later, one my High School Buddies comes into my fathers shop and starts to ask him questions
about the 340 '3 x 2' Barrel, and if an AAR is a 'special car'.
My Father asked him if he owned one, and my Buddy says. "Yep, I just bought it."
Yep,,,,,,,,,he bought it for $1500 and didn't even know what he bought. The AAR was sitting for nearly 4-Years,
and only had 11,000 Miles on the Odometer.
And the Fiberglass-Hood was sitting in the Garage, behind the car on a bench.
