Some cars are headturners because of their initial impressions, some because of their overall condition and some because there is a story behind it all, but this incredible 1970 Plymouth AAR Cuda meets all three of those criteria. To begin, this FM3code Moulin Rouge Ebody had been owned by just a single family, purchased as a graduation present for their daughter back in 1970. Secondly, this car is in unrestored condition, with its original Moulin Rouge paint and graphics and OEM white interior. And beyond that conditioning, this is also the only known example equipped with this drivetrain and color combination, with its documentation including two broadcast sheets.

The A53 AAR program was only around for a year, and FM3 Moulin Rouge availability on it was only for a few, short months in the spring of 1970. This AAR Cuda has its original, matchingnumbers drivetrain, which starts with the special 340/290 HP smallblock V8 engine. This featured the trio of Holley 2barrel carburetors on a factory Edelbrock intake, highflow cast manifolds that feed into sideexit exhaust, and unique cylinder heads and valve gear, a combo only offered by Plymouth once—on this model. This is backed by a 4speed manual transmission and 8.75inch rear end with 3.55 final gear ratio. There are power brakes with front discs, as well as the special AAR suspension upgrades.

Inside, this car features its original, white bucketseat interior, the Hurst Pistol Grip shifter with floor boot, dash layout with black fascia, Plymouth pushbutton radio and a driver’s side remote mirror. Dressups outside include dual chrome mirrors, bright exhaust trumpets, a rearmount antenna and the factory fender blackout matching the original pinsecured fiberglass hood. The final touches are the Rallye wheels with staggered Goodyear Polyglas GT tires, E6015 front and G6015 rear, and the Space Saver spare is in the trunk. From the AAR emblems to the aggressive stance, this was not just a performance car, but one in a special color with a special story. Coming with the owner's manual, broadcast sheets, Dave Wise Report and Chrysler Registry Report, this highly original 1970 Plymouth AAR Cuda in its rare Moulin Rouge is sure to turn heads.
