It could be yours, that is, if you have a rather large pile of cash burning a hole in your pocket. That’s because this 1970 Plymouth ‘Cuda, chassis number BS23R0B100003, is being offered for sale viaNot exactly a bargain, but the Alpine White car was not only the ever to feature the legendary, 425 hp engine, it was only the third-ever E-Body Plymouth to feature the massive V8.According to the seller, it was built on August 1, 1969, and this pre-production car has a Black interior and the iconic four-speed Pistol Grip shifter. The Alpine White exterior, meanwhile, got the stripe delete package. Other interesting options include the tac delete, the overhead console, and premium trim.
After a few years on the road and just 17,755 miles , the car was purchased by the current owner in 1983.
