This fantastic Vitamin C Orange AAR `Cuda is from The Lingenfelter Collection and has the uncommon AAR option, being one of 2,724 built in one model year only. This car was early in the build sequence and is the 459th unit produced. The model was in recognition of Dan Gurney’s All-American Racing team participating in the ultra-competitive Trans Am Series with their AAR race-prepared `Cudas driven by Dan and Swede Savage.

This beautifully finished and engineered car runs with a specially modified 340-cid engine with 290 horsepower. It also sports an aluminum intake manifold that is the base for the three two-barrel carburetors. A four-speed manual transmission with pistol-shifter is floor-mounted between bucket seats. The Sure Grip differential has 3.91:1 gearing and front and rear sway bars, plus heavy-duty suspension and shock absorbers are also part of this exciting package. The `Cuda has appeared in Mopar Muscle and Muscle Car Review magazines and comes with many more enticing extras, including the original Chrysler Broadcast Sheet.
