When the Trooper walked up to the vehicle he instantly smelled marijuana smoke. Mitchell had been pulled over for speeding going 73 mph in a 55 mph zone. The body camera footage was released on you tube according to And we have provided a link for viewers to see how good police work led to the arrest of Michael Mitchell. A Graduating Grambling University student who had moved with his family to Louisiana was found dead in the trunk of a 2016 Chevy Camaro Lt. I would personally love to own a classic like this if it were red, black, blue, green, or panty pink! But then I’m not a purist either, and if this little lovely was in my garage, she’d be rolling around, at least weekly, and she’d be providing wonderful clouds of tire smoke for the grinning and drooling masses….In a rare chain of events. In truth, the color of the car when it was built doesn’t always appeal to potential owners, and I feel like most folks would like the choice of having their favorite classic in whatever color they darn well please! And even though there’s something to be said for originality, there’s also something to be said for freedom of choice! Especially when you’re talking about a potential hundred grand investment in, let’s be real here, a toy! I’m not detracting from green, in any way, nor originality, for that matter, but squabbling over build sheets not being adhered to for the entire life of a vehicle is, let’s face it, just silly. I 100 percent agree with you Dave, and thank you for finally saying what I’m sure a lot of us currently wiping the drool from our chins are thinking as well. However, do you think the color change and non-original motor will see the action stall before it reaches that point? Recent history suggests the price could climb above $80,000 before hitting the reserve. The 1970 Plymouth AAR ‘Cuda is no exception, although the bidding history suggests people like what they see. Originality can be key to potential value with any classic car. Otherwise, it will take an in-person inspection or the seller’s willingness to supply additional photos to reveal any finer details. The ‘Cuda features the Rally gauge cluster, a factory tach, and a functioning original AM radio. The Fender Tag reveals it would have originally been trimmed in Green vinyl, but the exterior shade change prompted a swap to Black vinyl. We receive no interior shots, but the seller describes it as almost perfect. Potential buyers will be pleased to learn it runs and drives well, representing a turnkey proposition for its new owner. The remaining components are original, but they believe the engine block was replaced with a correct unit under warranty. The seller indicates this classic doesn’t feature its numbers-matching V8. The Z28 and Boss could hit 133mph, with the ‘Cuda marginally slower at 129mph. There was little to separate the trio when the focus turned to top speed. The rival Camro Z28 was faster over the ¼-mile, but the ‘Cuda would pip the Boss at the post. The 340 was quite a powerhouse, delivering 290hp and 345 ft/lbs of torque. The buyer could select from a four-speed manual transmission or a three-speed TorqueFlite, with our feature car rolling off the line with the former. It may not be completely original, but this ‘Cuda will undoubtedly turn heads.īuying a 1970 AAR ‘Cuda brought Chrysler’s 340ci V8 with Six-Pack induction. The stripes and decals are crisp, while the spoiler, trim, glass, and restored Rallye wheels are excellent. There are no signs of rust, and the seller doesn’t mention any problems in their listing. However, rectifying that shouldn’t cost a fortune and would be worth the effort. The seller admits the Black on the hood isn’t quite right because the gloss level is incorrect. The work was completed to a high standard, with the paint applied over what appears to be the car’s original exterior steel. The Fender Tag confirms its original owner ordered it in Ivy Green, but it changed to what I believe is Rally Red while under the care of one of its three previous owners. The first and most apparent modification made to this ‘Cuda is its paint shade. Bidding has raced to $60,600, although that figure is below the reserve. However, that fact hasn’t dampened enthusiasm since the seller listed it here on eBay in Washougal, Washington. This AAR is a tidy classic but isn’t 100% original. Plymouth’s contribution was the 1970 AAR ‘Cuda, and unlike the Boss and First Generation Z28, the company didn’t peg itself to a 302ci V8 in its roadgoing version. It spawned such classics as the Mustang Boss 302 and the Camaro Z28. Manufacturers focused heavily on the highly competitive Trans Am series during the 1960s and 1970s, placing great store in the “win on Sunday, sell on Monday” mantra. ![]()
