1971 Cuda 340, Tahitian Walnut Metallic w/ White Vinyl Top

#A1806134VT - Pre-Order - expected in the 3rd quarter of 2024 (announced 3/1/24) in 1:18 scale is a 1971 Plymouth Cuda - Tahitian Walnut Metallic in both Hardtop and White Vinyl Top! This is the first 340 Cuda that ACME is producing. This will feature opening hood, doors and trunk along with a 340 4 Barrel backed by a 4 Speed Transmission with a Pistol Grip Shifter. It will have a White Interior, White Billboards, White Vinyl Top and Rallye Wheels. The engine will be wired and plumbed and the interior and chassis detail are very well done. Tahitian Walnut Metallic is not a color that was offered on the Cuda in 1971, but it still looks stunning.

1971 was the last year so many engine options would be offered in the Barracuda, as new government regulations the following year would require horsepower to be expressed as net instead of gross, and the largest engine available for the Barracuda was a 340 CID V8. In 1971, however, Barracuda buyers could choose from just about every engine Plymouth produced, just as they had been able to the year before.

Since the Coupe was just a stripped down hardtop model, their production numbers are grouped together. While these were the best selling models of the 1971 Barracudas, their production was only at 9,459. The Coupe had a base price of $2,654, while the Hardtop started at $2,766. The convertible began at $3,023 and had a production run of 1,014.
