In 1970, the 'Cuda received a new body replacing the former
fastback Valiant body.  Nine engine options were available - from the 255 cid Slant-six  up to the 426 'Street Hemi' which 
cost $871.45 extra.  652 Hemi Cudas were built, with only 1,606 Hemi's being installed in any 1970 Chrysler product.  
  

  
This car is recognized by Chrysler as being the very
first Hemi Cuda that was sold - having the serial number 100003.  Numbers 100001 and 100002 were built, but were disassembled and scrapped.  This car was also disassembled as a part of the process of setting flat service
rates, but was reassembled and sold.
This car has several unique features being a cross between its original Gran Coupe model and the eventual
  Hemi Cuda.  It has a standard dash
without a tach, no chrome hood pins, road lamp or the Cuda striping.




This is a two owner car and has 17,720 miles on it

    Special Information: This Hemi Cuda is the very first
      production E-body 426 Hemi built on the assembly line at the Hamtramck,
      Michigan plant, and is believed to be the first production 1970 Plymouth
      Barracuda sold to the public. It's build date was August 1, 1969, and it's
      consecutive sequence number ends in 100003. It is very historically
      significant being the very first of only 652 built in the 1970 model year.
      Making the car even more rare is the fact that it is a 4-speed car and
      only 284 of those 652 were manually shifted Hemi Cudas. The rest being 727
      Torqueflite automatics of which there were 368 built. This car is the
      total envy of any muscle car lover and the total epitome of what a muscle
      car is and should be. - Galen Govier
