I'm surprised to see rocker moldings on a "race car". I've seen AARs with and without them but it always surprises me to see them.  :notsure:

1970 AAR Cuda in Lemon-twist. Non numbers-matching but correct TA stamped 340 six-barrel (Rebuilt with 500 miles since). Non numbers-matching 727 auto trans.

Looks like a good restoration. Guy says he would let it go for 67k.



So did you buy it ?

Yes I plan on buying this car. Still working out logistics.

That VIN BS23J0B282205 number seems very low for an AAR produced on 4-70.

The Trans AM Cuda Registry shows that ALL 4-70 numbers start at 289xxx and go to 291xxxx

My AAR is a 3-70 car and the VIN starts at 289xxx

The Door VIN Sticker is also a re-pop.

That sounds concerning... I have a few more photos that may help confirm. Seller said that this car was in the AAR registry. Also decoded tag says it was built 03-70 [319].

Maybe when they had the Door VIN re-popped they made a mistake and put 4-70 instead of 3-70.

Because that VIN tag looks original.

Yep, I think you're right. Not a big deal IMO.

All 4-70 (April 70) AAR start at 291XXX and go to 309XXX
I guess there is a typo at the Trans AM Cuda Registry  :thinking:
