The AAR ‘Cuda was only produced during the year of 1970. The AAR ‘Cuda was produced to race in the SCCA road racing and to compete with the Ford Mustang. AAR actually means ‘All American Racers’.

All AARs had a 340 6 barrel engine. The AAR had a unique stripe called a strobe stripe, which held the AAR ‘Cuda logo. The hood scoop on the AAR actually took in fresh air. For spoilers, it had front “eyebrow” spoilers and a rear duck tail

The AAR ‘Cuda offered lots of power with a V8, 340 6 barrel engine. The bore and stroke were 4.04 inches by 3.31 inches. The stock compression was 10.5 to 1. For the carburetors, they used 3 two-barrel carburetors, which amounted to 6 barrels.

The fresh air intake hood of an AAR ‘Cuda distinguishes it from standard ‘Cudas. The hood is made of lightweight fiberglass. The hood was usually painted Organasol, along with the tops of the fenders and doors.

The AAR ‘Cuda was produced during the months of March and April, 1970. Production of the AAR began on March 10 and continued until April 17. There was however the pilot car that was produced February 3rd. Also, according to a couple of AAR Cuda Registries, there were no AARs known to be produced March 10th, 25th - 27th, or the 30th. Also they reported that there has been at least one AAR with the production date of April 20. So those production dates may not have been followed exactly by the factory. There were only about 2,724 AAR ‘Cudas produced in the six week time period. There were 1,120 produced with manual 4-speed transmissions, and the remaining 1,614 had the automatic 3-speed transmissions
