Hi, I'm Fabien, 30 from France, I'm the owner of a 1970 Barracuda since 2016, with a rare, Europe special, A code 170ci slant 6.
These cars were imported into Europe as CKD parts by Chrysler Benelux, body panels were welded together at the Rotterdam Nekaf facility and then assembled to be sold in France, Belgium, Netherlands... They assembled a lot of slant 6 Valiants and Darts in the 60s, a good number of gen 1 and gen 2 Barracudas as well (slant 6, 273 and 340 mostly) until 1970 with some quantity of 383 Challenger, 340 non-Cuda Barracudas with flat hoods, and several slant 6 units as well.

Mine is originally white (repainted in the 80s or 90s, with saddletan interior, power brakes with front discs, 3 speed manual stick shift through a center console, and rimblow steering wheel, most of those sought after options were standard specs for Europe.

The AAR hood was on the car when I bought it with a set of 17" American Racing wheels, but I have the original hood, steel wheels and the 15 pounds each zamac wire wheel covers.

Welcome to the site from the Motor City!
I would love to see more of this interesting car. How about some pics of the engine room and interior?

Howdy and welcome! @Vettefab

You have my curiosity now. An A code? So, BH23A0B****** ?

Can you post the trim tag for the car?
Did the import process remove the trim tag for the car and install an import tag in it's place?
Is there a broadcast sheet for the car or a build sheet?
Any factory documentation.

I'm very very curious of the details on your sweet ride!

Are you going to perhaps start a thread with a write up on the details of your awesome car?
