The Model - All good things must come to an end, and so it was when
regulations and insurance rates contributed to putting an end to
the Muscle-Car era. It didn't take too many years for
high-performance enthusiasts to realize what they had lived through
and was now lost to the ages. Ever since that era came to a
screeching halt, there have been skilled craftsmen who have studied
those cars of speed, design, and power and then built modern
creations forever making improvements to engine output, steering
and handling abilities along with improved comfort all around. As
prices escalated on many models, especially those equipped with a
factory Hemi-V8, building alternative creations that had the looks
and performance of those originals have become an art-form. Like
the originals, these are not your usual family "grocery-getters",
but are machines to be driven and enjoyed. Capturing the look, feel
and exhilaration of those mighty MoPars takes an investment of
time, skills and patience, of which many try to complete and few
manage to succeed.� �
The Car - With a Sassy-Grass Green finish and those big-black
"Hemi" billboard graphics on the side, there is no doubt of what
you're going to be up against. The build for this �Cuda hardtop
started with a solid body that was tweaked and finished to absolute
perfection. The electrifying high-impact green exterior means
business while the interior of this car is finished in authentic
black vinyl. Modern instruments make sure all of the mechanical
components are in working order, and an up-to-date AM-FM-CD stereo
system will keep the driver and passengers entertained for many
miles while they stay cool with vintage air-conditioning. Of
course, the main act is the under the hood, powered by a new crate
472 cid Hemi-V8. This engine has been built and prepared to deliver
the ultimate in straightaway speed, backed up by a proven
transmission. Since its build was completed in 2006, just a little
over 1,350 miles have been clocked the odometer. This is one
muscle-car that wasn't created to languish in a garage or a static
collection. It was built to perform. Custom alloy 10-spoke wheel,
heavy-duty suspension, and sure-stopping brakes combine to make
this beauty ready for the road. If you have ever wondered what it
would be like to watch the fence posts go clicking by at
high-speed, wonder no more and put your hand in the air to own this
fabulous �Cuda.�
