Vehicle Description
Like the idea of owning a Hemi-powered 'Cuda convertible, but think
better of diving head first into a seven-figure investment? We've
got the classic for you! A ton of time and money was spent making
this bright bombshell one of the best Hemi tributes on the planet.
Decked in correct Lemon Twist paint and restored with an
era-correct 426/4-speed drivetrain, the car is an easy way for any
hardcore Chrysler fan to enjoy collector car hierarchy. So, if
you're looking for a well-restored Hemi car that's anything but a
numbers-matching drama queen, this fully-sorted drop-top is your
hot ticket!
BODYWORK/TRIM
Is there a more outrageous High Impact color than Lemon Twist? As
one of the most appealing hues to come out of Chrysler's hip 1970s
'brighter is better' mindset, code FY1 yellow is probably the most
dynamic paint to ever adorn classic MoPar metal. And when it's
expertly applied under traditional Hemi side stripes, it's an
absolutely glowing reminder as to just how crazy the muscle car era
really was. Naturally, that fluorescent pigment looks right at home
highlighting this rotisserie restored 'Cudas straight profile;
after all it is the car's original color. And the result is a high
energy symphony of razor-sharp lines, rock-solid panels and super
glossy surfaces that oozes bare-knuckle confidence and old school
appeal!
Thanks to its high-dollar, frame-off restoration, this Plymouth's
crisp fit and spectacular ornamentation present much better than
any factory-fresh original. At the front of the car, a traditional
redline grille hangs clear headlights and a small "PLYMOUTH" script
between a showroom-fresh bumper, polished fog lights and clear
parking lamps. At the top of those lamps, a familiar Shaker Hood
splits the difference between small lanyards and like-new glass
that's framed in well-maintained stainless. At the sides of that
stainless, Lemon Twist sport mirrors reflect a Black vinyl top
while textured rocker guards frame stainless wheel moldings, satin
door handles and optional turn indicators. And at the back of the
car, a traditional black valence hangs like-new taillights and a
small "'cuda" badge between bright exhaust tips, a second show
worthy bumper and a great looking Go Spoiler.
ENGINE
Pull the pins on this 'Cuda's bright yellow hood and you'll find a
426 cubic inch, era-correct Hemi that's been professionally
restored to first class condition. As Chrysler's top option for
power hungry gearheads, this legendary elephant block, complete
with its famous 2468330 casting number, utilizes iron heads, an
oversquare bore, a forged crank, forged connecting rods, forged
aluminum pistons and a hydraulic cam to turn stout 10.25 to 1
compression into 425 horsepower and 490 lb./ft. of torque. All that
high performance hardware is housed in a glossy Hemi Orange block,
which hangs an attractive set of Organisol-coated valve covers
above correct, low restriction exhaust manifolds. Fuel and air are
supplied by large, 4-barrel carbs that are bolted to a high
performance intake. Compression is sparked by high quality Chrysler
Electronic Suppression cables, which are snapped onto a correct
points distributor. And resultant combustion is cooled by a correct
heavy duty radiator that's finished with reproduction Chrysler
hoses and old school squeeze clamps. Visually, the engine bay of
this stellar MoPar is in brilliant, show-ready condition, featuring
immaculate detailing and correct finishes throughout. And
naturally, details like correct markings, a correct MoPar red cap
battery, and even the car's dual Satin Black horns have been
accurately duplicated or completely restored.
DRIVETRAIN/SUSPENSION
This 'Cudas fully restored chassis is every bit as clean and
straight forward as its solid exterior panels and fully sorted
engine. The high-winding big block churns power through a
professionally rebuilt 4-speed, which spins a correct Dana 60 Sure
Grip around stout, 3.55 gears. Braking, which is surprisingly
competent for a 48-year-old car, comes courtesy of power front
discs and heavy duty drums. Turns are aided by factory power
steering, which is bolted between Hemi torsion bars, Hemi torque
boxes and an authentic Hemi K-member. Charred dinosaurs flow
through a traditional H-shaped crossover to aluminized pipes and
dual-chamber Flowmaster mufflers. And at the corners, 15-inch
Rallye wheels spin fresh F60-15 Goodyear Polyglas GTs around new
trim rings and Charcoal center caps.
INTERIOR
Inside this convertible, a fully restored Black vinyl interior is
simple, functional and looks as good as new. Top dead center,
high-back bucket and rear bench seats are restoration-fresh and
show barely any signs of wear. Below those seats, like-new carpet
is protected by "'cuda" branded floor mats. At the sides of those
seats, molded door panels proudly hold the 'Cuda name amid subtle
stainless trim and clean chrome hardware. Between those seats, an
optional console anchors a cool Hurst Pistol Grip Shifter in vivid
wood trim. In front of those seats, a warp-free dash hangs familiar
Rallye telemetry above a vintage Chrysler 8-track player and a
small Sunpro accessory gauge. In front of the driver, a wood-rimmed
steering wheel perfectly complements the car's sculpted console and
slick instrument panel. And behind the cockpit, a fully restored
trunk holds a new mat, a correct spare tire and a full jack
assembly below a tight convertible cowl and a correctly decaled
decklid.
