Vehicle Description
Most everyone who wants a 'Cuda, wants one with a factory installed
N96 Shakerhood. Most everyone who wants a '71 'Cuda, wants one with
Billboard side graphics. Very, very few 1971 Plymouth 'Cuda's were
actually ordered with the "Billboard" stripe. This 340 powered 4spd
is factory equipped with both a factory Shakerhood AND Billboard
stripe. It has also been finely, Concours restored and formally
inspected by renown Mopar Judge and Marque expert, Dave Wise. The
engine block is a vintage 340, but not original to the car. Correct
distributor, alternator, exhaust manifold, and Carter Thermoquad
carburetor #4973 dated 350 day of 1971. According to the
inspection, the body VINs on the radiator support, cowl, and dash
are all original and intact. Overall, Mr. Wise's report rates the
car as a 1.4, 1.0 being the highest. The car is restored as factory
equipped, confirmed by both the original fender tag and original
broadcast sheet.
