Vehicle Description
This 1971 Plymouth ‘Cuda, nicknamed “Orangasm,” has undergone a
major transformation into a complete custom. Powered by a 6.1-liter
HEMI engine from Chrysler's SRT cars with a MagnaCharger and backed
by a TR6060 6-speed manual transmission this car is a strong
runner. Once the body was squared up the straightening was next
with well-fitting panels. The car was then put on a rotisserie and
sprayed with a custom mix of Sherwin Williams Big Bad Orange and
Gold Pearl. The inside and under side of the car were painted to
the same level as the body. Next came a tubular K-frame assembly
from Magnum Force with many components chromed for visual impact.
Tubular control arms and coilovers replace the old torsion bar
suspension. Out back is a 4-link setup attached to a Dana 60 rear
axle. The transmission tunnel was dissected and enlarged in every
dimension to accommodate the huge 6-speed transmission. With the
engine and transmission in the car attention was turned to wiring
the HEMI and its components. Six individual wiring harnesses were
integrated to operate a car with all of the modern conveniences.
Extensive use of hand-laid fiberglass and carbon fiber sets this
custom apart. It has a custom see-through hood with similar styling
to the original shaker hood scoop, carbon fiber accents, full
custom interior, LED lighting, aftermarket gauges, and a custom
stereo. This muscle car was awarded with Builder's Choice at
Goodguys Lone Star Nationals in Texas 2016.
