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 kicking
out over 600hp 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
underside 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.
