Hamtramck assembly plant. The original owner moved to Menasha, WI,
and had his title updated on December 6, 1982. After many years of
ownership, he sold the car to a local gentleman who lived in New
London, WI. In 2004, the second owner decided to have the car
completely restored. The car was a rotisserie nut-and-bolt
restoration with great attention to detail. During the restoration
it had extensive sheet metal replacement and a Shaker hood with
6-barrel setup was added. The original hood and 4-barrel carburetor
were restored and included. Photos of the restoration are also
included. In 2016, the second owner sold it to a gentleman in
Watertown, NY, who only owned the car for a short time before
selling it. The car is now a documented four-owner car. This car
has been extremely well cared for since the restoration. The car
retains tons of original documentation, which is organized in a
binder with plastic sleeves and included. Some of the original
documentation includes the Window Sticker, Chrysler warranty
information, dealership owner's manual packet, owner's manuals,
Bill of Sale, buyer's tax receipt, bank loan installment contracts,
temporary registration, registrations from 1972-73, title from 1982
documenting first owner history, and a letter with photo of first
and second owner together with car. Many copies of original
documentation are included as well, such as original title
application, original title, registration from 1973, purchaser's
receipt from 1973 and title documenting second-owner history. The
car is powered by the original matching-numbers 440ci V8 engine
that runs excellent. The engine is coupled to the original
matching-numbers 4-speed manual transmission that shifts
beautifully. This �Cuda is one of only 952 1970 440 4-barrel
Plymouth �Cuda hardtops built for specs for the U.S. It is one of
334 4-speeds built and one of one built with these options. This
�Cuda is in the Chrysler Registry, which is documented by Mopar
expert Galen Govier. This �Cuda has also been inspected by Galen
Govier, and the entire report is included with the car. This car
has been restored to high show-quality standards throughout and is
truly stunning. This car has been serviced and detailed, which is
documented with an invoice, which is included.
