Vehicle Description
If you want a slick 'Cuda, now is probably the time to buy. They
continue to accelerate in value, and true big block cars like this
spectacular 440 Six-Pack '70 are very rarely found under six
figures. With a classic high-performance look, gorgeous Tor-Red
paint, a 4-speed, and sparkling performance from a stout big block,
this is one muscle car that truly delivers on the promises made by
its awesome good looks.
There's a good argument to be made that this is the best-looking
pony car ever made. Even if you're a GM guy or a Mustang fan, you
have to admit that after standing back and watching Ford and Chevy
figure out the formula, the Chrysler engineers got it exactly right
when the brought out the revised E-bodies. I, for one, am a huge
fan of the 'Cuda cars because of their superior handling and
friendly road manners, and the look is unmistakable from a
distance. The bodywork is done to a very high standard with that
Tor-Red paint showing very little wear, accentuated nicely by the
black 440 hockey-stripe on the rear flanks. Being an original 440
six-pack car, this 'Cuda was born with a Shaker hood as well, which
is one of the coolest features to ever come out of the muscle-car
era. Chrome bumpers fore and aft give it a purposeful, bright look,
and between the rocker guards, the hood scoop, and fog lamps under
the front bumper, it's an imposing sight, I don't care what you're
driving. From any angle, this ultra-clean 'Cuda looks fast just
sitting still.
The black interior is another place where taking their time scored
the Mopar guys serious advantages. The high-back buckets are
beautiful to look at and every bit as comfortable, and the cool
pistol-grip shifter remains a highly desirable option. The gauges
offer bright, crisp markings and look fantastic in their individual
round pods, and the big OEM woodgrained wheel is a nice find, too.
The original AM radio is still in the dash, and believe it or not,
it still works. The seats, carpets, door panels, and dash pad have
all been replaced or restored in the not-too-distant past and
remain in very good condition thanks to careful ownership over the
past few years. Finding a crack-free dash is quite an
accomplishment all by itself, and the woodgrain applique in the
dash bezel ads a touch of sophistication to the entire cabin. Out
back, the trunk is correctly outfitted with a reproduction mat plus
a vintage space-saver tire and jack assembly.
Raise the hood and you'll come face to face with a signature Mopar
powerplant combo of the era - an expansive 440 cubic inch V8 topped
with a coveted 6-pack -made up of three 2-barrel carbs to feed the
big block all it can handle. It sits underneath that awesome Shaker
air cleaner and inside a show-stopper of an engine bay with its
orange-painted block and valve covers, surrounded by fresh hoses,
finished inner fenders and firewall and neatly routed wiring. The
configuration is all in correct form, the engine fires up quickly
with 390 horses on tap, ready to collect some pink slips and
provide a very appealing lope - not so drastic as to wreak havoc
with available vacuum, but just right to send a great sounding note
out the factory-style dual exhaust. Managing all that big block
power is an A833 4-speed manual transmission that shifts quick and
spins a Dana 60 posi rear end full of 3.54 gears. This outstanding
'Cuda cruises on a correct set of 15" stock Rallye wheels outfitted
with period-correct F60-15 Firestone Wide oval white-letter
tires..
You chances to own one of these are getting smaller by the day and
it would be a mistake to overlook this stunning 440 Six-Pack car,
especially a 4-speed with great colors like this. The fact that's
it's under six figures alone means that it won't last long. Call
