Vehicle Description
In a hobby that's chock full of numbers-matching time capsules and
show-stopping customs, it's always nice to see a tasteful muscle
car that's as tough as it is timeless. A head turning road rocket,
this superb 'Cuda has been completely restored, fitted with 6.1
liters of Indy Street Legend Hemi and wrapped in stunning blue and
black aesthetics. If you're searching for a broad-shouldered MoPar
classic that wraps killer performance in outstanding good looks,
check out this exceptional E-Body!
A LITTLE BIT 1970, A LITTLE BIT 1971
The product of a detailed, ground-up build that rang up to just
over $380K, this solid coupe wears an impressively straight
fuselage that's been massaged to better-than-factory alignment. The
car's crisp 2-stage shines under fresh bumpers, color-keyed
mirrors, a Gloss Black Go Wing and a 1971 front-clip. Traditional
Hemi 'Cuda touches are reinterpreted through a Gloss Black Shaker,
a Gloss Black valance and painted Hemi Banners. And today, one
close look at our high-resolution photos reveals a handsome payoff
in the form of one of the coolest Plymouth resto-mods on the
planet!
586 HORSEPOWER AT 5,900 RPMS
The modern "HEMI' lettering on this 'Cuda's clean Shaker hints at
6.1 liters of modern Hemi power. That said, even hints can be
deceiving, as this hot six-one certainly isn't an assembly line
transplant. Sourced from Indy Cylinder Head, this $24K Street
Legend Hemi was still climbing the power curve when its builder cut
the dyno at 5,900 RPMs. The result was an engine that, although it
topped out at 586 horsepower and 530 lb./ft. of torque on paper,
could very well be a 600 horsepower mill. At the top of the
professionally assembled motor, dual Edelbrock 4-barrels, flowing
600cfm each, dump air and fuel into a lightweight aluminum intake.
That intake feeds CNC-ported heads, which stack body-matched valve
covers on chromoly pushrods, Manley Beehive springs and titanium
retainers. Beneath those heads, a Comp hydraulic roller cam helps
create stout 10.3 to 1 compression. That compression gets sparked
by pliable FireCore wires, which are sequenced to hot MSD ignition.
Spent gases exit through stainless long-tube headers. Cooling comes
courtesy of a custom, double-pass Performance Rod & Custom
radiator, which is teamed with two SPAL puller fans. Lubrication is
provided by a high performance Melling oil pump, which siphons a
deep Milodon pan. And the car's body-matched engine bay looks great
under billet hood supports.
POWER AND ATHLETICISM
Behind that premium engine, body-matched floors center a tough SFI
scattershield in front of a modern Tremec 5-speed. That
transmission kicks a spry Dana 60 rear axle that's finished with a
Sure Grip differential and big, 3.73 gears. That drivetrain pushes
a full XV Racing suspension that cages quality Hyperco coil-overs
in beefy sway bars. Turns come courtesy of power rack-and-pinion
steering. Hydratech-boosted Baer calipers cinch a quartet of
drilled and slotted rotors to manage speed. There's a pair of
welded subframe connectors that ensure the massaged Hemi isn't at
odds with the car's menacing body. A thrill-inducing soundtrack
fills ceramic-coated, large-diameter pipes that thread coated
Magnaflow mufflers. And at the corners of the chassis, handsome
Fikse wheels spin 275/35ZR18 BF Goodrich g-Force T/As in front of
295/35ZR18 BF Goodrich g-Force T/As.
CUSTOMIZED COMFORT
Open this E-Body's solid doors and you'll find an attractive
leather interior that's blessed with just the right amount of
modification. Tall bucket seats join a factory bench in stretching
sturdy RJS harnesses across full power adjustment for the driver
and front passenger. In front of those thrones, a leather-wrapped
dash hangs familiar Auto Meter telemetry in a carbon fiber
instrument panel, which looks great above modern air conditioning
and modern Kenwood audio. Below that dash, fade-free carpet floats
'Cuda-themed floor mats around a Hurst Pistol Grip Shifter. At the
sides of that rug, upgraded door panels seat monochromatic Clarion
kick speakers in front of power-operated windows. The driver spins
an elegant, Barracuda-branded steering wheel around a tilting
column. And behind the passengers, a clean trunk anchors massive
Kenwood subwoofers between requisite Kenwood amplifiers.
The true beauty of a classic car is that it can be anything you
want it to be. Love original lines, but want a little more
substance? Looking for some killer metal that'll wow crowds AND
tear up the roads? Here it is, no compromises, no disclaimers and
no excuses!
