When you have a build approaching six-figures (and we have the
receipt to prove it) you get a serious muscle machine. That's why
this 1973 Plymouth 'Cuda is out to smoke them all with a powerful
V8 delivering 450+ hp to the rear wheels! So look over all the
upgrades that make this real-deal 'Cuda such a street-eating
machine.
When it comes to Mopars, we all know a 'Cuda is king. It only gets
better when it's finished in a slick black that was an upgrade
later in life. Plus, you have twin scoops in the true fresh air
hood and the kick-up in the profile to really give this a sporty
look. It all ends with a spoiler and quad taillights surrounded by
bright trim and the expertly integrated bumper. And of course,
these later 'Cudas were known for the awesome red grille accents
that look like the glowing eyes of a hungry wolf. And those red
brake calipers peeking out from the custom painted Weld racing
wheels have the same aggressive attitude.
Another glowing piece is how the white interior radiates against
the black exterior. It's a period-correct setup that gives you the
bright white on the high back bucket seats, broad door panels, and
headliner. But the carpeting remains a dark black, so you don't
have to worry about taking your shoes off before hopping in for a
drive. And this was really made with the driver in mind by the way
all of the components are formed around you. There's a form-fitting
center console with T-bar "Slap Stick" shifter, and the famous Tuff
three-spoke sports steering wheel (power steering) gives you a
fantastic view of the gauge panel. Plus, it has been upgraded to a
Kenwood AM/FM/CD stereo with Bluetooth. But we really know your
favorite soundtrack begins under the hood.
The included receipts will show you there was a ton $$$$$ invested
in the engine bay over the last few years. This 505 cubic-inch V8
is larger than anything that came from the factory, and this is a
from the performance masters at Hughes Engines. This stout V8 has
all the right upgrades, including Trick Flow aluminum heads, MSD
Blaster SS ignition, serpentine belts, racing mechanical fuel pump,
forged valve covers, and an HD radiator to help keep it running
cool. It inhales deeply with an Edelbrock tri-power setup, and it
exhales with authority as TTI ceramic-coated long tube headers feed
the thunderous dual X-pipe exhaust. It's a serious power package,
and so that means the already stout Torqueflite A727 three-speed
automatic is upgraded with a Street Smart package. This feeds a
reinforced Dana 60 limited-slip rear end with 3.73 gears. And those
wide drag radials help deliver the dyno-proven 458 hp to the
asphalt! With this much power, the suspension needs serious
upgrades, too. That's why you have a new front subframe with
tubular A-arms, and the rear now has a four-link setup with
diagonal reinforcement. Plus, behind every wheel are adjustable
colivers and Wilwood drilled & slotted disc brakes.
The sale comes complete with owner's manual, build receipts, and
the dyno sheet. This is a serious speed machine where the upgrades
go well-beyond the monster motor. It's an awesome 'Cuda that you
know needs to live in your garage. Call today!!!
