Vehicle Description

1970 Plymouth Hemi CudaTHE LOWEST MILEAGE HEMI CUDA ON THE PLANET!!UNRESTORED WITH 86 ORIGINAL MILES!! - Simply, the lowest mile Cuda on the planet, period with 84 historically and highly documented miles. This is an amazing all correct, all original and all numbers matching Tor Red Hemi Cuda with a significant racing history to boot. It was special-ordered and purchased new at Shreves Plymouth-Dodge in June 1970 by Bill Reardon of Clarksburg, West Virginia, who was finally buying his dream car at 62 years of age. One of the last ten Hemi Cudas built in 1970, it was exactly as he imagined it: Tor Red with a black interior; Torqueflite automatic transmission; Shaker hood with tie downs and color-matching steel wheels with dog-dish hub caps and Goodyear Polyglas GT tires. He named it True Grit. Bill immediately began modifying True Grit to get her ready for the drag strip: removing the intake and carburetors, the complete exhaust system, rear end, rear wheels and tires and front shocks. He replaced all these with the best performance parts available, while carefully stowing the originals in safe storage. In his first season racing True Grit, Bill would make approximately 30 passes at three local drag strips with times occasionally dipping into the high 10-second range. Sadly, that would be his one and only season as Bill suddenly passed away. When his widow passed in 1977, the couple?s son sold the car and all the original parts to Marvin Dillion, who, after returning it to its original configuration at 42 miles, drove it less than a single mile in the 16 years he owned it. The car passed through three more caring owners before renowned Hemi specialist John Arruza of Thomasville, North Carolina, purchased it with 61 miles on the odometer. Arruza performed his magic on the car, refreshing it after its years of storage with a complete fluid change and tune-up and overhauling its carburetion system so that it once again performed as new. Arruza drove the car to 73 miles in the process of refining the car?s state of tune. Since then it has been moved enough to take the odometer to its present reading of 81 miles. Today, it is the textbook definition of a time capsule; unmolested, original and in superb condition, with documentation that includes the factory broadcast sheet and a recorded verification of the numbers and codes?for Hemi lovers, its the Holy Grail!!!
