Vehicle Description
The Hemi 'Cuda may very well sit at the top of the muscle car food
chain and this stunning 1971 Plymouth 'Cuda HEMI Restomod delivers
in every way that matters: loads of power from a 528 cubic inch
HEMI V8, a 4-speed manual gearbox, sinister black paint, and an
updated luxury interior. Quite honestly, they just don't come much
nicer than this, and with only 10 miles on the entire build it's
the very definition of BRAND-NEW.
Gorgeous Code TX9 Formal Black is in fact this car's original
color, which is a heck of a find in-and-of itself, and few finishes
look better on the venerable E-body and when it's executed to this
high level, exactly nobody is going to complain. The paint is
basecoat/clearcoat and it looks like gallons after gallons were
dumped onto this Mopar, leaving a deep luster that's a little
difficult to capture in photos, although it's pretty easy to see
the reflection of our showroom in this car's flanks. Experts will
note that '71 nose is one of Mopar's best designs ever, frequently
swapped-in during the construction of later 'Cuda and Challenger
restorations, and when coupled with that iconic front grille,
blacked-out bumpers, and LED headlights, the front end of this car
is downright scary. The sheetmetal is laser straight and you can
see how good the panel alignment is in the photos, and with all
that real estate on the quarters, you know it had to be right. The
double-scoop hood looks cool and the color-matched vinyl roof up
top should have been standard equipment, because 'Cudas look naked
without them. Chrome fender 'gills', fog lamps, and blacked-out
bumpers fore and aft were all installed to complement the slick,
and the result is so tough Batman would drive this car. This is
just an awesome-looking car in every way.
At first glance, the interior might look mostly stock, but once
you're behind the wheel you'll realize that those modern bucket
seats are wrapped in high-end materials with suede insert off-sets,
and the aftermarket steering wheel atop a tilt column got its own
set of hides as well, along with a Mopar horn ring in the center.
New carpets, fresh door panels with 'Cuda badges, and a pistol-grip
shifter inside the custom tailored center console all give the car
a killer look that's close enough to stock that even the snobbiest
of enthusiasts can feel comfortable inside. The carbon fiber gauge
bezel ahead of the driver is full of digital/analog AutoMeter
units, the digital control panel for Sniper EFI system is just to
the right of the steering wheel, and the rest of the dash features
a freshly upholstered up top and a carbon fiber inlays below. A
Kenwood multi-media stereo system that includes the back-up camera
feed lives inside the custom console, and it powers a competition
level sound system with speakers and subwoofers throughout the
cabin and trunk. There's also A/C, which uses the factory vents for
a clean look, a taut headliner above, and the plush carpets below
are protected with 'Cud floor mats. The beautifully finished trunk
is quite clean and tidy with a custom enclosure for the subwoofers
still leaving plenty of room for your gear.
The engine is a snarling 528 cubic inch HEMI V8 with nothing more
than a few break-in miles under its belt, and if you've been
longing for a 'Cuda that can accelerate like a rocket, this one
fits the bill. With a long list of modifications, it delivers the
neck-snapping performance for which the Hemi was justifiably
famous... and then some! The engine was built for combat and
features a Holley Sniper EFI system up top, a billet serpentine
belt system, a lumpy cam inside, and a long list of upgrades that
add up to huge horsepower and torque production. Yeah, it's nasty.
With the curb weight of a small block it handles exceptionally well
and it cackles and snarls thanks to ceramic-coated long-tube
headers and a custom H-pipe dual exhaust system with Flowmaster
mufflers. And while you're looking around under there, check out
the floors, which are as beautifully finished as the bodywork,
along with the 100% upgraded suspension with performance components
everywhere you look. Wilwood power 4-wheel disc brakes stop the car
on a dime, power steering flicks the car in and out of corners with
ease, and adjustable coilovers at each corner help set the killer
stance. The 4-speed transmission makes the 528 easy to live with
and powers a heavy-duty rear end that handles all that added power
with ease. Gorgeous staggered Foose wheels have a slick modern look
but don't take away from the vintage feel of this restomod, and
they carry 245/40/18 front and 305/35/20 rear Mickey Thompson
performance radials.
This is an extremely impressive car in every possible way and it's
basically on been driven in and out of trailers. This is a
no-compromises 'Cuda that's ready to drive and enjoy today, and
will be dropping jaws for years to come. Call now!
