Vehicle Description
This 1972 Plymouth Cuda 340 Tribute Restomod has a style all of its
own. That's a good thing considering it also has a Jeff Kerns built
performance V8 that keeps this Mopar growling. So dig into the
details on a coupe that's vintage, upgraded, and absolutely
awesome.
If this coupe has the straight and clean look of something quite
fresh, that's because its restoration was completed this summer and
there have been less than 25 miles on the odometer since then.
There were thousands $$$$$ invested making sure this 'Cuda tribute
looked and felt correct. The paint was a $8,500 investment all on
its own... and it's absolutely worth it. This is Plymouth's famous
Lemon Twist from the High Impact color palette. It's the kind of
finish we love, and so it's nice to see they also added it to the
bumpers and rear spoiler for a custom look. The bright yellow also
makes for an ideal contrast for all the black accenting. The dark
grille and hood scoops add plenty of intimidation. The same goes
for the blackout rear panel. The classic black hockey stick stripe
shows off some of our favorite curves of this coupe, and the modern
18-inch Ridler black alloys really announces there's more to this
car than just vintage appeal.
All the dark hints of the exterior also get you ready for the full
black interior. It all has the clean and crisp look that's another
reminder about the big investments in this coupe. This has all the
classic Mopar elements you love, like the high-back bucket seats, a
center console built around the driver, and a dual-spoke sports
steering wheel. But the full round Rally gauge panel now has new
and clear Dakota Digital gauges. It's a sure sign of more great
upgrades. So while this has an AM/FM/CD stereo, you really can tell
that your favorite soundtrack will originate from under the
hood.
The engine bay is smooth, clean, and painted the exterior-matching
bold yellow. And the V8 in the middle has a nice stock look, right
down to the factory air topper. We would all be happy with the
advertised 340 four-barrel motor, but soon you'll discover
something far more wicked. It's actually a full performance build
by the masters at Kerns Motor Builders. It starts with a larger 360
cubic-inch V8 and it has been stoked to 408ci total. It was built
to be a stout powerhouse, and there's now an Edelbrock four-barrel
carburetor and intake on top. There are even quality supporting
pieces like an MSD ignition and dual remote oil filters with
pressure gauge. The full package is estimated at a street-eating
425 horsepower, and the TTI dual exhaust has the deep tones to let
people really know not to mess with this one. You have full control
over this big power package now that the three-speed transmission
features a TCI reverse manual body. It also has a lightened
flywheel and small stall converter. This feeds a rebuilt limited
slip rear end. The suspension was beefed up for the performance
package, and you also have power brakes with discs up front and the
grip of modern sport tires. It all makes for a solid and speedy
total package.
The sale comes complete with the factory buildsheet, restoration
photos, and about $20k in recent build receipts. This is a wild
'Cuda that's ready for you to tame it. Call now!
