Car Simply Is Not Giving It Enough Credit... Simply, the lowest
mile Cuda on the planet. This is an amazing all correct all
original and all number 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 of 1970 by Bill
Reardon from Clarksburg, West Virginia. Reardon was finally buying
dream car at 62 years old. One of the last ten Hemi Cudas built in
1970, it was exactly as he imagined it; Tor-Red exterior with black
interior, torqueflite automatic transmission shaker hood with tie
downs, and a color-matching steel wheels with dog-dish hubcaps and
Goodyear Polyglass GT tires. Reardon named it True Grit. Reardon
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 wheel 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 that he
owned it. Since then, it has been moved enough to take the odometer
to its present reading of 86 miles. Today, it is the textbook
definition of a time capsule; unmolested, original, and superb
verification of the numbers and codes for Hemi lovers!
