Vehicle Description
1973 Plymouth Modified Cuda'
What Is Special About This Car
The Plymouth Cuda' was a two-door car that was manufactured by
Plymouth from the 1964 to 1974 model years.
The third-generation 1970 to 1974 E-body Cuda' was a completely new
design that was shared with the Dodge Challenger and available in
hardtop and convertible body styles.
The Plum Crazy Purple Cuda with the black 440 billboard on the side
we have at Skyway Classics is a perfect example of what
modifications was done to muscle cars back in the 60s and 70s. It
has been restored in such a fashion to exceed all the performance
and visual limits that it had as a factory stock Cuda'.
Mechanical
The engine is always the heart and soul of any muscle car, and this
engine is by far a lot more powerful than a stock one back in
1973.
The much modified engine started out its life as a 440 cubic inch
engine but now is punched out to a huge 513 cubic inches and
contains a plethora of horsepower adding parts such as a
performance cam and kit, aluminum Mod Man intake, performance
Holley carb, MSD ignition and box, reworked fuel supply system,
custom performance twin open-air cleaner box and system, serpentine
belt system, performance heads, big tube headers, aluminum valve
covers, chrome battery box, huge custom aluminum radiator, and much
more.
All that power transfers to the rear with a H.D. 6 speed
Transmission and Mopar rear end. The exhaust note is great through
the performance mufflers and the ride is great also with the
chassis and suspension redone.
Interior
The superb black bucket seat interior is stock appearing with the
addition of few modifications like the carbon fiber inserts on the
dash and console, aftermarket performance gauges, purple Cuda'
logos on the floor mats, and purple seat belts.
The rear seat and door panels remain stock appearing as does the
black carpet and headliner, the black sport steering wheel, and it
has the famous "Pistol Grip" shifter mounted in the factory black
floor console.
Exterior
The body lines on this Cuda look better than they did back in 1973
and the purple paint shines and glistens in the light. A matte
black "billboard" decal is planted on both sides on the rear
quarter panel and proclaims this Cuda is powered by a "440" cubic
inch engine.
If that doesn't warn you the custom flush mount front grill hidden
headlights, hood scoops, rear spoiler, and twin racing mirrors
will.
The Cuda rides on custom black mag wheels and fat performance tires
and the stopping power is supplies by Wilwood disc brakes.
Conclusion
Sometimes being reserved is good, but that is not the case on the
1973 Plymouth Cuda we have at Skyway Classics.
If you do not want to be noticed, do not buy this car. It draws
attention with not only its looks but it can back up those looks,
sound and performance too.
