Vehicle Description
The 1970 Plymouth Cuda is already part of muscle car royalty, but
this one shows you what it's like to be a king. It's an exceptional
restoration/transformation that gives you the dual-quad 426 Hemi
and the control of four-on-the-floor. And while the growl of this
one is pure intimidation, the level of authenticity inside and out
makes this meticulously restored coupe absolutely charming.
In 1970, Chevrolet basically made as many Chevelle Super Sports in
one day as there were Hemi 426 Cudas in total. It's nearly
impossible to find a verified one today, and so that's why a
carefully crafted tribute like this is so sought-after. It takes a
real-deal 'Cuda, and it has been given a nut-and-bolt level
restoration. They made sure the original sheet metal and its gap
tolerances went beyond factory standards and every detail was
sweated. The results are stunning. More than any other Mopar we've
recently seen, this Limelight paint lives up to its High Impact
color name. And if you know Mopars, you'll get excited about the
level of detail. All the glass is crystal clear; the tiny
aggressive red streak in the grille is bright; the rocker panels
are correct; and even the rear bumper fits so well that it
showcases how it was an integral part of Plymouth's design. And
this one has all the best Mopar muscle features like the iconic
shaker hood, hood pins, and Rallye wheels with raised white letter
tires. Plus, the rear shows off the coupe's dark side with the Hemi
hockey stick fender stripe, blackout panel, and full-width spoiler.
It all makes for the kind of style that's award-worthy even before
they look under the hood.
Just like the exterior, there was a heavy investment inside to make
sure it is fresh, pristine, and correct. The full black package
looks good with the plush loop carpeting, smooth upholstery, taut
headliner, smooth dash, and clean door panels. But what just might
impress you the most are the little things. The dome light greets
you when the door opens, the wood-like trim is smooth, and the AM
radio is still cranking out tunes. The factory air conditioning
controls are even converted to modern R134a refrigerant (it likely
needs a recharge to blow ideally cold.). And these Cudas loved to
surround the driver. You have a high-back bucket seat, and this is
a center console car with the iconic Hurst pistol-grip shifter
molded into the contoured setup. The three-spoke sports steering
wheel (power steering) has thin spokes to give you a good view of
the A62 Rallye Instrument Cluster Package with the important tach
prominently in the center.
The engine bay has an awesome sense of power and style. Underneath
that big, bright shaker is the 426 cubic-inch Hemi V8 with dual
four-barrel carburetors. The level of detail fits with the
meticulous nature of the rest of the car. That's why you see
amazing paint in the engine bay mixed with the correct factory
decals. In fact, we invite you to look at all the photos,
especially the undercarriage ones. The bright and clean look of the
components is amazing, and the level of paint quality under there
is better than some classics get on the hood. So it looks like
there is even less mileage and time on this build than its low
since built mileage history suggests. And while the details are
amazing, don't forget that this is a true driver's machine. The big
V8 fires up with an authority-commanding growl, and the A833
four-speed gives you full command of the Hemi's power and
thunderous soundtrack.
This true Cuda has been transformed into an award-worthy
representation of the almighty 426 Hemi coupe. If you're a Mopar
fan, it's time to get excited. Call today!!!
