Just inspected and certified May 9th with The Wise Cuda Validation
Report. David Wise inspected this car in person and has verified it
is 1 of the original 368 Hemi automatics made! The 82 page report
will be included with the car.
EXTERIOR: David Wise said that this is at least a 50 grand paint
job. The body is absolutely straight, it fits square and flush. No
rust, damage or problem areas. It has the very desirable shaker
hood. Painted high impact Lemon Twist yellow and it is like glass.
I did not find a flaw. It's decked out with the black hockey stick
Hemi stripes, racing mirrors and a rear spoiler. Up front the
bumper is rechromed, it has factory road lamps and the grill is in
mint condition. The hood pins are new, the antenna is original. The
stainless moldings are all straight. In back the bumper was
rechromed. It has a blacked out tail panel. The vinyl top looks
new. The windshield was replaced The 15 inch rallye wheels are in
mint condition and they have correct ptolyglass reproduction
tires.
INTERIOR: Right now I'm sitting inside a very nice interior. The
dash pad is in mint shape, there's no splits. It has the rallye
gauges, all in excellent shape. The instrument panel and heater
controls all look good. It has a factory AM/FM radio. No cracks in
the factory wheel. The seats have been reupholstered, carpet
replaced, the door panels look mint. It has a very good original
console with the slapstick shifter. Overhead is a new headliner,
dome light works. It has a complete set of original seat belts.
ENGINE COMPARTMENT: Yes, it's a Hemi! It has a period correct 426
Hemi making 425 hp. Factory dual quad setup on top hiding under the
big ram air scoop. It was upgraded with a set of headers.
Everything else looks stock and detailed. Crinkle finish valve
covers, reproduction hoses and clamps. The overflow bottle, washer
bottle, horns, alternator, pulleys, wiper motor all look excellent.
It has power steering. It also has the heavy duty cooling with it's
original components. This includes a 26 inch diameter radiator, fan
shroud and a power steering cooler. The hidden VIN number on the
core support and the cowl both match the car. The engine bay is
beautifully painted.
TRUNK COMPARTMENT: Under the trunk lid, the jamb and inside is all
painted gloss yellow. It has a collapsible spare tire with the
Chrysler air bottle and the jack assembly. New mat, weatherstrip
and decal.
UNDERSIDE: The steering and suspension looks like it's been
rebuilt. It has a custom fat exhaust with electric cutouts and
Flowmaster type mufflers. It appears to be rock solid floors, frame
rails and rockers. The fuel system has been replaced. Hemi
suspension included heavy duty springs, torsion bars, shocks and
sway bar. Looking up at the motor it's spotless. The 727
Torqueflite transmission has been serviced, the pan looks new. High
performance axle package with a Dana 60 heavy duty rear end and
3.54 Sure Grip gears. It's been serviced to, the cover has been
replaced.
SERVICE: We inspected the car and repaired the temp gauge,
tightened steering box bolts and replaced a road lamp bulb.
A Hemi Cuda is one of the most desirable and sought after muscle
cars made. This one here is a sound investment, you know what
you're getting with the 82 page Wise Report!
I, Jay Grams, take pride in personally writing the descriptions for
virtually every car for about the last 30 years now. A significant
amount of effort goes into fact checking. What I am offering is my
professional impression of the vehicle.
Our salesmen are happy to assist with descriptions and making sure
your questions are answered. One great suggestion is letting us do
a walk around video that explains the car's condition in
detail.
