Pro touring powerhouse! Rotisserie restoration! 1971 Lemon Twist
'Cuda tribute has got the recipe for success with a smoking hot 500
stroker crate engine under the hood, pistol grip 5-speed manual,
plus an abundance of suspension upgrades that will have you
frosting your undies when cutting the corners. Hope you have an
appetite for speed!
EXTERIOR: Contemporary spin on a classic! It was taken down to a
bare shell to be worked from every angle. The restorer claimed this
car was 100% rust free. The bumpers have been smoothed and painted
body color. The front grille was also painted body color and "fish
gills" were added to the fenders. The matte black Shaker hood scoop
and rear go wing really enhance the profile. The hood pins, 440
billboard callouts, and blacked out tail panel with 'Cuda emblem
look really tough. The headlights and taillights are in fantastic
condition. The glass appears to be original with a tint applied.
The chrome accents have a lustrous shine. Looking down the side of
the body you will see smooth contours and crisp lines. The doors
close easily with minimal effort. The Lemon Twist paint is a
classic high impact color that certainly makes a statement. It is
equipped with dual sport mirrors. She's rolling on a modern version
of the classic Mopar Rallye wheels that are 18" U.S. Mags. They are
wrapped in BFGoodrich Radial tires that are a little fatter in the
back.
INTERIOR: Beautifully refinished! All the seats have been
reupholstered with matching vinyl. The handy center console with
storage features a very cool pistol grip 5 speed manual shifter. A
controller for the electronic fuel injection is easily accessible.
The custom stereo has amazing sound quality and bass thanks to the
highly upgraded JL Audio speakers. It also has a chrome tilt
steering column and aftermarket leather wrapped wheel with a nice
fat grip. The custom gauge bezel houses an array of Auto Meter
gauges monitoring all the vitals. It also has extra air vents under
the dash and modern climate control knobs that operate smoothly.
The headliner, dash pad, and carpeting were all replaced. The side
panels and door panels were also replaced but retain their original
handles and levers that are in good shape. The driver's door panel
has a remote mirror control and a few insignificant scratches. The
dome light is working.
ENGINE COMPARTMENT: Half the fun is opening the shaker hood! Under
the functioning ram air scoop is a 500 cubic inch Mopar Performance
stroker crate engine generating about 600 horsepower. The ensemble
is topped off with an Edelbrock Weber Pro-Flo fuel injection system
for turnkey reliability. It is flanked by a set of Heddman Hedders
and equipped with air conditioning, power steering, and power
brakes. Additionally, it was upgraded with Edelbrock aluminum
heads, a hydraulic clutch, full MSD ignition, billet serpentine
front runner system, and aluminum radiator with dual electric fans.
The underside of the hood, fenderwells, and firewall are all nicely
painted body color. What a pretty powerplant!
TRUNK COMPARTMENT: Under the trunk lid and jamb are nicely painted
just like the body. The weatherstrip was replaced. The battery was
relocated to the trunk and has a nice billet aluminum hold down.
There is a custom speaker enclosure with a large amplifier and
subwoofer by JL Audio.
UNDERSIDE: Highly upgraded and flipped on a rotisserie! The front
k-member has been replaced and upgraded with rack & pinion
steering, tubular control arms, coilover adjustable gas shocks,
plus a big fat swaybar. Out back it has a 4 link setup with
adjustable QA1 coilover gas shocks and tubular torsion bars. The
brakes were upgraded to disc at all 4 wheels with slotted rotors
and a custom e-brake assembly. The stainless-steel exhaust is also
upgraded with headers, an x-pipe, Magnaflow mufflers, and
rectangular tips exiting through the rear valance. The gas tank was
replaced and it also has an external electric fuel pump with all
new lines too. Looking up at the 500 cubic inch engine it has a
high torque starter and a Milodon extra capacity oil pan. The
upgraded Tremec 5 speed manual transmission also looks fresh with a
heavy duty scatter shield and a hydraulic clutch. It has a strong
and lightweight aluminum driveshaft that transfers power back to a
9 inch rear end with 3.89 posi gears and Currie axles. The floors
are solid and rust free with neatly applied body colored paint.
SERVICE: We ran this car through our state of the art shop and
repaired the interior light switch, repaired the fuel sending unit,
repaired the rear coilovers, and replaced the battery.
Totally sweet, not sour! With a highly upgraded Pro Touring
suspension and a raging 500 stroker under the hood, this Lemon
Twist 'Cuda will leave you with a good taste in your mouth!
For nearly 30 years, I, Jay Grams, have personally written the
highlights for almost every car in our collection. What I provide
is my professional opinion based on my experience with these
vehicles. However, opinions can vary, and I strongly recommend a
personal inspection to form your own view. Our sales team is always
available to answer any questions you may have. One great option is
to request a personalized walk-around video, where we can showcase
the car and share our team's insights. **Our cars are displayed
within a museum setting. If you are interested in a specific
vehicle, please schedule an appointment with a salesperson to view
it. Without an appointment, there is an admission fee to enter the
showroom. If you decide to purchase a car, your admission will be
refunded, and you'll receive a one-year museum membership.
