Vehicle Description
The Hemi 'Cuda may very well sit at the top of the muscle car food
chain and this stunning 1973 Plymouth Hemi 'Cuda tribute delivers
in every way that matters: loads of power from a 528 cubic inch
Hemi V8, a 5-speed manual gearbox, gorgeous paint, and an updated
interior. Quite honestly, they just don't come much nicer than
this.
This is one of those cars that really needs a personal visit before
you truly understand how nice it is, and if you're buying
sight-unseen, please rest assured that this one is even better than
it appears in photos. Gorgeous Sublime Green isn't this car's
original color, of course, but few finishes look better on the
venerable E-body and when it's executed to this level, exactly
nobody is going to complain. Experts will note that a unique '71
nose has been seamlessly grafted onto the '73 bodywork, further
enhancing the illusion. The sheetmetal is laser straight and you
can see how good the panel alignment is in the photos, and with the
HEMI billboards on the quarters, you know it had to be right. The
Shaker hood looks cool and the Go-Wing out back should have been
standard equipment, because 'Cudas look naked without them. Hood
pins, fog lamps, and proper 'Cuda badges were all reinstalled once
the paint was dry and a color-matched Endura-Flex front bumper is
the right choice. This is just an awesome-looking car in every
way.
At first glance, the interior looks stock, but once you're behind
the wheel you'll realize that those modern bucket seats are wrapped
in black leather, not vinyl, and the factory Tuff Wheel got its own
set of hides, too. New carpets, fresh door panels, and a
pistol-grip shifter all give the car a correct look, with only the
monster tachometer on the column giving away the performance under
the hood. A JVC AM/FM/CD stereo system lives in the original
radio's slot in the dash, and powers big 6x9 speakers on the rear
package tray. There's also A/C, which uses the factory vents for a
clean look and performance is impressive thanks to modern hardware
working behind the scenes. The trunk is quite clean and tidy with a
custom enclosure for the subwoofers still leaving plenty of room
for your gear.
The engine is a snarling Keith Black 528 cubic inch HEMI V8 with an
aluminum block, and if you've been longing for a 'Cuda that can
accelerate like a rocket, this one fits the bill. With a long list
of modifications, it delivers the neck-snapping performance for
which the Hemi was justifiably famous... and then some! The engine
was built for combat and features Keith Black pistons, a lumpy cam,
and a long list of upgrades that add up to 646 horsepower at 6100
RPM. Yeah, it's nasty. With the curb weight of a small block it
handles exceptionally well and it cackles and snarls thanks to
ceramic-coated long-tube headers and a custom 3-inch dual exhaust
system. And while you're looking around under there, check out the
floors, which are as beautifully finished as the bodywork, making
it look highly detailed. The 5-speed transmission makes the 528
easy to live with on the highway and powers a Dana 60 rear end.
Gorgeous 15-inch aluminum wheels have a vintage drag race look and
carry modern 235/70/15 front and 275/60/15 rear BFGoodrich T/A
radials.
This is an extremely impressive car in every possible way and comes
with receipts and a dyno sheet to back up the performance claims.
This is a no-compromises 'Cuda that's ready to drive and enjoy.
