Evolve Motors and Chicago Car Club are pleased to present this 1970
Plymouth �Cuda! This is not your ordinary Mopar. Coming off a fresh
restoration in 2015 this car was built to it's factory options and
specification and looks amazing. The best part is that while it
retains all of her original driveline and engine, it has a freshly
built motor. The original block is bored .60 over and a 4" stroker
crank bring the displacement up to 416 cid. This Hemi/6-pack eating
monster absolutely rips while retaining it's original facade. The
car sounds incredible and is once of the most enjoyable cars to
drive. Exterior: This �Cuda looks great wearing a fresh coat of its
original Lime Green Metallic paint. Paint work appears to have been
done to a high standard; green has a nice deep glow and the slight
metallic sparkle of the finish gives the car a great shine. The
black hockey-stick stripe does well to accentuate the car's
muscular lines and contrasts beautifully with the green metallic
paint, as do the originally optioned Magnum 500 wheels. The car
underwent a very thorough restoration in 2015, so the overwhelming
majority of the car is in like-new condition. There are no dents,
dings, or scratches to be found anywhere on the car. All chrome is
intact and very well presented. Panel fitment is good. Interior:
This car was originally spec'd with a dark green interior, which
was swapped out for a new black leather interior during the
restoration. We think the black looks fantastic and, though not
original, is a welcomed change. Interior presents as new and
carries the smell of fresh carpet and vinyl. Seats are free of any
cracks or scratches in the slightest. Carpeting is new. Door
panels, dash, headliner, and steering wheel are mint. The only part
of the interior that doesn't appear new are the gauges; which show
some slight patina but look fabulous. Radio is the correct Chrysler
Solid State unit, and a USB plug-in has been fitted on the
underside of the dash. Odometer reads 36,366 though with the amount
of work that's been done (keep reading...) is somewhat irrelevant.
Mechanical: In 2015 the car had a full engine build, to the tune of
nearly $9,000. Please see the photos, as the receipt from Matt's
Motor Worx in Minnesota is documented. All features function
properly. The cars braking system is all rebuilt, as are most of
the mechanicals. All bushings and wearables all show nicely, as you
would expect. The carb is tuned nicely and it runs great. The
transmission shifts nice and crisp. The car is wonderful to drive
and makes amazing smooth power plus it sounds fantastic! Underbody:
As evidenced in the photos, the underbody is quite nice. There is
no through rust of any sort. All casting numbers are clearly
visible and components show very little wear. We notice a dent in
the right forward rail that was left alone when restored. The car
is properly finish underneath and looks outstanding up in the air
as you can see in our pictures. Overall: This is a sharp looking,
fully-sorted example of one of the Mopar greats. It has the
menacing muscle car appearance, performance, and sound, all while
remaining elegant with its understated color. The 416 built motor
is ready to walk all over any big block you put next to it. These
cars are aging very well; with the recent restoration, this one
just got a second lease on life and will be enjoyed for many, many
more years. Walkaround Video:
