1973 Pro Street Plymouth Cuda 671 Blower! on 2040-cars
New Port Richey, Florida, United States
|
1973 Plymouth Cuda Car started life as a 383 built in Hamtramck, MI This Cuda was built to be a fun car to drive to car shows and cruise ins. The body and styling are very 80’s. A lot of the work and restoration were done in the late 80s. As you can see from the photos I have tons of receipts for mostly all of the work done to this car. I can’t tell exactly when the body work and paint was done, but it was done right. The paint looks excellent and is in great shape. The roses on the quarter glass are etched into the glass, very nicely done. Everything works as it should with this car. Lights, brakes, power steering, gauges all work. I have the factory hood for the car painted the correct maroon color, it does not have a hole cut out for the blower. As for the interior, there are a few gauges in the car. Auto Meter water Temp, and Oil Pressure gauges mounted in the perfect spot under the dash next to the center console. Auto Meter Tach with shift light on top of the column. Fuel level gauge mounted in the center console for the fuel cell. Toggle switch on the dash is for the electric fans that powers off with the ignition. Bell Latch style lap belts. Radio isn’t anything special but works and FM reception is good. Overall the interior is in great shape. The front seats are comfortable and in excellent shape. The rear seats are in good shape as well. The package tray has been refinished and holds 2 aftermarket speakers. The headliner is also in good shape with no tears or sagging. The dash shows no problems or cracking,warping, or discoloring. The trunk holds the 10 gallon fuel cell, 20lb nitrous tank with gauge, battery, and fire extinguisher. The front and Rear bumpers are in good shape and show no signs of the chrome pitting or rusting. The Engine is a 360 with a 671 Hampton supercharger. It has two Holley 750 Carbs, the bodies of the carbs were powder coated red and all other parts were chromed. There is a lot of chrome bits and pieces everywhere under the hood. There was an extreme amount of attention to detail when this car went together. Most of the bolts and nuts under the hood have chrome or brass caps on them and wires are loomed and routed properly and neatly. The Hood hinges are chrome, the intake manifold is polished aluminum, the alternator is chrome, pulleys are chrome. The Nitrous plate kit was installed by someone who obviously knew what they were doing. All the lines are bent perfectly and are a beautiful sight. I was told when we got the car it had a 100 shot of nitrous. It has always been more of a show piece for us and we have not used the nitrous. There is a toggle switch in the center console with the fuel level gauge that is for the nitrous. The trans is a 727 automatic with slap stick shifter, it seems to have a little larger stall, Im thinking around the 3k range. The rear end is an 8-3/4, not sure what gear it is. The power steering is very smooth and the car runs well. It is not a handful to drive like I had first imagined it would be. It is a very easy car to drive and enjoy. Being in FL the only thing it needs is AC. This Cuda is a real step back in time. A lot of older hot rods have been torn down and resto modded for todays constantly changing trends, and that is what makes this car so cool, It is old school hot rodding at its best! I know I have forgot some things. Please ask any questions you may have. The car is for sale locally as well, so I reserve the right to end the auction at anytime. I welcome and encourage any one to come see the car before the auction ends. Please do not bid unless you intend to buy. Thank you! |

SRT belatedly claims Plymouth Prowler as one of its own
Wed, 19 Dec 2012Before Chrysler had Street and Racing Technology, it had Performance Vehicle Operations. What the two entities have in common, before SRT became its own brand, of course, is that each was created to take Chrysler and Dodge (and Plymouth, before it was unceremoniously killed off) vehicles to the next level of style and performance.
We'll leave the question of whether or not the old Plymouth (and later Chrysler) Prowler was ultimately a stylish, performance-oriented car to you, but the boys and girls currently leading the SRT charge at the Pentastar headquarters are keen to accept the retro-rod into the fold.
According to the automaker, all of SRT's current high-performance models owe a debt of gratitude to the old Prowler, due mostly to that car's use of lightweight bits and pieces and innovative construction techniques. If nothing else, the fact that the Prowler's frame is "the largest machined automotive part in history" is pretty cool. Read all the details here.
Barrett-Jackson 2014: 1970 Plymouth Hemi Superbird passes half a million dollars
Sat, 18 Jan 2014The Plymouth Superbird is one of those classic American cars from the muscle car era that has captured the imagination of all sorts of automotive enthusiasts long after its presence on roads and race tracks wore away. It's easy to see why. Where else but in the Swingin' Sixties and Seventies would a car leave the factory with an aerodynamics package that included a pointy beak and a rear spoiler that sat several feet above the rear deck?
The example you see above, which was born in 1970, is one of the finest Superbirds we've ever seen. Combine its complete restoration with its original 426 Hemi engine, and it's no surprise that it managed to bring in a cool half million dollars (plus 10 percent in fees) at Barrett-Jackson. See it yourself in our high-res image gallery above, and scroll down below for the official auction description.

'71 Plymouth Hemi Cuda Convertible sells for $3.5M [w/video]
Mon, 16 Jun 2014
We're plenty used to seeing classic cars selling for millions of dollars. It's just that they're usually European: Ferraris, Bugattis, Mercedes and the like. There are some rare American exceptions, usually wearing the names Duesenberg or Shelby. But what we have here is the most expensive Chrysler product ever sold at auction.
The vehicle in question is a Plymouth Barracuda - specifically a 1971 Hemi Cuda Convertible, chassis #BS27R1B315367 - that Mecum Auctions just sold after eight solid minutes of feverish bidding for a high bid of $3.5 million at its auction in Seattle, Washington. That figure positively eclipses the $2.2 million paid for a strikingly similar Hemi Cuda (chassis #BS27R1B269588) fetched nearly seven years ago in Scottsdale and another that was the first muscle car to break the million-dollar mark in 2002.
