In front of the vehicle, a classic black satin grille with orange trims and silver surrounds, complemented by sleek headlights on each side, greet us with an intimidating expression. Positioned below the grille are signal markers within the lower air opening, enhanced by elegant chrome accents and a streamlined bumper. The top of the lamps is adorned with a sporty hood featuring a Burnished Red Metallic finish and matching hood pins. The hood extends towards a flawless stainless-framed windshield, with chrome sport mirrors on each side and well-aligned gaps throughout the rear quarter. The sleek design is further accentuated by the deep Burnished Red Metallic paint that covers the sides and doors. Moving towards the back, a classic black valance houses the recognizable Plymouth quad of round tail lights and a 'Cuda badge. The rear bumper is seamlessly integrated below the valance, while a Burnished Red Metallic rear roll panel with dual chrome-tipped exhaust outlets adds to the overall aesthetic. Additionally, a satin black rear spoiler sits atop the trunk lid, completing the polished look of the car. At all four corners, beautifully polished chrome and black 15-inch Magnum 500 wheels are wrapped in 235/60R15 tires in the front and larger 275/60R15 tires in the rear.
The vehicle showcases high-quality door panels made of black molded vinyl in a showroom fashion, exuding a seamless appearance complemented by chrome 'Cuda badges. The interior also boasts two slim black vinyl high back bucket seats from the 1970s, equipped with integrated headrests, tuck and roll pattern inserts, and sleek bolsters. The rear bench seat upholds the same stylish design, presenting a nearly flawless finish. The entire interior is adorned with jet black carpeting, paired with 'Cuda red embroidered floor mats, creating a serene atmosphere. The dashboard has been meticulously restored, featuring a lineup of rally gauges set within a wood applique panel and a black padded dash top. Connecting the front seats is a center console in black vinyl and wood applique, showcasing a correct T-handle topped "Slap Stick" shifter knob. Completing the vintage aesthetic is a black-rimmed two-spoke drilled wheel with a design reminiscent of the "Michelin Man." Above this nostalgic display is a snug black vinyl headliner, adding a finishing touch to the overall 1970s theme.
The 360ci V8 engine is completely original, with matching numbers. The engine features a striking blue painted block, intake manifold, ribbed Mopar Performance valve covers with a black crinkle finish, and a 4-barrel carburetor hidden beneath an orange single snout air cleaner. At the rear of the vehicle is an A727 Torqueflite 3-speed automatic transmission that also matches the numbers of the engine. This transmission is accompanied by an 8-3/4 inch rear axle. Every component under the hood is accurate, including the air cleaner decal adorned with the 360 FOUR BARREL orange, white, and black badge.
With such meticulous attention to detail and quality in the restoration, one would anticipate nothing less than a sleek black sea covering the flooring, unibody, and rockers. Although slight surface rust is visible in some areas, overall structural integrity remains solid and robust. The fuel tank and exhaust system gleam in pristine silver steel, free of road debris and any signs of corrosion. All additional components are coated in elegant black, featuring independent front torsion bars, rear leaf springs, and the notable inclusion of rack and pinion power steering. The vehicle is equipped with power front disc brakes and power rear drums to ensure controlled stopping power. The undercarriage presents a stunningly near-perfect appearance, inviting enthusiasts to bring a mirror to showcase trophies and marvel at this exceptional restoration job.
After conducting a test drive, we were highly impressed with the vehicle. The power curve seemed never-ending, the shifting was smooth, and the handling was excellent. The classic car boasts 360 cubic inches and is equipped with a 3-speed automatic transmission, all presented in a flawless Burnished Red Metallic paint with satin black accents. It truly embodies the essence of a muscle car.
