1970 426 Horsepower Hemi Cuda.

THIS IS THE VERY FIRST HEMI CUDA BUILT.BUILD DATE IS AUGUST 1st 1969.IT WAS THE PILOT CAR.

The one engine that stands head and shoulders above the rest is the Chrysler Hemi. As a major part of history in American muscle cars of the late 1960s and early 1970s, Or indeed of any time, the Hemi was quite simply the most powerful production engine of its time.

Chrysler in particular had much to thank the Hemi for, because of its effect on the publics Perception of Chrysler muscle car was out of proportion to the numbers actually made. A clue to its secret lay in that name: Hemi was short for Hemispherical, indicating the use of a Half-sphere-shaped combustion chamber. It is now recognized that this shape allows more room for Larger ports and valves, and a higher compression ratio in relation to the size of the combustion Chamber. With higher volumetric efficiency than a comparable engine, a Chrysler Hemi breathes deep, And deep breathing is one of the holy grails in the search for high horsepower.

The 1st E-body, Hand built at Chrysler in Clare Point, Michigan. This Cuda was built to be used by Chrysler as a time study proto-type and was never suppose to make it out of Chrysler back in 1969.The debut of the Hemi E-body made a take-no-prisoners statement in November of that year. The 'Cuda had the requisite dual-quad 425hp Hemi engine, four-speed trans and Dana 60 rear-end with mild 3.54:1 gears. Basically, Hemi-Cudas and Challengers (Chrysler) were the quickest muscle cars you could buy off the showroom floor in 1970.. Chrysler built Cudas for looks and speed, The HemiCuda evolved from the Era of Americas love for fast cars and power to put the pedal down and let it go. The first, of Course, was the muscle car era that spanned from about 1962 to what was the end of the era with the Chrysler Street Hemi in 1971. The Hemi-powered E-body cars for the '70 and '71 model years were the Pinnacle of what a true muscle car is all about.

'Blood Muscle' auction to sell impressive collection of ill-begotten classic cars

Wed, 30 Jul 2014

The old saying goes that if you can't do the time, don't do the crime. But being a criminal can involve more than just taking a trip to the big house; it can also mean losing possessions purchased from any ill-gotten gains. Still, one man's loss is another's gain, and if you're in Lodi, NJ, on September 12, you stand the chance to buy some of the ultimate muscle cars from the US Marshals in what is being gruesomely nicknamed the Blood Muscle auction.
The grisly moniker was earned because all of the vehicles belonged to the president of a blood testing company who is facing prison time for alleged bribery, according to Hemmings. After all, they are muscle cars bought with actual blood money. The seven-vehicle collection includes some of the ultimate muscle cars ever made, and the original buyer clearly had an eye for rarity.
This cornucopia of V8 power includes a teal 1970 Ford Mustang Boss 429, a 1967 Shelby GT500 Mustang, an orange 1970 Plymouth Superbird, a 1970 Chevrolet Chevelle SS convertible and perhaps most prized of all - a trio of 1969 Yenko Chevys with a Chevelle, Nova and Camaro all represented. From the included photos, all of them look to be in fantastic condition.

US Marshal's classic muscle car auction officially in the books

Thu, 25 Sep 2014

The US Marshal's so-called Blood Muscle Auction was completed earlier this month, with the prestigious nine-car field (two cars were added following Autoblog's initial story, a 1970 Chevrolet Chevelle SS 454 and a rare, mid-restoration 1971 Plymouth Hemi 'Cuda) finding new and hopefully law-abiding owners.
While we'd normally recap the stars of the show, in this particular auction, every car's sale was newsworthy. The full list of sale prices doesn't seem to be published, but according to The New York Times, the auction brought in a total of $2.5 million, or an average of about $277,000 per car.
The king of the contest seems to be a 1970 Plymouth Superbird (above, right), complete with a 426-cubic-inch Hemi V8, which brought home $575,000. The trio of Yenko Chevys, meanwhile, all easily cleared the six-figure mark, with the Yenko Camaro (above, far right) clearing $315,000, the Chevelle crossing the block for $237,500 and the supremely rare - one of just 37 - Yenko Nova (shown above, left) selling for an even $400,000.

SRT belatedly claims Plymouth Prowler as one of its own

Wed, 19 Dec 2012

Before 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.
