Here is my 1970 Plymouth 'Cuda. This was an original 383 4 bbl "N" code California car. 95% RUST FREE California Car. The previous owner purchased the car in California and brought it back to the Midwest for an complete restoration over 15 years ago including stripping it down to bare metal and complete repaint in original RED with hockey stick 383 decal package (this is one of the straightest CUDA's I have ever seen -- IT it beautiful!), He replaced the engine with a brand new Muscle Motors 500 CI stroker engine less than 2000 miles ago in 07 (see Muscle Motors order in pics) (Over $10K and around 600 hp!! -- YES IT RUNS GREAT ON PREMIUM 92-93 PUMP FUEL - 10.8 to 1 compression!!! You can also go to 11.8 compression with different head gaskets)). In addition, the original Pistol Grip 4spd was replaced with a NEW Keisler 5 spd Pistol Grip transmission aND Bell Housing (another +$7K). I have all the engine and trans specs and build sheets. The mechanical clutch linkage was replaced with a hydraulic system -- VERY SMOOTH SHIFTING, VERY easy to use clutch pedal, and lots of gearing choices for city, highway, or track. This Cuda was originally a power brake car, but is set up for manual brakes now - they work very well, but the next owner can easily add a brake boost and go back to power - same with the steering. The car has never been on the track, even though there is a 6 point roll cage installed -- (fairly easy to remove if desired). The frame is "PINNED" the Leaf Springs are moved in to tighten up the traction and ride. THIS IS THE TIGHTEST 70 CUDA I have EVER driven -- VERY precise. All new black Legendary interior (seat covers, carpet, and headliner), Dash completely restored, NEW DOOR PANELS, ORIGINAL Tic Toc Tach Dash (Complete but some of the gauges need rebuilt), Fiberglass front Bumper, 15" ORIGINAL Rally Wheels, NEW Nitto EXTREEM DRAG STREET SLICKS in the back, and like new BF Goodrich classic radials in the front. Front Disk Brakes, drum rears, High Flow headers, stainless 3" exhaust all the way to the original rectangle tips thru the rear valance -- Sounds amazing!! The underside of the car is in excellent condition with a few small signs of surface rust. The entire underside is SOLID! The trunk is very clean with a little surface rust but all very solid. All the body fold lips under the door panels, the trunk, fender wells, etc are in excellent condition with CLEAN metal lines -- NO FILLER IN THE DOOR SEAMS (CHECK OUT THE LAST FEW PICS - TRAILER PIC WAS HOW IT WAS WHEN THE LAST OWNER BOUGHT IT OVER 15 YEARS AGO OUT OF CALIFORNIA - it was clean 90++% RUST FREE!!! - THE OTHER PICS SHOW HOW THEY STRIPPED THE ENTIRE CAR TO THE METAL, EPOXY UNDERCOAT, AND AMAZING ORIGINAL COLOR PAINT OVER 15 YEARS AGO.), This is a great example of a well preserved like original CLEAN '70 CUDA with some of the BEST UPGRADES in the Industry (Muscle motors 500 CI engine, Keisler 5 Spd pistol grip with Carbon Fiber Pistol Grip, hydraulic clutch that is very easy to use - even it traffic!! Legendary Interior, and beautiful condition MOPAR Body! I am also including the original "double scoop" hood painted in the same red as the car. Now the fun stuff -- This car is very fast - (Sick Fast), a blast to drive, and very manageable in traffic -- EVEN on a 95+ degree day! Runs cool all the time, starts every time, and is a blast to drive. If you are very picky here are a few things you might want to do - a few tweaks like the chrome around the front grill, repair of some of the original gauges (there are separate oil pressure, temp, fuel, and Tach gauges to keep track of performance), I have the original heater components if you want them (all of the heater box, core, hoses, etc were removed). Maybe a few other cosmetics that I am sure others can find, but this car is 92+% there -- 100 for me, I love it just the way it is, but it is time to sell this toy to get another one . . . This car really is ready to get in and drive as is, OR tweak as you desire. There is over $50K invested in this 'Cuda. I am asking $29,700 OBO - AND IS SOLD IN "AS IS CONDITION". This Cuda is being sold AS IS, BUT the winner can inspect the car within 3 days after the auction ends - IF THERE IS ANY MAJOR ISSUE THAT I DID NOT DESCRIBE - THE WINNER CAN RE-NEGOTIATE OR REFUSE THE CAR. I will listen to any REAONABLE offer. If you have a serious interest, Email me your number and I will call you. >>HERE IS A LINK TO MY CUDA VIDEO walk around with the engine running VIDEO ON YOUTUBE.com -- http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=uukcXzOEK40&feature=youtu.be

'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.
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.

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.
