Dave Wren's Super Stock 1970 426 Hemi Cuda 2 Time National Record Holder on 2040-cars
United States
|
The car I have listed here is a Professional Super Stock Race Car. It was raced by Dave Wren in the 70s. When speaking to Dave Wren he told me that this car set 2 national records. One as an automatic in the SS/DA class and another national record was set with the car after he converted it to a 4 speed in the SS/D class. Wren raced this car with a 426 Hemi. It was his Notorious Multi-winner Hemi Cuda.
The car was originally
optioned with 440 V code 6 pack, hemi orange/ tor red color with black
interior, auto trans, 8 3/4 rear 3.55 sure grip, and N96 shaker hood. The car
currently has a non numbers matching but date coded F440 1970 block with 6 pack
set up cooled by a correct 26 inch 956 radiator as it would have had originally. When I spoke to Dave Wren he told me
the car was ordered and delivered out of Collette Chrysler/ Plymouth in
Hillsboro, Oregon. He told me he tried to order the car for racing purposes
with few options in which it has radio delete. Galen Govier authenticated this
car. Galen Authenticated Fender tag options read: N96 26 END M21 M25 M31 M88 N41 N42 EV2 A36 C16 C55 J25 J45 EV2 H6X9 000 A14 017769 E87 D32 BS23 V0E
This car has been in many magazines. Some are as follows, car craft magazine, hot rod magazine, national dragster, super stock magazine, mopar collectors guide June 2006 issue, and there are many more. I have many vintage photos of this car going down the drag strip. I even found a score card that shows Dave Wren in 1970 getting 2nd place to Ray Allen (whose Chevelle sold for 1.2 million) in the World Finals(See the photo I uploaded). Dave Wren also raced other well known super stock race car drivers such as: -Sox and Martin -Old Trapper Al Branham -Dick Landy -Bobby Warren -Ken Montgomery -Rusty Gillis -Ron Rizzo, and many more.
From what I can tell this is the most seen and acknowledged Super Stock car which Dave Wren raced. This car won and placed in many Super Stock events. You can view some of them in the photos I have of the car as well as the many photos of the car in advertisements and car/ enthusiast magazines. I have been contacted in the past by magazines and I have had two photo shoots on this car. The Cuda runs great. This car still has its race proven shortened Dana 60 rear end with and is estimated with 4.88 gears, race set up rear suspension and still retains a roll bar for racing. Also, something to note is that the gauges which are non-rally have only 1377 miles. So I would estimate the car to have something close to this mileage. When speaking to Dave Wren he is the original owner and he raced this car from when it was new. These miles are probably 1/4 mile at a time!! Also, the dash pad in this car is mint!! It is the original grain and is amazing! I have been offered thousands for just this pad plus a replacement from people who are restoring their Cuda's. This again, shows the low mileage of the car.
Super Stock/ Pro Stock race cars with this heritage and history are very rare! Just consider the ones we have seen recently. Ray Allen’s Chevelle sold $1.2 million in 2006. In 2007 Grumpy’s Toy Bill Jenkins 1974 Vega sold for $577,000, Jenkins 70 Camaro Super Stock for $500,000, Sox and Martin 71 Super Stock Cuda $929,000. Not to mention that even as recent as the 2013 and 2014 Barrett Jackson we see 1970 Hemi Cuda's selling for $250k and 440 six pack cars not far behind. This is your chance to own a piece of History and one of the most distinguished Super Stock Muscle Cars during the 1970s Muscle Car era! For serious bidders, please let me know if you would like to see the car before bidding. The car is very fun, wild, rare and mean looking to me, but I want your eyes to be happy with any purchase. I have described this car to the best of my ability. Call for more details and questions. Thanks. 972.742.8191 |

'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.
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.
