Thanks to their excellent combination of power, tyle and exclusivity, fferings like this awesome 'Cuda have some of the fastest sell-through rates of anything in our showroom.

If you're looking for a spectacular classic that you can show, njoy and build a little equity with, t's time to seize the day!

Spending most of its life as a clean daily driver, his awesome MoPar was the perfect starting point for a high quality, round-up restoration. The car's arrow-straight body, hich includes solid-closing doors on top of better-than-factory alignment, as stripped to bare metal and massaged into spectacular surfaces. Once those surfaces were completely clean and fully prepped, flashy coat of Lemon Twist base was detailed with bright white billboards and sealed in glossy clear. And today, his positively vivid Plymouth sits as one super slick road warrior that features a perfect combination of no-nonsense looks and vicious street manners.

Thanks to a 1970 redesign, he 'Cuda lost all commonality with its Valiant stablemate and finally traded its lowly economy car lineage for the square-jawed muscle car image we all know and love. At the front of this sinister stoplight brawler, stainless-trimmed, 71-exclusive grille hangs crystal clear headlights above an elastomeric bumper and familiar, culpted parking lamps. At the top of that grille, "hemicuda" branded shaker rides in front of like-new glass, traight stainless trim and Lemon Twist mirrors. At the sides of that shaker, atin door handles, tylish fender vents and a trademark Chrysler pentastar highlight a smooth, rofessionally finished profile. And at the back of the car, traditional black valence hangs like-new tail lights and a cool "'cuda by PLYMOUTH" emblem above a bright chrome bumper and correct exhaust tips.

Toss the car's light hood and you'll find a 426 cubic inch Hemi V8. As Plymouth's top option for power hungry gearheads, hrysler's legendary elephant block utilizes cast iron heads, n oversquare bore, forged steel crank, orged steel rods, orged aluminum pistons and a hydraulic cam to twist stout 10.25 to 1 compression into a stated 425 horsepower and 490 lb./ft. of torque. All that high performance hardware spins in a traditional Hemi Orange block that hangs attractive, rganisol-coated valve covers over correct, ow-restriction exhaust manifolds. A perfect mixture of fuel and air is supplied by coated Edelbrock carburetors and a correct aluminum intake. Compression is sparked by MoPar Performance Premium Magnetic Suppression cables, hich are snapped onto a correct points distributor. And resultant combustion is cooled by a big radiator that's fitted with pliable hoses and modern screw clamps. Aesthetically, he entire engine bay looks great, rom its gray latch and Lemon Twist fenders to its old school fluid reservoir and MoPar battery topper. And functionally, quick turn of the car's ignition results in a rumbling, igh-performance idle, ot or cold.

Park this 'Cuda on a lift and you'll find a solid chassis that's no stranger to sunny miles and good times. At the center of the car's floors, tough A833 4-speed applies power to a rugged Dana 60 rear end that spins a posi-traction differential around friendly 3.54 gears. Below that proven drivetrain, familiar torsion bar/leaf spring suspension has been completely rebuilt to include factory power steering and manual disc and drum brakes. Exhaust is handled by 2.5-inch, ree-flowing tail pipes that jettison cooked dinosaurs through Pypes Street Pro mufflers and square stainless tips. Power flows to the pavement via Chrysler Rallye wheels, hich spin authentic looking F60-15 Goodyear Polyglas GTs around stainless trim rings and Graphite center caps. And naturally, he car's clean, ody-matched undercarriage is rounded out by fresh stainless fluid lines and a new stainless fuel tank.

Pop this Plymouth's clean top and you'll find an elegant interior that plays well off the car's bright paint. The front bucket and rear bench seats are wrapped in virtually new covers. Below those seats, tain-free carpet centers heavy duty, 'cuda" branded floor mats on a sculpted console and Hurst pistol grip shifter. At the sides of that carpet, hite door panels hang small "'cuda" emblems above traditional cranks, ntegrated handles and small chrome locks. In front of those panels, "Barracuda" branded dash props requisite Chrysler Rallye gauges above a Chrysler Solid State radio. In front of the driver, wood-rimmed steering wheel spins aluminum spokes around a cool Barracuda horn button. And behind the passengers, nicely finished trunk centers a correct jack and new space saver spare between a correct mat and new decklid decal.
