1971 Plymouth Cuda

Description

A 1971 Plymouth 'Cuda with its numbers-Matching original V8, four-speed manual transmission, and restored in its correct Lemon Twist... Oh yeah, we decided to bring your dream Mopar directly to you.

If you're a Plymouth person, the color is Lemon Twist; if you're a Dodge person, it's Top Banana; and if you're a Mopar fan, you're just excited to see this coupe expertly re-finished in its factory-correct FY1 high impact color. But, the true love is in the details. This 'Cuda's sheetmetal has the iconic rear fender kick that's showcased by the black rear callout package. In fact, the black trim has been used to amplify this muscle machine's aggressive attitude – from deep scoops in the J54 sport hood, to the vinyl roof, to rear spoiler. But it's the brightwork that makes the final muscle car touches. You see it in items like the hood pins, wraparound bumpers, large dual exhaust tips jettisoning out of the rear valance. Even the trim rings on the Rallye wheels have a great shine. Now that you've looked over every inch of this rare 'Cuda, you can tell just the level of quality and detail that came with its restoration. And best of all, when you check out the double trim tag on this highly-optioned car, you'll see that your favorite elements are factory-correct!

The pristine black vinyl interior is the right choice to complement the exterior accents. The moment you slip into the high-back bucket seat, you realize just how factory correct this 'Cuda feels. Of course, it doesn't hurt that the seats, door panels, carpets, roof, and every other major component was either replaced or restored to factory standards. This option-heavy muscle car includes the desirable center console, and it even has the iconic pistol-grip shifter. In fact, from the driver's seat, this one feels dead-on accurate with the three-spoke woodgrain steering wheel and optional A62 Rallye Instrument Cluster Package that includes a tach.

When you pop the hood, you'll know those rear fender callouts were not lying. This is Plymouth's famous 340 cubic-inch V8 presented so nicely with the bold orange block contrasting in the Lemon Twist engine bay. And best of all, this is the original motor to this 'Cuda, which is something that always impresses everyone from Mopar enthusiasts to car show judges. The nice setup with tidy belts, wires and hoses, let's you know that there was still plenty left in the restoration budgets to pay attention to this important powerplant. The details are even correct such as the clean undercarriage and Goodyear Polyglas tires. And while you love this one for its history, you'll enjoy it even more you fire up the V8 and it inhales deeply through the four-barrel carburetor and exhales with authority from the newer stainless steel exhaust. The four-speed manual transmission and limited slip rear end give you a real presence on the streets. Plus, the power steering and front disc brakes means this Mopar is easily under your control.

There were less than 6,300 'Cuda coupes built in 1971, and far fewer have survived today as nicely as this one. Buying this speedy Plymouth means you're a member of a rare Mopar club, so if you're ready for true muscle car distinction, call today!
