73 Cuda on 2040-cars

I'm selling my 73 Barracuda that is much more like a 72 Cuda.  The bumpers, front and rear, have been changed to 72 style, along with the brackets.  The car looks a little shorter, meaner, and doesn't have those big rubber blocks bolted to the bumpers or the filler panel between the body and the bumpers.

In place of the stock 318 and the 904 trans I've installed the rebuilt 440. I've added aluminum Edelbrock RPM heads, Edelbrock Pro Flo fuel injection and a Shumacher torque bar  The transmission is a Keisler heavy duty 5 Speed, good for up to 650 HP.   It also has Shumacher Try Y headers that have been ceramic coated.  The rest of the exhaust is TTi 3" with Cuda tips.

The car has an electric cooling fan, electric water pump and stainless steel radiator hoses.  The alternator has been updated to a 140 amp, along with the necessary wiring.  

The car has Baer discs all the way around.  The wheels are 18" Billit Specialties, 8.5x18 front, 9x18 rear.  Both have 4.5" back spacing.  The stance is just right!  Shocks are KYB gas charged all the way around.
The interior is vinyl with suede inserts, both front and rear.  

It was a automatic, console car.  Now it's a 5 speed, console car.  The stock dash was replaced with a Rally Gauge cluster that was rebuilt prior to installation.  All new (Year One) wiring was installed at the same time from front to rear.

The paint is a beautiful 1997 Viper blue.  It's awesome all of the time, but depending on the light may show a purple tint, just like the Viper.

I've had the car dyne-tuned and it's putting out 383 HP at the rear wheels.  It currenly has NO HEATER OR AC.  It was an AC car, I just didn't want it.  A great setup from Vintage Air would work well in this car.

The stereo has a cassette (that I've never used) and a 6 disc player mounted in the trunk (I've used it a lot)!  It has 6" round three way speakers in the front, and 9x6 three way speakers in the back.  There are two 500 watt amps and a 12" subwoofer mounted in the trunk.  The stereo also performs!  (Now you know why I needed the 140 amp alternator)

If you have any questions, please don't hesitate to ask.  I love talking about this car!

Buyer is responsible for shipping.  A trip to Vegas before would be icing on most cakes!

Special note, a Viper Blue Rally hood and springs are included, along with other parts!!

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.

'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.

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.
