It is an unrestored, original, 36,000-mile, matching-numbers, 4-speed Hemi Cuda in Plymouths Hi Impact color of EV2, Tor Red. Every aspect has been validated by Mopar expert and restorer Roger Gibson as well as another noted Hemi authority. Each owner in the cars well-preserved history is documented and the original fender tag has never been removed and remains in excellent condition. This R-code Hemi was built at the Hamtramck Assembly plant in Michigan and was exported to its first owner, Robert Krocker in Winnipeg, Canada, who drove the car only in dry weather. The second owner was Allen Werbicki who was located in the same town. Werbicki cared for the car until 1984 enjoying it only sparsely under clear conditions. Werbicki would sell it in 1984 to Brian Hemmingson of Florence, Oregon, who would preserve the car for the next 11 years. Under Hemmingstons ownership it was stored in a fully climate-controlled building. Old correspondence indicates that Mr. Hemmingson was a knowledgeable and precise collector and had validated the cars originality at the time of purchase. Hemmingson sold the car in 1995 to Kent Snowden in Washington State. Mr. Snowden wrote a letter stating that the motor had never been removed from the car and that it was a true time capsule upon purchase and throughout his stewardship. Snowden sold the car in 1999 to noted Mopar collector Joe Arrotta, who was the President and owner of various car dealerships including Spokane-Chrysler Plymouth in Washington State. The car was purchased from Arrotta by its current owner in 2001 after a long search to find an original, unrestored, Hemi 4-speed Cuda in a desirable color, without a vinyl top. The current owner has maintained the vehicle for almost 15 years. Upon purchase, the car was accompanied by a lengthy report from the Chrysler Registry. The authenticating expert was quite impressed with the car and had taken more than 200 reference photos documenting every aspect of the vehicle during his inspection. The only item of significance was that early in its life, the car had lightly scraped the side of a transporter when being unloaded; this was thought to have happened when the car was delivered new to the original dealership. It was also noted that the side was repainted in an orange-peeled manner and ought to be repainted to match the quality of the original paint on the rest of the car. The inspection report documents that the car had most all of its original paint, original fender tag, all original date-coded glass and mirrors, seat covers, mint-condition headliner, carpet, heater box, seatbelts, carburetors, alternator, distributor, intake manifold and matching-numbers engine block, transmission and rear end.
