Hemi-powered Plymouth Cudas have been fetching serious money for years. It seems when it comes to old school muscle cars theres just something about big engine square-jawed MoPars that turns grown men into starstruck admirers. And while thats great for collectors and a few long-term owners it leaves most classic car enthusiasts out in the cold. Fortunately the phrase numbers-matching Hemi isnt the only indicator of this brands market success. And if youre looking for a sweet piece of Detroit muscle thatll show AND tear up the road cars like this fully documented 383/4-speed combo are just as cool and just as much fun!

BODYWORK/TRIM

Is there a cooler color than Plymouths glowing Tor-Red urethane? An eye-catching High Impact hue that came out of Chryslers hip 1970s brighter is better mindset this Cudas correct code EV2 pigment is some of the coolest paint to ever adorn classic MoPar metal. Naturally that racy red looks right at home highlighting a ground-up restored BS23s laser-straight panels razor-sharp lines and rock-solid profile. When expertly applied under a correct Black top and crystalline clearcoat it becomes a great reminder as to just how cool Detroits golden era really was. And overall this coupe rolls as one head turning cruiser that simply oozes vintage appeal!

Unlike most dressed and decaled cars which tend to throw good taste out the window this awesome E-Body seamlessly balances a cool personality with flashy good looks. And thanks to a quality Le Hodge restoration the cars crisp shut lines and excellent panel alignment present much better today than when it originally rolled off Dodge Mains storied assembly lines. At the front of its broad shouldered body a stainless-trimmed 1971-exclusive grille hangs four halogen headlights above a bright bumper and sculpted parking lamps. At the top of that grille a cuda 383 branded hood props two stainless lanyards and a small PLYMOUTH script in front of like-new glass fresh stainless trim and correct window louvers. At the sides of that hood satin door handles and stylish fender louvers ride between correct Tor-Red sport mirrors dent-free rocker trim and RKM-installed billboards. And at the back of the car a Satin Black valence hangs a cool cuda by PLYMOUTH emblem between a prominent spoiler bright taillights a second chrome bumper and correct stainless exhaust tips.

More popular than Chryslers famed Hemi and almost as feared the Super Commando V8 was designed to be Plymouths best combination of comfort streetability and performance. At the top of the stout mill a beefy Edelbrock carburetor breathes through a correct air cleaner thats covered in a striking combination of fresh Organisol and traditional lettering. Below that carburetor a spotless orange block wears familiar steel valve covers and previously restored exhaust manifolds. The big engines fires are lit by reproduction Chrysler Electronic Suppression wires a reproduction Chrysler voltage regulator and a proven points distributor.
