This is one of only 87 High Performance 383 4bbl Automatic Cuda Convertibles produced in 1971. Yesand#44; this is no pedestrian Barracuda. This is a true BS27N1B car. A late production unitand#44; this is also one of the last 71 Cudas ever made. This one was factory equipped in Dreamsicle colorsand#44; Hemi Orange over white leather interior. Other desirable options include ice cold A/Cand#44; AM/FM thumb dial radioand#44; Rallye Gaugesand#44; Tuff Wheeland#44; Consoleand#44; Power Windowsand#44; Power convertible topand#44; and more. All of it documented by two fender tags and three broadcast sheets. This is no warmed over driver that often clutter the classified section either. This Cuda was treated to one of the very best in concours quality over the top restorations by nationally award winning shopand#44; The Finer Details. She began with a solidand#44; all numbers matching bodyand#44; original transmissionand#44; rearand#44; and a date code correct (but not VIN stamped) 383 HP Magnum block. Following more than 4and#44;000 hours in restoration and years gathering the best original componentsand#44; the car was entered into concours competition at the 2015 World of Wheels where it won Best in Classand#44; Best Paintand#44; and Best Interior. The undercarriage looks as nice as the top! She currently shows 100 miles on the restoration and 77and#44;616 miles overall on the odometer. While she has been reborn as a trailered show ponyand#44; she is engineered for the open road. The date code correct HP Magnum motor was stroked and poked to 445 cubic inches by Dave Bruns Mid-America Racing Engines. The engine was likewise balancedand#44; blueprintedand#44; and machined to port-match intake and heads. Valve train benefited from the conversion to modern roller rockers. The rest of the drive-train and suspension received a similar treatment. While the factory rated this mill at 335hpand#44; it now makes more than 450 horsepowerand#44; naturally aspirated on pump gas while still appearing factory stock on the outside. Soand#44; if you always dreamed of owning a genuine Cuda convertible that pays off in both Show and Go (and dont wish to spend $3.5 million dollarsand#44; or even the $200and#44;000+ and YEARS that it cost to restore this example)and#44; then you have found about the best specimen one can buy.
