1973 Plymouth CudaCar started life as a 383 built in Hamtramck, MI This Cuda was built to be a fun car to drive to car shows and cruise ins. The body and styling are very 80’s. A lot of the work and restoration were done in the late 80s. As you can see from the photos I have tons of receipts for mostly all of the work done to this car. I can’t tell exactly when the body work and paint was done, but it was done right. The paint looks excellent and is in great shape. The roses on the quarter glass are etched into the glass, very nicely done. Everything works as it should with this car. Lights, brakes, power steering, gauges all work. I have the factory hood for the car painted the correct maroon color, it does not have a hole cut out for the blower. As for the interior, there are a few gauges in the car. Auto Meter water Temp, and Oil Pressure gauges mounted in the perfect spot under the dash next to the center console. Auto Meter Tach with shift light on top of the column. Fuel level gauge mounted in the center console for the fuel cell. Toggle switch on the dash is for the electric fans that powers off with the ignition. Bell Latch style lap belts. Radio isn’t anything special but works and FM reception is good. Overall the interior is in great shape. The front seats are comfortable and in excellent shape. The rear seats are in good shape as well. The package tray has been refinished and holds 2 aftermarket speakers. The headliner is also in good shape with no tears or sagging. The dash shows no problems or cracking,warping, or discoloring. The trunk holds the 10 gallon fuel cell, 20lb nitrous tank with gauge, battery, and fire extinguisher. The front and Rear bumpers are in good shape and show no signs of the chrome pitting or rusting. The Engine is a 360 with a 671 Hampton supercharger. It has two Holley 750 Carbs, the bodies of the carbs were powder coated red and all other parts were chromed. There is a lot of chrome bits and pieces everywhere under the hood. There was an extreme amount of attention to detail when this car went together. Most of the bolts and nuts under the hood have chrome or brass caps on them and wires are loomed and routed properly and neatly. The Hood hinges are chrome, the intake manifold is polished aluminum, the alternator is chrome, pulleys are chrome. The Nitrous plate kit was installed by someone who obviously knew what they were doing. All the lines are bent perfectly and are a beautiful sight. I was told when we got the car it had a 100 shot of nitrous. It has always been more of a show piece for us and we have not used the nitrous. There is a toggle switch in the center console with the fuel level gauge that is for the nitrous. The trans is a 727 automatic with slap stick shifter, it seems to have a little larger stall, Im thinking around the 3k range. The rear end is an 8-3/4, not sure what gear it is. The power steering is very smooth and the car runs well. It is not a handful to drive like I had first imagined it would be. It is a very easy car to drive and enjoy. Being in FL the only thing it needs is AC. This Cuda is a real step back in time. A lot of older hot rods have been torn down and resto modded for todays constantly changing trends, and that is what makes this car so cool, It is old school hot rodding at its best! I know I have forgot some things. Please ask any questions you may have. The car is for sale locally as well, so I reserve the right to end the auction at anytime.
