1970 Plymouth Cuda Pro Stocker This is a very cool piece of history! We have had this car for many years and has been a cool car for discussion and a fun car to look at and run. This is a real non restored Pro Stocker from the 70's. Curtis Spann and this 70 Cuda were featered in Hot Rod magazine. This car was run along side Sox and Martin, Dick Landy and other the greats of that time. This car was originally built and driven but Curtis Spann of Sesser, Illinois. The engine is a 426 HEMI that was stroked to 472 cubic inches. The motor was put together with a Chrome crankshaft by Joe Ralph Thompson out of Arkansas. Joe Thompson's 1965 Plymouth A/FX is sitting in The Don Garlits Museum now. The HEMI has 2 1050 Dominator carbs. The notes I have say the car was worked on by a very notable Chrysler factory mechanic, John Bowman. The Trans is a 4 spd Crash Box with a Dana rear wih 5:12 ratio. A lot of parts on the car i know for a fact resemble and show signs from Sox and Martin parts. Whether these parts were purchased from Sox and Martin or copied is really unknown. The car was run at a few major tracks being East St. Louis, Bowling Green, KY, Owensburg, KY, and Indianapolis, IN. The cars best time was a 9.68 @ 144 mph. The car has been great to us. The Car still runs great and we take it down the street from time to time. I tried to photograph everything on this car, and give as much info as possible. There is a ton of history here, which makes for a really interesting car. It will fit nicely in a collection somewhere. Please ask any questions you may have. I will do my best to answer everything I can. I also encourage and welcome anyone to come see the car before auction end. Please do not bid unless you have your funds ready and you are prepared to win this auction! Thank you and Good Luck!
