Built by Rich Gebhardt, this 1970 Cuda Gran Sport features a very high performance 383 big block, obviously far from stock. The motor makes around 700HP and was built using all the best parts of the day. The semi-radical, high-lift (580), long duration cam has a great lope. Compression in all 8 cylinders is perfect. The Holley 750 Carbs were recently tuned and the motor runs absolutely flawlessly. I recently spent weeks cleaning up and polishing everything on the motor. All new chrome bolts and nuts everywhere I could put 'em. This past week I also spent $750 on an entirely new fuel delivery system. The old system did not allow room for a hood. The 727 trans shifts tightly. It has a reverse manual valve body. The brakes work extremely well, despite the fact they are drum all the way around. All 4 tires are almost brand new. The car leaks no fluid. This pro street Cuda looks radical, but it is very street friendly and can be driven anywhere, even in commute traffic. It does not load up or overheat. The body is in great shape and is very straight, however, there are a few blemishes and imperfections. Surprisingly few for a car that was built/painted 15(?) years ago. The paint shines with a nice gloss. Cut and buffed. Very few small chips on edges that can easily be touched up and buffed down. No doubt there is a fingernail polish this exact color (Hemi Orange) that would do the job well. The interior is good. Door panels are original and in good shape. The seats are covered in black crushed velvet and are in great shape. The headliner has the original overhead console in great shape. Floor console is also excellent with the original shifter. Original dash, guages, steering wheel, carpet, headliner, seats, seat belts and all. The car will come with a new black carpet set (front and rear). Front suspension is stock. This is a balkhalf car. Rear end is coil-over, 4-link with the original Mopar 8 3/4, narrowed. I am unsure of the gears but they feel like 3:55's. The car has polished aluminum work on the balkhalf in the interior and in the trunk. Very sharp! Top-notch workmanship by Rich Gebhardt. Fuel Cell is large. Probably 12 gallon. Polished and chromed wheelie bars. All glass in the car is excellent, chip and crack-free and, believe it or not, original. All lights, turn signals and blinkers operate as they should. Toggle switches for the fuel pump and 2 electric fans are on a guage panel and all work perfectly. The only thing this car could use is a hood. That's what I was aiming to do before I lost storage for the car. That is the reason I have to sell it. If you're looking for the ultimate Cuda and you want it supercharged, here you go. A few pumps of the gas and a tap of the key and this car starts right up, dead cold. But beware, the RPM's come up the split second you crank it, due to the blower. I mean INSTANT RPM's. If you have any questions, please don't hesitate to ask. Please don't hesitate to make an offer of whatever you feel the car is worth to you. You never know, I may be motivated or in the mood to accept, depending how soon I have to remove the car from the garage. Thank you! I will accept a $500 deposit within 48 hours of the sale. The balance MUST be paid by bank wire transfer ONLY, and must be completed within 5 days of the sale date (ebay purchase date).
