This Cuda is unlike any other Pro-Touring car you will find. When you first see it in action, it is hard to comprehend. As the EFI setup begins pumping gas (regular high octane pump gas) in to the 426 Hemi, you can watch both the Magnuforce front suspension & Dana 60 with the four link operate like a well crafted clock. When you take off, you can just watch it pull to the ground and launch like a rocket ship. In other words, this is not your run of the mill Cuda. No, this is the Cuda that will eat everything that stands in its way.
The restoration of this Cuda has been lengthy as well as costly. We have receipts totaling up tens of thousands of dollars. With labor, this build surpassed the 200k mark. Every portion of the car is new. The wiring, every bit of hardware through out the doors, underside, engine bay, exhaust, rubbers, it is all new. As of today, she has under thirty miles on her and the majority of those came during the tuning and tweaking stage which were just completed at the end of March.
The body of this Cuda was completely disassembled, put on the rotisserie, and completely gone through. It has no rust and is exceptionally straight. The entire car was professionally painted both top and bottom side. It has been finished in a two stage Plum Crazy Purple and was done with a mirror finish. It is absolutely stunning in person. As we were shooting video of the car, we couldn't keep people away from it. What would have normally taken about an hour, stretched on for about three hours all because people couldn't stop checking her out. We finished her off with the black Hemi Hockey stick stripes which really break up the Purple perfectly. All of the chrome through out the Cuda is new. All of the stainless has been completely refurbished. The grille, taillights, headlights, indicator lights, rubber seals, emblems, radio antenna, spoiler, all of it is new. The one thing that is left to do on the Cuda is to attach the front hood emblem. We have ordered it but it has yet to arrive. It will be included with the car. The custom built Boss wheels provide the perfect drivability for the Cuda. You can just feel the back tires wanting to pull up pavement as you press the gas. Like the rest of the car, these too are brand new with new tires (less than 30 miles on them).
The 426 Hemi within this Cuda is not a crate motor. It is an original Hemi motor. It was professionally built and runs phenomenally well. It does not leak nor sputter. It is extremely strong. The custom built air breather that houses the EFI was built to fit perfectly. The EFI setup (also brand new) on this motor is a dual four setup. It is completely tuned up and works exceptionally well. Just like a modern car, you hop in (don't touch the gas), turn the key, and she fires up with out hesitation. The five speed Tremec within this Cuda is also brand new and works exceptionally well. She ****s through her gears with out hesitation. It too does not leak. The four wheel Willwood disc brakes are all new and they work with out hesitation. No pulling, no shakes, no shimmies, just dependability. The entire brake & fuel system is all new. The Magnuforce front suspension has a surreal look to it. Now when you're driving her, it is a feel unlike any other. It's hard to explain but imagine taking Dr. Jekyl & Mr. Hyde and mashing the two of them perfectly together. She has the unmistakable feel & sound of a high powered muscle car but when you're driving, she gives you the handling of a high dollar sports car. The Vintage AC system within this Cuda is also brand new and works exceptionally well. The entire exhaust system is new with 2 1/2" pipes which are hooked up to new Magnuflow mufflers and are finished off with brand new exhaust tips.
Every bit of the interior is new within this Cuda. The dash pad, headliner, carpet, seat covers (& foam), package tray, sill plates, door panels, hardware, glove box, all of it is new. We also installed a brand new Tuff steering wheel as well as some nice Auto-Meter Pro-Comp Ultra-Lite gauges (with tach). All of which compliment the Pistol Grip shifter. Put your hands on the shifter and you instantly know that you are in control.
If you really enjoy driving and you love seeing peoples reactions, this is the car to have. The best part, it is the only one in existence! In order to replicate this car, you will spend well beyond a quarter of a million dollars in doing so. I can tell you first hand, it has been a long journey but from the moment we first drove it, it has been well worth the travel. All in all, this has been a very rewarding and humbling experience being a part of this build. So don't miss out on this rare opportunity to own a well crafted and intelligently engineered piece of mobile art.
Located below you will find a lengthy video as well as over one hundred photos. Please keep in mind that some of the footage was shot rather quickly so the cameras were set at several different angles. The Cuda does have an even stance all the way around. One of the problems we kept enduring as we shot footage of the Cuda were people stopping to check it out. It took about three hours to shoot video but we had only allotted an hour for doing so. If you would like any photos or video of anything specific, please do not hesitate to contact me and I will gladly get it done.
I encourage anyone who is interested to come check her out. If you're unable to fly in, I will gladly work with you to help have it inspected. We do have a clear title for this Cuda.
