The Black 1971 Plymouth 'Cuda Thread

[Carlwalski]

I need to go check the garage to see if my hemi is still there!     

Sorry Don, that was the best angle and meanest looking picture I could use to give myself some kind of idea.

No worries at all, I'm really excited about your 71 cuda project....your hemi is going to rock!   

[Carlwalski]

Thanks!! I can't wait to get started. Should be twice as quick as Lucy as the car is, well, restored already.
Body & panel work will be a breeze and the car is 100% complete 10/10 grille to vinyl top moldings!!

Ships out from LA on the 12th or 19th of this month.

Carl, thought about you as I watched Phantasm.

I just purchased Phantasm I,II,III,IV movies for my collection.
They're not available for rent thru netflix etc..

I've only watched I & II so far, 2 having many more of the hemi cuda scenes than 1.

I recommend them for your '71 Black hemi 'cuda viewing pleasure. Amazon has 'em.

Thanks ChevyConvert & Don. I have the "Orb" pack with 5 discs in it! So, I have the Phantasm movies. Not too bad, I guess for the time it was made and the styles of movies in that period the acting & corniness is to be expected. Wish they shot more of the car but, seeing 2-3 minutes of the whole car in 120mins is pretty much worth it.

interesting article..Thanks. I couldn't read the hood in the first movie.

In the second movie they made a point of pausing on a close-up of the "hemicuda" call-out on the hood.

I thought it was a 440 6pack.

Hey Carl
What do ya know about this pic?  It looks like it was taken over by the Phoenix Zoo in AZ

Is it recent ?

[chevyconvert]

I thought it was a 440 6pack.

not according to the hood call-out in the phantasm II flick.

Just watched P.III for the first time. In this movie the black 'cudas a convertible...no explanation given in the plot as to where / how the ice cream man came to own it.
Funny...the ice cream man doesn't work, never goes to a bank, but always has wads of cash to throw about.

I was thinking of the first movie. The article above says it had 440 sixpack call outs on the hood. Guess they changed it for every movie.

Callouts per Phantasm series:

P1 - 440-6  (71)
P2- hemicuda  (71)
P3- hemicuda on shaker bubble  (70)
P4- hemicuda on shaker bubble  (70)
