1971 cuda

[lucky cuda]

still looking for any info on what was called a 1971 halloween cuda, or a pumpkin cuda. orange outside ,orange interior, with a black painted vo2 roof car ? thanks

There was never any Cuda officially made with those colours or names.
Obiviously someone could have ordered that combo, but V02 71 Cudas are pretty rare.

I'm sure one does exist, but it wasn't sold new as a "Halloween Special" ...

I'm sure it is a nickname moniker that got attached to the car at some point. There are some distinctive or unusual cars out there that have some kind of moniker attached to them. For instances, this black '70 HemiCuda with a white interior is popularly known as "the Penguin" http://www.carpictures.com/vehicle/07D8D440913418/Plymouth-Hemi-Cuda-Penguin-1970#

I've been restoring Mopars for 30+ years and never heard of a black/white Cuda being call a Penguin.....
Judging by the first paragraph, "THE PENGUIN IS A FACTORY ORIGINAL CODE TX9 TUXEDO BLACK PAINT WITH CODE SRX9 LEATHER CUSTOM BUCKET SEAT INTERIOR. SUPERIOR QUALITY CONCOURS RESTORATION " the writer doesn't know much about it either...

This would be a stunning color combo.

With two fender tags I bet it's got a lot of cool options!

Lucky, was this a car that you have seen? 
Knew someone who owned it? 

Do you have some more details?

The cuda was on a dealer lot on or about 1973 or 1974 in Bismark North Dakota when purchased, later got sold and was in a pole shed in McIntosh South Dakota where the owner got it out and rebuilt the matching 340,4 speed, and rear end and fix up the orange seats and a few other interior items Thanks

Sounds like a sweet color combo. Good luck with your quest. I hope you find it.

I Do have and own the car now with title in hand trying to decide to leave it alone or go for a complete resto. Thanks

There are a lot of cars out there with colloquial nicknames or monikers. Suppose you never heard of this 71 Cuda commonly referred to as the "haircut hemi" either? http://www.russoandsteele.com/collector-car/1971-Plymouth-Hemi-Cuda/40932 Kind of hard not to being that it has been in multiple magazine articles. Just because someone hasn't heard of it doesn't mean that it doesn't exist. You can be a real tool Alan ...

... and a funny guy too. First you insult lucky-cuda by slamming him ...

There was never any Cuda officially made with those colours or names.

... and then you are soliciting for his business!

Now that is funny! 

Sorry for hijacking your thread there lucky-cuda ... please continue on with your posts about your car ... and like Cody said ... lets see some pics!

Geez...Ever heard of the "Barrelcuda" ? 

You can give any name you want to any car you got, doesn't mean the factory offered them for sale under those names.

There was a certain group of 71 Cudas known as "Promo Cudas" all being painted GY3 etc....

But there was never a group produced call "Halloween Cudas" and for sure no factory cars sold as "Hair cut Cudas"

Just because ONE car is called that, doesn't really qualify it as a certain "type" of Cuda as the original poster was alluding to.

How is stating a fact insulting or slamming someone?         There is a local car show that used to be held near Halloween in Salem Mass and I dressed my cuda up to look like a pumpkin and even got a trophy for it!!!
