Just 652 Hemi Cudas were produced in 1970, which in turn has made surviving cars like this example highly desirable on the current market. This car is a Canadian-spec Plymouth delivered in desirable factory Hi-Impact color known as In-Violet (Plum Crazy for Dodge buyers). Coupled with a white interior and white hockey-stripe graphic package, it is highly unique even to this day. This car was delivered new to Roblin Motors in Picton, Ontario, Canada, and under that argent-color Shaker scoop is the legendary NASCAR-derived 426/425 HP Hemi V-8 engine. Behind it is the A727 TorqueFlite automatic transmission, factory-beefed for the performance environment. When you let off the loud pedal, power front disc brakes help slow you down. The exterior, as noted, features the N96 Shaker hood with J45 hood pins, white Hemi hockey stripes, lower rocker moldings, auxiliary front lamps and “hemi ‘cuda” scoop identification. Inside are the white high-back bucket seats, center console with round-knob Slap-Stik shifter, Rallye instrument cluster, deluxe AM radio with 8-track player and three-speaker dash. Of course, the finishing touch is new-for-1970 Rallye wheels wearing F60-15 Goodyear Polyglas GT tires. According to a previous owner, this car was purchased new by a drag racer who was running a Super Bee at the time, and when the engine blew-up in the Super Bee, he installed the Hemi from this Cuda in the Super Bee. Years had passed when the Chrysler Registry decoded this Hemi Cuda’s fender tag. But just a few years later, the owner of the Chrysler Registry inspected the original owner’s Super Bee, which was still equipped with this car’s original 426 Hemi engine. Contact information was exchanged and eventually this Cuda and its original 426 Hemi were reunited again. Currently equipped with a period-correct 426 Hemi today, the original matching-numbers engine will be included.
