    I've never seen a Hemi 'Cuda in this color. The white interior and top make it. Gorgeous!

    Drop dead gorgeous. There's room for this color; it's refreshing instead of the wild hues, which I also like. I do prefer these beasts with a rear spoiler, but wouldn't change a thing about this car. One of the very few that go up in value each year.

    I love the subdued color and have always been a sucker for vinyl tops especially white.... white has that kitschy look which would have been described as classy back in the day. It was probably an exec who ordered it. My favorite part of anything vintage is to imagine the history of the item.

    I’m equally as interested in who ordered this car as the car itself. It took a very unique person to drop that much money on a top of the line pony car with the most driver oriented options while having it be as unassuming as possible at the same time. I’m pretty sure the original owner would’ve liked to order the raisin bran hood instead of the shaker if it was possible on a hemi car. In essence this person wanted a 4 speed hemi cuda optioned out to look like a gran coupe.

      Yeah exactly my thoughts. The history behind the car would be cool to dig into. Some say cars are just cars. But to some they are a part of you. Often the car is an extension of our own personality and what makes us different. The person that ordered this ‘Cuda is an interesting fella.

    Just the way I would've ordered my Hemi Cuda in 1970. Only difference would be that I would've went with the steelies and dog dish caps to give it the full sleeper look. Awesome ride. It doesn't get any better than that as far as big block pony cars go although I'm more a fan of B-Body Mopar's. But I like all American muscle cars really regardless of the brand

      Mac10 Daddy it’s either a 3:54, or 4:10. Track pack vs Super track pack. 3:54 was better for the street. I had an original 440-6 Cuda with the 4 speed/Dana. It came with 3:54, and I changed it to 4:10. The 440-6 was better performing on the street, but nothing beat the Hemi when you opened the hood, and in value.
