1970 Plymouth Hemi Cuda
O nly 666 Cudas were equipped with the famous Hemi engines in 1970, making them one of the rarest and most envied muscle cars ever produced. Producing an incredible 425 horsepower at 5,000 rpm, the Hemi Cuda was designed for ferocious acceleration.
On the other hand, the Hemi Cuda, like other high-performance Cudas, possessed the finesse, flowing lines and good looks missing from other Mopar muscle machines. It also was a perfect contender among the muscle-bound pony cars of that year – a truly lean and mean pavement pounder. Although some enthusiasts argued that the Hemi Cuda was a tad heavy in the front, its capabilities in the rear made up for any misgivings.
With the Hemi performance package costing almost $900 versus $250 for the 440 Six Pack option, the choice of engines for the Cuda was a tough decision in 1970, and remains a highly debatable topic even today. On the other hand, the very cool shaker scoop came as standard equipment with the Hemi Cuda – not so with other models.
Because the Hemi Cuda is so rare and commands such a staggering amount of money, buyers need to be aware of Hemi Cuda lookalikes. The same holds true for other Cuda performance models. You can find yours at bestofshowautomotive . -LS
