The Chrysler Corporation has divested into several iconic automobile marques over the decades; one of these was the Plymouth marque. Introduced in 1928 as the Chrysler Corporation's budget-friendly car option indirect competition to Ford and Chevrolet. Over the years Plymouth evolved from a humble low-cost car to an iconic muscle brand during the 60s and 70s. The Plymouth Barracuda was produced from 1964 to 1974 under three generations. The Barracuda is arguably Plymouth's most sought-after car and is highly collectible. Interestingly the Barracuda and Cuda are two different trims. Up for grabs is a 1973 Plymouth Cuda with some tasty upgrades under the hood.
Exterior and Interior
This 1973 Plymouth Cuda is dressed in a no-nonsense black Sikkens enamel paint, heightening its menacing looks combined with the stance. The Cuda features a distinctive quad fin design on the front fenders along with a split grill, while the hood has dual vents. It sits on a set of vintage-style American Racing solid aluminum wheels. The interior of this Cuda has been reportedly fully redone in black, with a tan headliner added. An aftermarket Kenwood radio has been installed with a set of Sony speakers. This classic muscle car also includes a rally dashboard while the center console is host to a slapstick shift with programable shift lights. In addition, a quartz movement has been added to the onboard clock.
Engine
Typical of the time, Plymouth gave their star muscle car many engine options. This 1973 Plymouth Cuda is equipped with an aftermarket top-of-the-line 440 cu 7.2L 6-Pack V8 period correct but non-numbers matching. It is mated to a 727 Torque Flite transmission with a 3000 stall converter. The engine has undergone an engine rebore of 30 over. Other upgrades to the car include ceramic coated headers, an 8 ¾ rear with a 4.11 gear ratio, a 7-quart oil pan added, and a 1" sway bar for that extra maneuverability. It is reported that all the rubber bushings have been changed to polyurethane. The suspension has also been redone as reported by the seller, while stopping power is provided by disc brakes up front and drums at the back.
This 1972 Plymouth ’Cuda is a strong example of how the E-body platform can blend original pedigree with period-style muscle-car upgrades. Showing approximately 34,348 miles, this example is finished in Hugger Orange over a Black interior and carries the aggressive visual cues expected from a ’Cuda, including black side graphics, dual hood scoops, chrome bumpers, and Magnum 500-style wheels. The current owner reports that the car was originally equipped with a 340ci V8, while it is now powered by a larger 440ci V8 paired with a TorqueFlite 3-speed automatic. Performance-oriented upgrades include a 4-barrel carburetor, aftermarket aluminum intake manifold, MSD Digital 6AL ignition, aftermarket exhaust headers, and a dual exhaust system, giving this ’Cuda a considerably more muscular character than its original configuration.
Few American muscle cars carry the presence and legacy of the Plymouth ‘Cuda, and this 1972 example stands out with a striking execution that blends period-correct attitude with meticulous craftsmanship.

Plymouth’s third-gen Cuda was a top of the line pony car that was made between 1970 and 1974. All three generations of Cudas made embodied that spirit of classic American muscle ready to be unleashed on the streets. Today’s 1970 Plymouth Cuda is a fine example from Ballston Spa, New York, and has undergone a rotisserie restoration. For the uninitiated, this means that the car has been given restoration attention on all sides – much like a rotisserie chicken gets uniformly cooked. The current owner says that he is the second owner of this numbers-matching vehicle, and that the drivetrain has been upgraded and gone through as well. So let’s see what this car consists of, and find out why it’s a turnkey classic that you can buy and drive today if you choose.

Its blue and Merlot two-tone exterior, custom flame graphics, hand-painted rear quarter artwork, aftermarket air conditioning, and reupholstered interior make this a highly personalized build with plenty of visual character.
