1974 Plymouth Cuda
360ci matching numbers, Broadcast sheet, Pristine restoration

1974 was the last year for the true Barracudas and only 4,989 units were built. Only 761 ?74 Cudas where equipped with the 360ci H.O. engine.

Options include: 727 automatic transmission, P/S, P/Disc brakes, console, bucket seats, S13 Rallye suspension, remote mirror, rear window defroster, A/C, light package, Tuff wheel, dual chrome sport mirrors, variable wipers, chrome exhaust tips, tape stripe, sport hood and Rallye wheels.

Thirty-five years after Chrysler launched one of the biggest legends in its performance line-up, the Plymouth Cuda remains one of the hottest commodities in the collector car market. This particular Cuda is an 85,000 original mile genuine L-code car that has been restored from the drive train to the interior with no expense spared whatsoever. As well, this car retains its original numbers matching engine and transmission with everything coded and correct down to its original Thermo-quad carburetor. Bare metal sprayed (PPG 3 stage urethane) over a 100 percent rust free body, the fit, finish and gap uniformity on this car is outstanding from end to end.

Even in 1974, the Plymouth Cuda packed a big dose of image and this car lives up to the billing. Crammed with a veritable warehouse full of comfort and performance options, all topped off by its factory buildsheet and original owners manual (with point of purchase dealership) this car is nothing less than a value slam dunk. This car is an outstanding find for the buyer looking to purchase a turn-key E body without dealing with the sky high prices associated with the likes of Six Pack and Hemi cars. A seriously beautiful car for a serious buyer only. Included in the sale are all related documentation including the broadcast sheet.

Actual L code 360 cars were rare and accounted for only 7 percent of Cudas made for 1974. One of 761 and documented from day one, this car is money in the bank.
Checking off the right box on a '74 Cuda order form produced a formidable street package and was one of the few cars engineered towards performance in 1974.
A glass smooth coating of 3 stage urethane covers absolutely pristine sheet metal. All body numbers matching down to the radiator support stamp.

Plymouth used a five gauge theme for the non Rallye dash that illuminates and eerie Roswell Green at night. Everything here is detailed to new down to the gauge glass that has been removed and polished.

The package centerpiece for the '74 Cuda was its LA 360 engine. Underrated at 245 HP, from 0 to 60 this engine feels every bit of 300 HP. All new and built to factory specs, this engine runs like a dream.

The Plymouth Cuda is an absolutely gorgeous styling exercise end to end and even after 33 years you'll never mistake it for anything else on the road. 1-318-640-4584
