1972 Plymouth Cuda

1972 Plymouth Cuda

The 'Cuda was released by Plymouth in 1964 and evolved greatly throughout the years. It was initially based on the Valiant but in 1970 changed over to the exclusive Chrysler E-body. This year introduced a completely new design and really cemented the 'Cudas spot in the muscle car world. This 1972 belongs to the 3rd generation which was unique because it actually reverted the look towards the 1970 model with a split grill, single headlights but also incorporated 4 circular taillights. This car is in good condition and was originally purchased by a service member who had it shipped over to Europe. Upon returning to the US he had it shipped back and eventually the car found its way to a private collection. The body is very solid and repainted in a nice bright Red that has a glossy finish. It has multiple factory options which included the sport hood, OS dual racing mirrors, all tinted glass, roof drip rail moldings, wide sill moldings, belt moldings, and decklid moldings. The bumpers are nicely chromed and all of the stainless trim and emblems look good. Adding to that muscle car feel are the nice Black wheels with BF Goodrich Radial T/A tires.

The car is powered by its original 340ci V8 4 barrel motor that runs great. Everything is clean under the hood and it is topped off with a single snorkel air cleaner. AC has been added and is a more modern system with a Sanden compressor that uses R134a refrigerant. Another unique feature on the car is it was factory ordered with a 3 speed manual transmission that was fairly uncommon. The car sounds great through its factory dual exhaust that exits through chrome tips out of the rear valance.

The interior has been redone at some point in the past and features high back bucket seats in Black cloth. It has lap belts and the upholstery is all in good shape throughout. Between the seats is the manual shifter with Red knob that moves through the gears smoothly. The dash has a very stock appearance with its original gauges, knobs, switches and more. The trunk houses the spare and original jack as well as the stock mat.

This very cool Mopar has a great look and runs well as well.
