In recent years, the successors of the original Chrysler Corporation have used the term “Redeye” in marketing modern HEMI packages, but for those who recall the old days, that is certainly the apt description for this car as well. This Cuda's comprehensive restoration to like-original specs was done with provenance provided by an Elite Dave Wise Report and a Chrysler Registry Report. Of course, the FE5 Rallye Red paint alone is an eyeful, but selecting it and then adding the rare Elastomeric front and rear bumpers plus the red factory Shaker hood and a matched red interior meant you could really “paint the town red” with this Cuda.
This car is also a factory V-Code 4-speed 'Cuda, 1 of the 334 produced in 1970. It has retained the original matching-numbers drivetrain, with the 440 6-BBL/390 HP V-8 engine rumbling underhood. That quiver of the Shaker torques to attention when the trio of Holley 2-barrel carburetors are at WOT, and you are indeed the driver with its Pistol Grip-stirred A833 4-speed manual transmission and a 3.54 SureGrip Dana 60 rear axle, both part of the A33 Track Pak. This car has power brakes and the Hemi-grade suspension thanks to this engine as well.
Outside are trademark Cuda trim items like road lamps, hood pins, rocker moldings and chrome tips, with a 440 hockey stripe graphic ending below the rear spoiler and the black vinyl roof as a perfect compliment. Inside the red vinyl interior is the Rallye instrument cluster with tach and clock, a center console with woodgrain applique, remote driver's mirror, red center sport steering wheel, pedal brightwork, and Music Master AM radio with optional rear speaker. Chrome touches like drip rail, body sill, body belt and rear deck moldings help accent the car's bold 15-inch Rallye wheels wearing E60-15 Goodyear Polyglas GT tires, with the inflatable spare in the trunk.
Color makes a statement about one's ownership of any car. If you are hot-blooded and not afraid to be seen in this “red alert,” this hot opportunity should not be missed.
