1970 Plymouth Hemi Cuda With Just 81 Miles Races To Auction

The Plymouth Hemi Cuda signified the end of an era. It was the last of the fire-breathing monsters, born as the curtain fell over a decade of American muscle and big block V-8s –– a glorious time we won’t ever get back.

Only for one buyer at Mecum Auctions’ sale in Indianapolis May 12-17, that era can be re-lived in the form of this pristine 1970 Hemi Cuda, boasting just 81 original miles. It is believed to be the lowest-mileage example in existence; a time-capsule back to that treasured period of American motoring.

LOL...Was a members ride in 2005! And only had 61 miles on it then...

Quick Bowtie's Unreal Hemi!

I've had the impression that the write-up for this auction isn't telling the truth on the whole car - it's stock, but not original.

----Part of the truth would be the high 10 second ET range. That was record breaking territory for SS/DA cars back then. By their own description this Cuda had nowhere near the mods needed (sheet metal, etc.) to get down into that rareafied ET area. Ill believe the car did ETs in that zone when I see a guaranteed time slip.....Bill S

You're right. Which is why I don't believe all that nice red sheet metal in the trunk of the 2005 pics is anywhere near original. 10 sec. SS/DA car? It was chopped.

I've got some pictures of the car when it had 61 miles on it.

----Especially after seeing these pics I believe someone just misstated the ET claim. Appears wonderfully original to me!.....Bill S

What is the significance of the color change of the shaker from black to argent silver????
