Gen III Hemi-Powered 1970 Plymouth Cuda

Gen III Hemi-Powered 1970 Plymouth Cuda

Chris Newell's dream 1970 Plymouth Cuda is reborn with modern Gen III Hemi power. Acquired as a rough shell, it underwent extensive restoration to become a restomod masterpiece. The Cuda features a 5.7-liter Hemi V8 with a Comp Cams 'Thumpr' camshaft, ported throttle body, custom cold air intake, and TTI headers, generating approximately 430 horsepower. A classic Chrysler A833 four-speed manual transmission complements the setup. Upgraded with QA1 tubular crossmember, Viking Performance shocks, Wilwood big brake kit, and a custom four-link rear suspension, this Cuda balances vintage styling with contemporary performance. Highlights include repositioned side mirrors, a brighter white paint, and gunmetal gray stripes.
