Description : Gateway Classic Cars of St. Louis is proud to present this 1972 Plymouth Cuda!
The much-beloved Cuda still has some of the finest body lines even today. This prime example was originally red with black interior and stays true to its roots today. The owner documented number matching engine and transmission have a mild 5,000 miles on the build. The rear end is spinning a 3.23 gear and cruises very nicely. Most people only want to talk about the 440, and of course it is the more powerful car, but in this case a well-sorted 340 is a very good engine. The head design was a bit ahead of it's time, they cool better, and above all they are lighter which makes the car more pleasurable to drive on modern roads. The car was rotisserie restored within the last few years and has had minor details touches up as the car has been driven. The notorious rear quarters have been replaced and this car looks and feels solid all the way around!
