Plymouth Hemi 'Cuda (1970 to 1971)

The Plymouth Hemi Cuda was introduced for the 1970 model year. The Hemi Cuda was the top of the range variant for the Third Generation Plymouth Barracuda. The Hemi Cuda was available as a Coupe or the much rarer Convertible and was fitted with a 7.0L Hemi V8 engine. This revered engine had an output of 425hp which was sent through manual or automatic transmission options to the rear wheels. Due to the large power generated by the Hemi, these cars were given uprated suspension and structural reinforcements as well. The Plymouth Hemi Cuda was produced until 1971, with only a total of 780 examples built, making it one of the most sought after American muscle cars on the market.
