"Curious 'Cuda"

GR Auto Gallery is pleased to offer this1971 Plymouth Cuda Convertible. This example is presented in the eye-catching and highly desirable Curious Yellow, paint code GY3. Its bold exterior is perfectly complemented by a white power operated soft top that lowers at the press of a button, allowing you to fully experience the open air thrill these E Body Mopars can provide. The color keyed grille, Shaker hood, and iconic Gull Wing spoiler all play into the legendary image of these vintage muscle cars, offering a visual statement that ensures no one mistakes this automobile for anything but a piece of American automotive history. Driving the Cuda on its original style Rallye wheels wrapped in BFGoodrich Radial T/A tires provides both era correct authenticity and exceptional handling characteristics that keep it firmly planted on the pavement.

The Cuda name is revered by collectors and enthusiasts for its striking combination of performance, style, and rarity. In 1971, Plymouth produced very few Cuda convertibles, and the few that remain today are among the most sought after muscle cars on the planet. The Cuda was born in an era when big block engines, vivid paint options, and aggressive body lines defined the muscle car genre. Now representing the pinnacle of Mopar collectibility, these cars are more than just automobiles; they are cultural icons. The addition of road lights, often considered a premium option, gives the car an even more distinct presence and harkens back to a time when such features were both functional and a sign of exclusivity.

Under the hood you will find a professionally installed 426 cubic inch V8 crate motor paired with a smooth shifting five speed manual transmission. Your hands will rest on a Hurst Pistol Grip shifter, an iconic piece of Mopar performance history that ensures precise gear changes and an unmatched sense of driver engagement. The white leather interior, enhanced by Rallye gauges and a Rim Blow steering wheel, creates an environment that is both luxurious and performance oriented. The AM/FM/Cassette radio adds a touch of period correct entertainment while power steering and front power brakes contribute to confident road manners and daily drivability.

Although this car now boasts a powerplant and drivetrain far more potent than stock, it began life with a 318 cubic inch V8, automatic transmission, and black interior. Through thoughtful upgrades, it has evolved into a show quality example that captures the essence of the original but offers the enhanced performance, comfort, and style that discerning collectors value. Such tasteful modifications have only increased the Cuda's prestige, making it a machine that stands proudly among the greats in the world of vintage American muscle.
