The 1970 Plymouth HEMI® ‘Cuda is more than just a car—it’s a symbol of raw muscle and iconic design. On January 17th, 2025, a breathtaking example of this legendary machine will roll across the auction block at Mecum Kissimmee.
What makes this HEMI ‘Cuda so special? For starters, it’s one of only 284 4-speed HEMI Hardtops produced in 1970. Adding to its rarity, this particular car is finished in the stunning In-Violet Metallic (FC7) paint, a color that makes it one of just six registered examples listed in the Chrysler Registry.
This ‘Cuda is documented with an original broadcast sheet, original fender tag, and verification from the Chrysler Registry, ensuring its authenticity. Renowned Mopar expert Dave Wise has also confirmed its provenance, making it a highly desirable vehicle for serious collectors.
Beneath the Shaker hood lies the original, matching-numbers 7.0-liter (426 cubic-inch) HEMI V8 engine, one of the most revered powerplants in automotive history. Paired with a factory 4-speed manual transmission and the A33 Track Pack rear end, this car delivers the kind of performance that made the HEMI ‘Cuda a legend on the streets and drag strips.
The exterior features classic muscle car styling with details like the Shaker hood with hold-down pins, chrome driver’s mirror, and rally-inspired Rallye wheels wrapped in Goodyear Polyglas GT tires. Inside, the black bucket seats, Hurst pistol grip shifter, and Rallye dash complete the car’s period-correct look and feel.
This HEMI ‘Cuda has been meticulously cared for over the years, undergoing a comprehensive nut-and-bolt restoration. A fresh paint job in 2019 ensures it shines as brightly today as it did when it first left the factory floor.
For Mopar enthusiasts and muscle car collectors alike, this 1970 Plymouth HEMI ‘Cuda represents the pinnacle of American performance and design. Its rarity, originality, and iconic features make it one of the most exciting cars to hit the Mecum auction stage.
Don’t miss your chance to witness history when this In-Violet masterpiece crosses the block. Mecum Kissimmee is the place for anyone looking to own a genuine piece of automotive legend.
