Unique 1971 Plymouth HEMI ‘Cuda Heading to Mecum Kissimmee

A truly rare and special 1971 Plymouth HEMI ‘Cuda is set to cross the auction block at Mecum Kissimmee on Saturday, January 18th, 2025. This highly original example stands out not only for its rare 4-speed transmission but also for its exceptional condition, including mostly original paint and the inclusion of two fender tags backed by a Dave Wise Report.

With only 59 HEMI ‘Cudas produced with a 4-speed in 1971, this example is one of the most desirable in existence, further heightened by its distinctive True Blue Metallic (GB5) color, of which only 10 or fewer are believed to have been made.

The car is powered by the iconic 7.0-liter (426 cubic-inch) HEMI V8 engine, known for its racing heritage. This powerhouse produces 425 horsepower, fed through dual 4-barrel carburetors and paired with the A833 New Process 4-speed manual transmission. The Track Pak (A33) option, designed for enhanced performance, includes a Dana 60 Sure Grip differential with a 3.54 gear ratio, premium cooling components, and power brakes. Power steering ensures smooth handling for this high-performance muscle car.

The exterior of this ‘Cuda is unmistakable with its classic Shaker hood, the Go Wing rear spoiler (A45), and road lamps, while black vinyl stripes and hood pins add to its aggressive look. Inside, the car features bucket seats, a Hurst Pistol Grip shifter, a Rallye instrument cluster with a tachometer, and an upgraded AM radio with an auxiliary cassette player (R26). The 15-inch Rallye wheels wrapped in Goodyear Polyglas GT tires complete the car’s period-correct look.

With only a few minor updates, including a replaced radiator core support, this 1971 Plymouth HEMI ‘Cuda is in extraordinary condition and has never been publicly offered for sale until now. For collectors, this car represents a chance to own a rare piece of American muscle car history.

This 1971 Plymouth HEMI ‘Cuda is a prime example of classic muscle car performance, with an original drivetrain, mostly original paint, and documentation to prove its authenticity. The combination of rare features, performance options, and condition makes this a standout in any collection. For more information on the car and the upcoming auction, visit Mecum.com.
