Default Something you don't see everyday.

I was at a crusie last night and the guy who sponsors & runs the cruise brought his Hemi Cuda. Talk about stealth. Black on black, looks like he had the original shaker hood removed and installed a 440-6 pack scoop. He also removed the "Hemi" and "Cuda" emblems from the car. In the engine compartment though, there's no hiding that Hemi. The ultimate sleeper.

A friend of mine wanted a couple pics next time I saw the Cuda and I thought some of you would like to see them too.

I had to srape my lower jaw off the pavement. :eek: What's this car worth? $100K?? :confused:

That is really a truly awesome car. I know that there are many that would rather have a 454 than a 426 Hemi but that Hemi mystic is just mindblowing. Thanks for posting the pics.

Yeah, but by the time you see the license plate; it's too late :yesnod:

Hemi Cuda is a very cool car! It's good to see that people are really driving them, not olny keeping them in carage! :cheers:

Beautiful car. Love Hemi Cudas but his one has lots of non original parts. 100K I doubt it. Not to be picky I still would like to own it anyway.

You can't deny the eye appeal. I doubt it's a real Hemi car though. Most likely a bigblock (383-440) car with an MP Hemi (look at the intake. Should be twin Carters). The Hemi will also have a Dana 60 but a 440-6 car could also have the Dana. The car's VIN would tell all since the engine code is a component of the VIN. Nice car but $100k...no way.
