Pro touring powerhouse! Rotisserie restoration! 1971 Lemon Twist 'Cuda tribute has got the recipe for success with a smoking hot 500 stroker crate engine under the hood, pistol grip 5-speed manual, plus an abundance of suspension upgrades that will have you frosting your undies when cutting the corners. Hope you have an appetite for speed!

EXTERIOR: Contemporary spin on a classic! It was taken down to a bare shell to be worked from every angle. The restorer claimed this car was 100% rust free. The bumpers have been smoothed and painted body color. The front grille was also painted body color and “fish gills” were added to the fenders. The matte black Shaker hood scoop and rear go wing really enhance the profile. The hood pins, 440 billboard callouts, and blacked out tail panel with 'Cuda emblem look really tough. The headlights and taillights are in fantastic condition. The glass appears to be original with a tint applied. The chrome accents have a lustrous shine. Looking down the side of the body you will see smooth contours and crisp lines. The doors close easily with minimal effort. The Lemon Twist paint is a classic high impact color that certainly makes a statement. It is equipped with dual sport mirrors. She's rolling on a modern version of the classic Mopar Rallye wheels that are 18” U.S. Mags. They are wrapped in BFGoodrich Radial tires that are a little fatter in the back.

INTERIOR: Beautifully refinished! All the seats have been reupholstered with matching vinyl. The handy center console with storage features a very cool pistol grip 5 speed manual shifter. A controller for the electronic fuel injection is easily accessible. The custom stereo has amazing sound quality and bass thanks to the highly upgraded JL Audio speakers. It also has a chrome tilt steering column and aftermarket leather wrapped wheel with a nice fat grip. The custom gauge bezel houses an array of Auto Meter gauges monitoring all the vitals. It also has extra air vents under the dash and modern climate control knobs that operate smoothly. The headliner, dash pad, and carpeting were all replaced. The side panels and door panels were also replaced but retain their original handles and levers that are in good shape. The driver's door panel has a remote mirror control and a few insignificant scratches. The dome light is working.

ENGINE COMPARTMENT: Half the fun is opening the shaker hood! Under the functioning ram air scoop is a 500 cubic inch Mopar Performance stroker crate engine generating about 600 horsepower. The ensemble is topped off with an Edelbrock Weber Pro-Flo fuel injection system for turnkey reliability. It is flanked by a set of Heddman Hedders and equipped with air conditioning, power steering, and power brakes. Additionally, it was upgraded with Edelbrock aluminum heads, a hydraulic clutch, full MSD ignition, billet serpentine front runner system, and aluminum radiator with dual electric fans. The underside of the hood, fenderwells, and firewall are all nicely painted body color. What a pretty powerplant!

TRUNK COMPARTMENT: Under the trunk lid and jamb are nicely painted just like the body. The weatherstrip was replaced. The battery was relocated to the trunk and has a nice billet aluminum hold down. There is a custom speaker enclosure with a large amplifier and subwoofer by JL Audio.

UNDERSIDE: Highly upgraded and flipped on a rotisserie! The front k-member has been replaced and upgraded with rack & pinion steering, tubular control arms, coilover adjustable gas shocks, plus a big fat swaybar. Out back it has a 4 link setup with adjustable QA1 coilover gas shocks and tubular torsion bars. The brakes were upgraded to disc at all 4 wheels with slotted rotors and a custom e-brake assembly. The stainless-steel exhaust is also upgraded with headers, an x-pipe, Magnaflow mufflers, and rectangular tips exiting through the rear valance. The gas tank was replaced and it also has an external electric fuel pump with all new lines too. Looking up at the 500 cubic inch engine it has a high torque starter and a Milodon extra capacity oil pan. The upgraded Tremec 5 speed manual transmission also looks fresh with a heavy duty scatter shield and a hydraulic clutch. It has a strong and lightweight aluminum driveshaft that transfers power back to a 9 inch rear end with 3.89 posi gears and Currie axles. The floors are solid and rust free with neatly applied body colored paint.
