Now is your chance to own an extremely rare piece of American History.
This Hemi Cuda is the very first production E-body 426 Hemi built at the Clairepointe Pre-production facility in Michigan. It's build date was August 1, 1969, and it's consecutive sequence number ends in 100003. It is very historically significant being the very first of only 652 built in the 1970 model year. Making the car even more rare is the fact that it is a 4-speed car and only 284 of those 652 were manually shifted Hemi Cudas. The rest being 727 Torqueflite automatics of which there were 368 built. This car is the total envy of any muscle car lover and the total epitome of what a muscle car is and should be. - Galen Govier

1970 E-body Plymouth Hemi Cuda
The total epitome of what a muscle car is and should be.
The first Hemi ever.
The one engine that stands head and shoulders above the rest is the Chrysler Hemi. As a major part of history in American muscle cars of the late 1960s and early 1970s, Or indeed of any time, the Hemi was quite simply the most powerful production engine of its time.
Chrysler in particular had much to thank the Hemi for, because of its effect on the publics Perception of Chrysler muscle car was out of proportion to the numbers actually made. A clue to its secret lay in that name: Hemi was short for Hemispherical, indicating the use of a Half-sphere-shaped combustion chamber. It is now recognized that this shape allows more room for Larger ports and valves, and a higher compression ratio in relation to the size of the combustion Chamber. With higher volumetric efficiency than a comparable engine, a Chrysler Hemi breathes deep, And deep breathing is one of the holy grails in the search for high horsepower.
