The E-Body 1971 Plymouth HEMI 'Cuda is considered to be among the

　　most potent and legendary American supercars ever built. There were

　　114 produced in total for 1971: 107 hardtops and seven

　　convertibles. This HEMI 'Cuda hardtop is one of just 48 built for

　　1971 with Chrysler's TorqueFlite automatic transmission. Finished

　　in the factory-original Code FC7 In Violet paint, it is a confirmed

　　matching-numbers example as inspected and appraised in 2004 by

　　noted Chrysler expert Galen Govier, including the engine,

　　transmission, body, Fender Tags and Chrysler Production Broadcast

　　Sheets. Assembled at Chrysler's Hamtramck, MI, plant near Detroit,

　　the 'Cuda's factory options were many, including the A01 Light

　　Group, A34 Super Track Pack, A62 Rallye Cluster (including

　　tachometer, electric clock, 160-mph speedometer, trip odometer, oil

　　pressure gauge and wood-grained instrument cluster applique), C16

　　console, D34 TorqueFlite transmission, E74 426ci 2x4-barrel HEMI V8

　　engine, FC7 High Impact paint, G11 tinted glass, G36 racing

　　mirrors, J55 undercoating, R11 solid-state AM radio, S77 power

　　steering and U84 F60x15 raised-white-letter tires. In addition to

　　the aforementioned Govier appraisal report, factory options added

　　$1,839.85 to the 'Cuda's base price, confirmed by a copy of the

　　HEMI 'Cuda's Advance Dealer Shipping Notice issued on March 26,

　　1971, from Chrysler to selling dealer L.P. Steuart Silver Spring

　　Inc. of Silver Spring, MD. The dealer's New Car Pre-Delivery

　　Service Inspection form was duly completed on May 1, 1971, and a

　　copy is on file with the 'Cuda, with data that includes the

　　vehicle's Body Type (E), Paint Code (FC7), Serial Number matching

　　the last six VIN digits, H6XW Trim Code denoting High Grade Vinyl

　　Bucket Seats White & Black and the HEMI engine number, plus

　　confirmation of the car's original mechanical equipment, including

　　the TorqueFlite automatic transmission, power steering and power

　　brakes. A highly detailed rotisserie was completed by professionals

　　prior to the car's inspection and appraisal by Galen Govier in

　　April 2004. Three Fender Tags are present to the vehicle, with two

　　required to list all factory options, including the all-important

　　R1B denoting the car's 1971 HEMI production at Hamtramck, the

　　26-inch HEMI-spec radiator, plus the "HEMI Fender" Tag. Highly

　　documented and professionally restored, this 1971 Plymouth HEMI

　　'Cuda hardtop is from the last model year for this everlasting

　　Mopar legend. From the Frank Tiegs Collection. ** PREVIEW
