Description:
A 1970 Plum Crazy HemiCuda Convertible with a 528 Aluminum 650 HP Hemi engine. We are selling our 1970 HemiCuda Convertible that was just finished after a nearly 5 year restoration. We have not driven the car on highways and have not raced it in the 1/4 mile or shown it in any Mopar Sanctioned events. The car is capable of quarter mile times of 11 to 12 seconds and will handle a road course like a sports car. It will be an award winner at any show you take it to and it turns heads where ever is goes.
The car was completely disassembled and blasted on a rotisserie. From that point, every body part with any rust or damage was replaced with NOS or a Mopar authorized reproduction part. To handle the power of the Hemi, the frame rails were capped with 18 gal. steel caps that were welded full length to the floor pans. All of the floor pans, firewall and cowl panels are full length welded along each seam for strength. The front radiator support is a 2" x 2" steel unit from XV Motor Sports along with their tubular steel inner fender braces. Together these tie the front of the chassis together for strength and high performance handling. The rear of the car is reinforced with 1/4" steel plates welded along the brace that runs from rear wheel well to wheel well. The roll bar is made of 2 - 1 1/2" DOM steel tubes with sheet steel fabricated over the outside and painted with black crinkle paint. The tubes are welded to 6" x 12" Steel plates that bolt to matching plates on the bottom of the car that are welded to the frame rails.
The engine was broken in and tuned on a chassis dyno where it produced 427 HP and 440 ft. pounds of torque at the rear wheels at 5000 rpm. If we had taken the speed up to 6500 rpm where the engine is rated, we estimate that there would be another 100 HP at the rear wheels. To compare, the original street Hemi engines produced around 380 HP at the rear wheels. The transmission was also built by Diamondback Racing. The converter is a 9 1/2" TCI unit with a 3000 rpm stall. The rear end is a Strange Dana 60 with a 355 powr-lock differential and 11 3/4" Mopar Performance disc brakes.
The front suspension is a Reilly Motor Sports AlterKation power rack and pinion system. The front brakes are 10.75 discs with 225 - 60 - 15 tires on 7" rallye rims. The dana housing was shortened to allow use of the entire wheel well so that the 275 - 60 - 15 Micky Thompson radial street slicks mounted to 8" rallye rims fit nicely. There is also a Just Suspensions Groundpounder 4 shock setup to eliminate wheel hop and improve traction to get the horsepower to the ground.
