We can still imagine it parked in the VIP paddock at Le Mans or running along the coast at Monaco, turning heads among the café set as something much too brutal for its environment. The optional outside mirrors are painted body color, and the noteworthy 1971 Cuda trim-cheese-grater grille, front fender inserts, ‘Cuda emblems, chrome rocker moldings, and through-valance bright exhaust tips-are also on this car. The paint selected was not one of the highly visible colors available but instead a refined Winchester Gray, Code GA4, coupled with the black Shaker scoop, V3X black top, H6X9 black bucket-seat interior and black billboard graphics. That combination denoted the A33 Track Pak, which gave the car a 26-inch radiator, seven-blade viscous fan and Hemi suspension upgrades as well.

The driveline selected was for a deliberate driver, with the A833 Hemi 4-speed manual transmission coupled to a Dana 60 Sure Grip differential with a 3.54 final gear ratio. This car was destined for France, and as a result of heading to Europe, it came with the special export 240 KPH speedometer, which today shows a metric odometer reading of 98,553 kilometers (approximately 60,000 miles) since new. There were only to be 12 Hemi Cuda convertibles emerging from the plant during that model year, with five of those slated for non-U.S. Perhaps it’s best to start on the assembly line at Hamtramck, Michigan. Well-known in the Mopar hobby, this particular car is unique in so many ways that it becomes a challenge to know where to begin to describe it.

It is when you add things like “export,” “metric odometer,” ”one-of-one” and “same owner for over two decades” that even the most serious buyers begin to give it their full attention.
We all know that “rare,” ”desirable,” ”final-year” and “incredible” are words far more common than those cars will ever be. There are multiple terms that have defined what many consider to be the true “ultimate” American muscle car, the 1971 Plymouth Hemi Cuda convertible.
