There are cars that we stumble upon every now and again that leave us bewildered with how awesome they are and this 1973 ‘Cuda is one of those. Why? For starters the fit and finish of the thing is spectacular. The paint is brilliant and we dig the perfect and mile deep black accented by the bright slashes on the fenders, the shaker scoop, and the hockey stick call out striped on the rear quarters. We love the interior with the Corbeau seats, the perfectly fitted roll bar, the suspension with its nice pieces, coil overs, and beefed Dana 60 out back along with the Viper spec T-56 that sits in front of it. But the real thing that sets this car apart? That’s the engine and what an engine it is. A 462ci bored and stroked Dodge NASCAR mill that the seller claims is good for more than 900hp on pump gas, likely at an ungodly RPM range.

When this car was built, whoever was in charge of the budget didn’t have a tough job because it looks like the term budget had not been translated into whatever language said person was speaking. We’re not complaining because the car is so awesome. Because we’re not “no expense spared” type guys it is always interesting to see what happens when someone who does not have much in the way of financial limitations goes all out on a car. The asking price for this thing on eBay right now is $99,995 and it looks worth every penny. The engine itself must have been mind-boggling with regard to price, the body work was likely 10s of thousands of dollars, and if you want to sit and do the math, you can run up a $100,000 tally on this thing in  a hurry. Those CCW wheels? Not cheap!

Perhaps the shame in all of it is that whoever had the car built really didn’t drive it much. There are only 1,500 miles on the odometer after the build according to the guy who is selling the thing and we’re wondering if that is because it is too much of a handful, if the person who had it built ran out of interest, or maybe something else happened. Either way, this is something we’d love to do One Lap of America in or some other long distance racing type event. With a 40 gallon fuel cell, you’ll be able to eat up some miles even with a heavy right foot!

We’re going to need a moment alone here…
