Olds, that brings back too many memories. In 1974 I did a year at a Chrysler-Plymouth dealer as a Tech before starting a 35 year career with Ford. I was young and wrapped one of these beauties around a light pole during a test drive after a repair! Looked just like this one.

The Cuda was one fast car. I don't remember them with a HEMI but with that pumped up 390.

That's a long time ago for me, but I believe Chrysler made two different size hemi's

Do some research on this auto and you might find out that it shifts / more positively / faster than a manual...besides there were no stick shifts in the State when I purchased this car. It is without a doubt the wildest auto shift I've ever seen and its auto down shift is a killer.

Let's say you are doing 60 mph, hit the brakes and it jumps into 2nd grear... locked in (with out of D drive turned on) until you either shift up to 3rd grear or it hits 6100 rpms at which it will shift up for you.

Even with D drive is on when it comes out of 1st grear and you are pushing it you will be really glad there is a head rest behind your head! It jerks you into it.

Yes a stick would be nice, but frankly now that I've learned to use this manual/auto I like it better. Just my opinion.

Took it out yesterday...turned off the ESP...paid my moneies and it was tracked 5 times 0 to 60 under 4 seconds (3.8 -3.9) This is one stock bitchin' ride. Yes it can be re-chipped and super charge to go faster... but I'm not interested in that.

I believe she will delimit out around 175 -180 mph... more than fast enough for this ole-man...She is truly a 1970's muscle car. And after yesterday I now know she is much faster than my old stock 426 HEMI.

Olds,
I really like that color!

A friend of mine used to drag a '63 Plymouth 426 Hemi with the push-button auto transmission. This was his family car that he would drive all week then on Sunday would install drag slicks and drive it to the various drag strips.

He would consistently beat the Chev and Fords that were 4-speed manuals and strictly drag cars trailered to the strips. He was a riot! ;D
