This stunning, numbers matching 1972 Plymouth Cuda has undergone a meticulous nut and bolt restoration completed in 2024, with fewer than 500 miles driven since completion. From top to bottom, this car presents at an exceptional level and captures everything enthusiasts love about the final years of true Mopar muscle.
Verified by VIN BS23H2B375050 and its matching fender tag, this is a genuine factory Cuda. The VIN decodes as follows: B designates the Plymouth Barracuda line, S confirms the special Cuda trim package, 23 identifies it as a two door hardtop, H denotes the factory 340 cubic inch 4 barrel V8, 2 represents the 1972 model year, and B confirms assembly at the famed Hamtramck Assembly Plant plant. Even better, this car retains its documented, numbers matching drivetrain, including the original 340 V8 and factory Chrysler TorqueFlite A727 automatic transmission. Power steering and brakes were all part of this factory package. Under the hood sits Chrysler’s legendary 340 cubic inch small block V8, one of Mopar’s most respected performance engines. Factory rated at 240 net horsepower and approximately 290 lb ft of torque under the newer SAE net rating system, real world output was widely understood to be considerably stronger. Featuring a high flow 4 barrel carburetor, high compression internals, and strong breathing cylinder heads, the 340 delivered excellent throttle response and impressive performance in a lightweight E body platform. Paired with the durable 727 TorqueFlite automatic, this drivetrain remains one of the most desirable combinations for both drivability and reliability.
Finished in its correct factory F35 Rallye Red, this Cuda commands attention from every angle. The paint quality is outstanding, highlighting the aggressive E body styling, muscular fender lines, and unmistakable stance that made the Cuda a legend. Chrome, trim, and brightwork all present beautifully and reflect the quality of the restoration.
The interior has been restored to factory specification and presents as new. Everything from the seating and trim to the instrumentation and controls reflects the same level of care and authenticity seen throughout the car. This car came with factory A/C and has a Bluetooth modern sound package.
Underneath, the restoration continues with a fully detailed chassis, suspension, and driveline components. The undercarriage is as impressive as the top side, showing the kind of detail expected in a high level restoration.
Real, documented, numbers matching 1972 Cudas have become increasingly difficult to find, especially restored examples of this caliber. With its original drivetrain, iconic Rallye Red finish, and fresh nut and bolt restoration, this is an outstanding opportunity to own one. Don’t miss it!
