The 340 ci V8 4bbl listed at 240hp still pushes the Cuda down the road at a respectable rate, feeling lively and taunt thanks to its newly restored/rebuilt credentials. Genuine BS code Cuda’s are a rare car and increasingly hard to find. This particular example has been painstakingly built by someone we have known now for several years and have been fortunate enough to have a number of his cars in our showroom in the past.

We have carried out a shake-down of Cuda to make sure all the restored parts and more importantly the rebuilt engine is operating correctly before handing over to its new owner and is all now set to go.
