The Story
The 1971 Cuda stands as one of the most sought-after Mopars ever built, celebrated for its one-year-only styling, low production and aggressive performance options. With its bold grille treatment, fender gills and exclusive 1971-specific details, the ’71 model year has long been considered the pinnacle of E-body desirability. Collectors prize these cars not only for their rarity but also for the unmistakable presence they command—making any authentic, well-restored example a standout among muscle cars.
This particular ’71 Plymouth Cuda is a one of one in this configuration, as confirmed by the Chrysler Registry, finished in its factory FE5 Rallye Red with extremely rare and collectible factory black V6X billboards. It has been rotisserie restored to an exceptional standard and retains its matching-numbers 340 engine with TorqueFlite automatic transmission. Built at the Los Angeles plant and ordered with a strong list of factory performance options, this car combines its high-impact color with the driveline and equipment that make the 1971 Cuda so iconic.
Powered by its matching-numbers E55 340 CI 4-barrel V-8, this Cuda features the A36 Performance Axle Package with a 3.55 Sure Grip rear end, dual exhaust with chrome tips, a heavy-duty 26-inch radiator, J45 hood tie-down pins and factory road lamps. Its crisp, authentic presentation is elevated by correct drip rail moldings, wide sill moldings, belt moldings and color-keyed dual racing mirrors, and it is also optioned with the highly coveted and highly sought-after N96 fresh-air hood and V6X black billboards—what a combination.
Inside, the car features its proper H6X9 black vinyl bucket-seat interior with full door panels and the C16 woodgrain console, all restored to show-quality standards. Adding to its authenticity, the car is documented with its fender tag and broadcast sheet, confirming its factory configuration and highly desirable option list.
A one of one, rotisserie-restored FE5 1971 Cuda with documentation, this example checks all the right boxes for collectors seeking a top-tier E-body, combining rarity, correctness, condition and undeniable presence.
