Vehicle description
This documented 1971 Plymouth 'Cuda, in its FC7 Plum Crazy with white billboard stripes configuration, is powered by its numbers-matching 383ci V8 engine rated at 300hp paired with an A833 4-speed manual transmission and a 3.23:1 Sure Grip 8.75-inch rear end. Originally built October 7, 1970, at the Hamtramck, MI, plant, it was delivered as a Canadian-export model finished in FC7 Plum Crazy with V6W white billboard stripes and equipped with a desirable factory option list that includes the A01 Light Package, power brakes, bucket seats with console, sport hood, hood tie-down pins, fender-mounted turn-signal indicators, drip rail and belt moldings, Rallye wheels and an AM radio. Supported by a comprehensive binder, it retains its original Build Sheet, Fender Tag, registration history, import documentation and decades of maintenance records, along with extensive receipts for mechanical work and body/trim restoration, Canadian registrations and multiple appraisals, including a 1992 evaluation verifying low mileage and authenticity, plus a lifetime-warranty Walker muffler installed in 1995. A full restoration was completed in 1992, during which the vehicle was refinished in red. Most major mechanical and interior components are stated to remain original or correct to factory specification, and the drivetrain is described as operating smoothly, with the engine starting cleanly and the 4-speed shifting as expected. Only 501 383ci 4-speed hardtops were produced for 1971.
