Hemmings, the world’s largest online collector car marketplace, today announced the upcoming, online live auction of an exceptionally rare 1971 Plymouth ’Cuda Convertible, one of the most-desirable Mopar® muscle cars ever produced. Given the rarity of the vehicle, Hemmings is featuring a special two-week auction window, launching today for interested buyers and Mopar muscle car enthusiasts to monitor the auction’s bidding.
Of the 292 (some sources cite 374) ’Cuda convertibles built for the 1971 model year, only 30 were equipped with a 340-cu.in. V8 engine, paired to a heavy-duty, four-speed manual transmission. It is only one of five vehicles at the time that were exported to Canada, and has been meticulously rotisserie-restored to factory specifications. It currently resides in Florida and is offered with a clean title in the seller’s name.
Finished in Plymouth’s high-impact Tor-Red (EV2), this numbers-matching ’Cuda Convertible is highly optioned, featuring power windows, a power top, billboard stripes, and a pistol-grip shifter. The seller notes that the car remains in excellent condition, with its original 340 V8 refreshed, painted, and detailed to factory spec.
“For more than 71 years, Hemmings has been the trusted marketplace for collector cars,” said Jonathan Shaw, President of Hemmings. “It’s especially rewarding when sellers return after a successful result—like this consignor, who sold a 1970 Hemi ’Cuda in June and is now listing a 1971 ’Cuda Convertible with Hemmings. That recurring confidence underscores the trust collectors place in Hemmings to connect them with the right buyers and deliver results.”

- Original 340-cu.in. OHV V8 (275 hp) engine, with numbers matching
