A little update on these 'U' code Cudas, for those not in the know.
• Only 334 of these ‘U’ code pistol grip 4 speed ‘Cudas were manufactured in 1970. 618 automatics. It was the only year for this code in an E-body ‘Cuda
• The low production number is a result of the ‘V’ code option. For a mere $96.00 you could order the 440 6 bbl (Six Pack) setup. Most 1970 ‘Cuda buyers opted for the eye candy of 3 two barrel carbs and the extra 15 horsepower.
• The ‘U’ code was a single 4 barrel 440 (Super Commando) which produced 375 horsepower and 480 ft. lbs. of torque
• Due rust and the ravages of time; not many ‘U’ codes are still around. One noted Mopar expert claims this is 1 of 55 known to exist.
• This particular example had a rotisserie restoration performed on it in 2020, in its original Tor-Red (EV2) hi-impact paint. This paint was an extra $15.00 option back in '70!
• In addition to the aforementioned notes, this ‘Cuda has a bullet proof Dana rear w/ 4.10 gears and a thunderous AM radio!
• The lack creature comforts, leads one to believe that this ‘Cuda was built as a red light brawler.

There's gotta be more members on this board w/ this particular model. It almost seems like there are more Hemi Cuda owners on Moparts!
