The realm of hot rods is captivating for the individualized twists that enthusiasts infuse into their creations. One of the best parts about building a car is that it can be one of the purest forms of expression, revealing a lot about the builder. Crafting a distinctive vision and breathing life into it involves navigating a narrative of twists and turns, each representing the evolution of an idea. Enter the stage: a 1970 Plymouth Cuda, aptly dubbed “Notorious.” Notorious, fresh from its spotlight at the 2023 SEMA show, recently graced the AutotopiaLA YouTube channel to showcase its boundary-pushing take on conventional customization.
A key focal point for uniqueness lies under the hood. Typically, old-school muscle cars adhere to a handful of tried-and-true engine combinations. However, Notorious diverges from the norm, boasting a robust 900 hp courtesy of a Dodge R5P7 NASCAR engine. This powerhouse promises a distinctive growl emanating from the exhaust because of this very unique choice of engine. Teamed up with a Richmond Super T-10 transmission featuring a unique shifter setup and a hybrid suspension that fuses together a C6 Corvette front end with a custom four-link rear – the car achieves a harmonious balance of power and technology.
In the case of a bespoke marvel like Notorious, the mechanical intricacies merely scratch the surface of the complete picture. The video below treats us to a comprehensive tour and overview of this meticulously crafted machine, unearthing the results of the countless hours invested in such a project. Every detail has been meticulously considered, resulting in a finished product that epitomizes perfection.
Both inside and out, Notorious is a masterpiece designed to captivate onlookers with its awe-inspiring aesthetics. It uses its slick looks to draw in a crowd, inviting them to wander from detail to detail, marveling at the intricacies and considering the meticulous process that brought this magnificent machine to life.
