Theo's Cuda – the build gallery

See the build behind the feature restomod Cuda in today's issue (#449) of Unique Cars magazine

Theo Totos of Melbourne was kind enough to share his 1973 Plymouth Cuda as a feature car in issue 449 of the magazine (out Feb 4, 2021).

While we show you around the complete car in the mag, there's a whole other story behind building it. 

As Theo told us: "I came across this car as a project, all stripped out and nothing in it. After a few years of blood, sweat and tears, it’s come to this and I’m very happy.

"It was an original car with matching numbers and a 340 (5.6lt) in the front. The original block had already been bored out to 40 over and there was some wear in the bores, and I was a bit wary of going 60 over. So we put the original aside and found another block and took that out to 416ci (6.8lt)."

Of course there's a lot more to it, so see the magazine for the full report. 

In the meantime, enjoy his gallery of build shots, from bare shell to trophy-winner. (Oh and that last pic is with Dad – yep, they're a Mopar family!)
