1971 Plymouth ‘Cuda Convertible

If you never want to see another Plymouth ‘Cuda Convertible on the road—except, of course, for the one you’re piloting—opt for a four-speed manual Hemi ‘Cuda drop-top; only three were made.

Why? Convertibles were out of fashion by the 1970s, and insurance rates had skyrocketed for big-block muscle machines. That confluence of factors led to Plymouth only selling a dozen Hemi ‘Cuda convertibles in total. As it happens, this was also the last year that the 7.0-liter V-8 was offered.
