While it’s uncommon to encounter an entirely original, unrestored ‘Cuda, the vehicle featured in these photos is a tantalizing example. However, there’s a twist: it’s not entirely untouched. Despite its impressive exterior and interior, the car’s engine has been swapped, which may be a deal-breaker for some enthusiasts.
