WHOA! Stolen! The mod top Hemi Cuda of Steve Juliano, the only mod top Hemi Cuda, and worth 1.4 million bucks



Last featured in 2014 in Muscle Car Review, it was just this April when it was due to get loaded up and moved from the mansion in Pelham Manor (just North of the Bronx, between the golf courses and the country club) to the collection in Los Angeles, when the security company sent the alarm to Juliano. http://www.nydailynews.com/autos/news/plymouth-barracuda-worth-1-4m-stolen-westchester-home-article-1.2620854


Juliano owned Manhattan nightclubs and his father ran the Copacabana in Times Square. His collection of Mopar stuff is unmatched in the world. See the inside of his personal museum here: http://justacarguy.blogspot.com/2008/11/steven-juliano-collection-im-betting.html

it's rare that a car gets an engine transplanted from an older car to make it faster... it's also rare that anyone has an 'Cuda, or a 426 Max Wedge. Now, add the rare factor of owning that same car for 43 years


You simply do not hear of Ford and General Motors guys swapping in a motor that’s 10 years older than their car. Why? Because they don’t have anything in the arsenal that can hold a candle to the mighty Max Wedge. Ever heard of a guy putting a 409 in a Camaro and making it faster than it was stock? Exactly.

This started life as a 383 4 spd 'Cuda, and upgrading to a 426 Max Wedge was a no brainer when the Pro Street craze came along. Along with a stout 727 and a 4 thou converter, the change over was thorough, from blah to beast, and a narrowed Dana 60 was added for dependability. Tubs and rollcage complete the raceability, and it's been high 10s in the quarter mile for 3 decades
