"Finding a low mileage one owner Cuda is hard enough, this one has the rare Factory Mod Top option with floral vinyl top and interior.

"The original owner bought this from the local Chrysler Plymouth Imperial dealership Friedman Motors Inc. on July 15, 1969 at the time she was 57 years old and just loved the pretty yellow flowers on the top and interior! She spent her hard-earned money from working pressing shirts to make a down payment. Then made payments as she drove the car to work until she retired at 60. Since then the car has spent most of its time in the garage, taken out only to have the oil changed and to go for a spin around the block to knock off the cob webs. The car was continually serviced through the years to ensure that it was ready to go should the owner get the urge to take it for a spin."

"The Mod Top trim option was designed to get the 60s youth market! Remember the Mod Squad? (The hippie and love child culture) "Flower power" but this one attracted the attention of a little old lady and its condition shows her care!

"The car is equipped with a 318 V-8 with torqueflite transmission bucket seats console, power steering, sport stripes, bumper guards, light package and heavy-duty suspension with sway bar! The original jack appears new and from what the owner believes may have never been removed from the trunk, the spring that holds it in place is even in excellent condition."

Dave adds these tidbits of information:

"This is a car with 20,793 original miles which i purchased on January 7,2000. [...] my wife was actually impressed with the car when i got it home, and i am glad i bought it. Also, This car actually has the original wide oval spare tire and it probably has never touched the ground except maybe at the factory!! "
