At SEMA, we met David Clark, who told us all about his 1974 Plymouth ’Cuda, aka “Hellfish.” This build dates back to 2017, when David bought two raffle tickets at the Mopar Heaven meet at the Texas Motor Speedway. After the event, David got a call saying he had won a Hellcat crate motor.
That kicked off a seven-year journey of planning, parts (which include a TREMEC five-speed manual, Wilwood brakes, and a Control Freak suspension), and setbacks. All of those ups and downs led to David accomplishing his goal: showing Hellfish in all its supercharged V8 glory at SEMA. Beating other Hellcats and a Hellcat Redeye at the drag strip was a nice bonus.
