The Plymouth Cuda is one of the most legendary muscle cars ever produced and excites car enthusiasts in every make and age group. Strong and muscular in its original form, the Koda sparked fear when it appeared in the rearview mirrors or lined up in the driveway at the tow bar.
Famous UFC announcer Joe Rogan had a Plymouth Cuda as his first car and wanted to replace it with a special chassis that could only be designed and built by Best of the Best in Custom Arena. Sick Fish was designed by Chip Foose and built by Troy Trepanier of Rad Rides by Troy.
What started as an ordinary 1970’s coda has been turned into a completely custom sick fish with really plenty to include. Countless hours of custom metal fabrication, top of the line components throughout, and unparalleled attention to detail. Regardless of what you see on the roof in the amazing paint job, custom front and rear blinds and single wheels or what you see under the hood of the powerful 528 Hemi petrol-powered, the attention to detail continues in what you don’t see. The entire interior is powder-coated for protection and fully lined with Dynamat Xtreme insulating liner to keep the cab quiet and cool.
