You won’t want the cure for this!

The Ringbrothers have unveiled their latest muscle car build at the SEMA Show and you definitely won’t miss it.

The 1970 Plymouth ‘Cuda is called “Infected” with good reason.

The paint is a custom color inspired by Plymouth’s classic Panther Pink that Ringbrothers commissioned from BASF and has named “Pink Eye.”

That’s a tip of the hat to the modern supercharged V8 Hellcat Redeye crate engine under the hood, which sends 807 hp to the rear HRE wheels through a Bowler Transmissions Tremec TR-6060 six-speed manual transaxle.

“The ‘Cuda has always been one of those cars we’ve been itching to build. The lines and proportions are the quintessential muscle car, so it is the perfect canvas to break new ground and highlight our in-house capabilities,” Ringbrothers co-owner Jim Ring said in a news release.

The car took 5,600 hours to build and rides on a new Roadster Shop chassis with coilover shocks and six-piston Baer Brakes. The front wheels were shifted 1.5 inches forward to accommodate the new setup and the front fenders shortened. A carbon fiber hood and single-piece billet aluminum grille surround and bumper guards are among the unique updates.

The interior is dressed in white leather upholstery and has modern electronics disguised with throwback style. A pistol-grip shifter and Ringbrothers carbon fiber steering wheel round out the major touch points.

“Infected was shaped by the theatrics and joyful nature of classic Mopars, with the added benefit of modern performance,” added Ringbrothers co-owner Mike Ring. “This car is a celebration of vibrant color, design, detail and, of course, performance. This build provides an opportunity to showcase how cutting-edge building techniques up the ante and enhance classic American muscle.”
