It's definitely not coach class.

A one-of-a-kind Plymouth muscle car has been unearthed after being hidden away for 47 years.

The "Rapid Transit System" 1970 Plymouth 'Cuda was one of four custom cars built for a Caravan of Speed promotional tour.

Plymouth commissioned Hot Wheels designer Harry Bradley to pen special versions of several of its models to highlight the brand’s performance image and sent them around the country to car shows and events.

The others have shown up in collections and at car auctions in the years since, but until this month the ‘Cuda hadn’t been seen since 1976.

YouTube channel Auto Archaeology documented the uncovering of the car, which had been stored in a garage all those years.

Its current owner, who remains anonymous, purchased it and drove it for a few weeks before putting it away in storage. The coupe remains all-original, including the 440 cubic-inch six-barrel V8 engine, and has just 967 miles on its odometer.

Mecum hasn't offered an estimate on its value, but if the other Rapid Transit System cars are anything to go by, it will be well into the six-figure range.
