Gourgous Car !! Back 70 - 74, From Factory You Got A 90 Day Warranty For Hemi & 3 Year Warranty For 440 - 6 Pack, Which We Know Were Just As Fast, I Had 70 Challenger With 440 - 6 !!!! Stay Strong.....Peace
A true icon. One of the greatest cars ever produced. Dodge all you would have to do is replicate them. They would make so much money if they just rebuilt the old car's
Not sure about the production Numbers for that car. I contacted Galen Govier about a 1971 HEMI Cuda covt that I saw in 1973 just South of where I lived which was parked by a Coffee shop the odd summer night . It was light yellow with a white billboard HEMI , White inside with a white top but a black carpet and dash plus the console where the Automatic shifter was. The top was down and I saw the mechanical tach on the steering column just south of the speedo for a manual shifting at the accurate RPM. i was told that all the Cuda Converts with HEMI's were recorded and there was no car like that produced in 1971. But this was Canada and the HEMI cuda's were built at the Windsor Plant while the HEMI Roadrunners all came for either the Lynch Rd Detroit or the Plant in St.Louis. In 1973 , it was not popular to make a CUDA as a HEMI clone . Plus, why put a White Billboard on the Sunfire Yellow cuda where I didn't even notice it until a friend saw the shaker scoop and ask me to pull the car over to look at it. Was this car from Windsor because the VIN should have the 1st -B (Cuda ), Price code letter, 3+4 body Convt #27 , 5th -R( hemi) , 6th -year 1970 as *0* , 7th -Plant R (windsor) . The Plants for 1971 should be A G (USA) , R Windsor .
I didn't know they went with hydraulics in 70. A buddy had 68 Belvedere hemi. he knew how to adjust the lifters, It looked like his Pappy's and he took off the Hemi Logo. Rich hid put 10 Large into his SS 427. The $2,500 Pappy blew his doors off.
Please get this clear. It's already been proven that the Stock 426 Hemi engine has 490 HP not 425 HP. The 425 number was put out there by the people marketing the car because buyers were having their insurance rates jacked up. So by lowering the Horse power rating, buyers could avoid the insurance trap. Stock 425 Hemi have been dyno tested and shown repeatedly to come in at about 500 horse power, that's right out of the factory. If you decide to modify the Hemi, the sky's the limit which is why is such an unbelievable engine.
The Bros bought this car in April 2016 at Mecum Auction's Kissimmee, Fl. for $2.9 Million including auction fees. Having cruised around in a few of these (my brother has a '71 ) they aren't really the best cars out there, the convertible chassis twists and paint cracks from stress , but if you have $3 Million you obliviously didn't have to work for, then this is the car for you.
Only 11 total were built in 1971. 7 for the US and 4 international. Only 2 were built with the 4 speed Hurst shifter. People you're seeing a car worth 3 to 4 million American dollars. Yeah that's right 3,000,000 to 4,000,000. Just look to your RIGHT at the auction in Seattle 2014. "MECUM SOLD $3.5 Million..." ---------->
$2,675,000. Pretty sure it's the car listed here as it matches the description and is an export car (he said it was sold to Canada) www.foxsports.com/motor/story/two-plymouth-hemi-cudas-sell-2-million-mecum-auctions-kissimee-florida-012716
The one at 0:59? No, that's not the last one. The last one was a 1971 export model, also white. That car is in the Brothers Collection, though. I saw it at MCACN last November. I don't think MCOTW has done a video of it, though
+RTLL can you not read or are you just colour blind?? is that red one white?? THINK ABOUT IT M8 in the link i was talking about the link click on it then you see ok m8 and how do i no this i might be 14 and dont live america but i read books have a nice day

Would love to see the cuda come back

Lemon Twist is the Nicest Colur for the Convertible🥰👍👍🍋
absolutely awesome car love it !
Love it, and the color!
The Holy Grail👍❤️😎
thats the best one yet
Yet another car I'd kill for
Good Lord, what a awesome Mopar. Think i just drooled.
Great ride. Love the colored steel wheel with dog dish hubcap.
Thanks for sharing, that was fantastic, question, top 5 rarest
Muscle Car's? Or did you mention that already?
I sure hope they have a good sprinkler system in that warehouse garage storage facilities.
Oh my god, I couldn't imagine every single one of those cars getting burnt up in a damn fire!!
A true icon. One of the greatest cars ever produced.

They don't meet any federal safety regulations. They would have to be brought up to code & that would completely negate any reason to do it.
Lovely car!😄😁🔧🤟
I grew up in Vancouver B.C. Never saw it. How come my dad never bought me a car? Oh well.

I don't mind the yellow, but I'm not sure I'd have the matching wheels.
Anyone knows anything about the other 4 Hemi 'Cuda Convertible 4-speed cars made in 1970? I would like to know what colors and options these came in.
Nice piece. Where is that Covair Spyder? Need something a bit more oddball.
WOW.....

Wow, that color is bright and cheesey lol.
The Shaker was standard on HEMI 'Cuda's.
The cuda and the challenger with a 440 six pack 4 speed were great cars but insurance cost and gas prices are why not many were built and sold
I can see a father getting his daughter a yellow Cuda convertible but why did he think she needed a 426 hemi? LOL

shaker hood was standard on hemi cuda optional on hemi challenger
Get ride of the wheels and get the premium ralley ones they offered
Damn. (Sorry can't think of anything else to say)

Cool, nice find on the article. That's big $'s. I'm sure it will only appreciate though,
+azreal082 im pretty sure that the white cuda is the last hemi convertible made

The Hemi, what MYTHS are made of. Not the baddest on the street especially in 1970 with the Chevy LS6 454 kicking the Hemi's ass all over town.
yeah right .................................
