Joe Rogan's 750 hp "Sick Fish" Cuda | The Perfect '70 Cuda Rebuilt by Roadster Shop is SICK!!
HTML-код
- Опубликовано: 3 авг 2023
- This is our 2nd shoot with Roadster Shop and it just keeps getting better with these guys. Joe Rogan's Sick Fish Cuda has had a lot of years of not being a reliable driving vehicle but that has seriously changed since RS got their hands on it...the exterior was left as is because Rad Rides by Troy nailed it but all mechanical has been dealt with including a full RS chassis underneath, a brand new Avant Garde interior and that glorious Mercury Racing SB4 engine making 750 high revving naturally aspirated horsepower! This is one of the finest builds I've ever seen, ridden in and driven so sit back and enjoy the ride...

What I like about this episode is how many big names/companies were acknowledge & given credit. I feel like I rarely see that within the modified world in USA
I agree, coming from Ireland where someone will see a car on RUclips and know who painted the rims separate to the engine bay, who was fabricating for the car etc. It really is a shame because of all the gems hidden around the states that need a guy who knows a guy
UK has a close knit restoration community, there's a hive of great skills and minds in places like Coventry and Oxfordshire, and a lot of other places out of the way. They generally support and recommend each others work, but the down side of this is a closed shop, new guys have a hard time getting into the 'magic circle'!.
Acknowledged everyone except Chip Foose which was surprising.
I could be wrong but I think they did mention Chip Foose in this clip@@brandonbrenchley4399
@@HaroldLightingdale A lot of guys here in the US don't want customers telling people who did their shit, or at least not being loud about it. Because they're typically backed up for years on end with other commitments they know they might never get to around to anyways. People hear about a project a specific shop/person did and all the sudden everyone with more money than brains wants some insane project done on their car from them specifically.
When I was younger, I wanted to be a Playboy photographer. Now I want to be a part of the Roadster Shop team. Absolutely stunning. Thanks to Troy as well. Hey Joe...
The fact that Joe had this car redone means he actually drove it enough to not be happy with it, and thats refreshing.
he even got a child seat upgrade for the car so he can see over the wheel
@@absinth9288😂😂😂
Saying he's not happy with it is too strong a statement. Nothing wrong with making some upgrades to improve an already great car.
He also sold it after it was initially build and bought it back years later.
@@mrglass6919 I was wondering about that, was sure I had heard he sold it. good info.
Sport-Evolution of Trepanier's legendary 'Cuda.
I'm from Switzerland (.... 52 years old).
I have no trouble remembering this incredible car back from those days about 20 years ago.
This 'Cuda captivated me back then.
.... remembering at the scene where the SICK FISH backed off the truck and Rogan just said "NASTY"!
😂😂😂💪💪💪
For many years I tried to follow the path of this awesome AMERICAN MUSCLE.
I have never forgotten this car!
How could I???
It was always in my heart.
I'm pleased that the car still exists and I can continue to admire it.
many thanks to all fine craftsmen and professionals.... thank you all for save this beauty.
I salut you!
My best regards
from Switzerland

That high rpm V8 soundtrack is a beautiful sound. There is nothing better!
The Roadster Shop is hitting these car builds into stratospheric levels 👊🏻
Massive thanks to Shawn for bringing these videos to us and to the Roadster Shop for letting him into there world.
Agreed mate here here!
31:06 🤣 oh man, right when the old home owner is cussing, it RIPS by! 🚙💨
This guy is absolutely amazing. Confident yet humble, respectful, and just overwhelmingly positive and optimistic. What a car!
Totally agree
So knowledgeable
THE GAP ON THE HOOD THOUGH!!!! YUCK (FRONT DRIVER SIDE) WTF, HEELLL NAWWWW
I'm old because he's a kid to me but kids don't have these skills.
@@stella24oz I saw that too and was like WTF.
I remember that Joe didn't want the signature Foose two tone paint on this. Good choice, timeless design.
I was under the impression this was a Foose car, but its been a really long time since I saw the build on TV and don't remember all the details. I do remember Joe not wanting two tone.
Back in the early 2000’s Foose was seemingly doing two-tone on everything he designed then. Was never a fan of that as IMHO it would end up being a time stamp……aka tying the car to a period of time. When Joe saw the car in bare steel that’s what convinced him to go with Silver and he was right to do so even though others disagreed with his choice. Single tone in simple colors never goes out of style.
Two tone Chip style always looked terrible on muscle cars! Solid one color is best and or original factory type stripes! Simple
its the other way around. Foose wanted the clean look... look it up!!
@@Apachefog same! I remember watching it showcased on Rides and thought Foose was behind it, if Troy was there I was too young and/or stupid to realize!
Nice to see the support for Troy and giving him the respect he deserves. 🤙🏼🤙🏼🤙🏼
I watch a lot of restoration and restomodding content and this is the top of the pile. No gimmicks, just a beautiful old body on new and high quality parts and a frame built how it should have been from the beginning. Amazing work both 20 years ago and updating it.
By far my favourite build shown on this show. Great colour , stance and that sound of a V8 revving above 8000 rpm changing with a stick shift is absolutely awesome. Might of even got a little tear in the eye from the sheer joy. LOL
After seeing the superformance episode of that sick cobra….. this engine reminds me of that voodoo engine from the gt350.
I hear ya 😎🇺🇸✌🏽
I get it…this is my favorite video we’ve ever done and that’s saying something. Stunning car!
Yeah, I love the Mercury Crate engines, my dream is to drop their 9 liter big block QC4V engine into a 71 GTX, but I'd destroke it down to 7.0 liters to get the rpms up over 8500, with the absolute dream of hitting 9000....could you imagine the sound of a 7 liter V8 hitting 9000rpm?
Absolutely gorgeous huh!
Troy was light years ahead of other builders at the time with this build. You’d swear this was a 2023 build, it ties in so well with what’s being built now. Great job by RS for the up grades they have preformed on this master piece 👌
A little Googling confirmed what my memory was telling me from watching the episode of "Rides" so many year ago and this car was Designed by Chip Foose and then Built by Troy. I wonder why they didn't mention Chip's name at all in this video. I wonder if there's some controversy in this story.
@@seanjohnfits odd Chip didn’t get a mention 🤷♂️
@@seanjohnfits a few years ago there was a big thing about Chip and Troy building a car for Joe, and it sucked to drive, according to Joe. He was joking around when he said it, but there was some truth to it. Chip and Troy don't design/build daily drivers, they build show cars you can drive. Roadster shop builds things to be more drivable, and to show car levels of fit, finish, etc. Not many people are going to daily drive a car with a $40k paint job.
I am not taking away from any of them, they are far beyond my skill level in building cars, and I learn a lot from watching them work. Also get some cool ideas from their builds. I build daily drivers, dirt cheap compared to these guys, I spend less than $2k painting one of mine and I don't mind chips and scratches in them, they are built to drive every day. Its a completely different mindset with those big shops, and seeing their paint work alone in person makes me feel like a monkey throwing poo at vehicles. Of course I build things for me, not for customers.
They have their own thing they do, usually show cars and drivability isn't high on the list... and technology advances after the build is done.
Chip fuse design the car troy built it
You obviously know little about rad rides. You’ll find rock chips in a number of Troy’s builds.
Joe didn’t have the wealth he has today. This build was way over budget and Joe was a diva during the entire build.
This must be the craziest episode they ever shot. Lol. Old man was like, "I see strangers standing by a public road in front of my driveway, let me shoot them". 😂🤣🤣🤣
Lol! That guy was a bit crazy!!
very crazy!
I play golf at the club across the street- there is NOTHING better than listening to them testing their cars- absolutely awesome. 🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸
That interior is absolutely perfect… sleek, stylish, but also sinister. Such a perfect overhaul! They updated everything that needed it and left the rest the way it was done. If you didn’t know the history of it, you’d think the entire car was just built
THE GAP ON THE HOOD THOUGH!!!! YUCK (FRONT DRIVER SIDE) WTF, HEELLL NAWWWW
Not a fan of that huge tunnel in the middle of the car and the fact they did all that work and could have put a turbo new gen hemi but went for a ls. Always liked the style of the outside of the car.
@@bahamayellow1960they put an LS in a Cuda? Wtf. That's blasphemy.
YESSS!!!
I was hoping you’d feature this car. Roadster Shop once again absolutely killed it on the rebuild of this car.
They perfected perfection which is wild to me
@AutotopiaLA say it louder for those in the back...God danng..thought the grand national was theeeeee best.....then hear comes the sick fish Cuda 🤯🤯😳I was like what . ....!^&$*@!% the level of craftsmanship is I can't seem to put or find the adjectives man 😂....nice I luv it...u got a new subscriber for sure......BTW what sunglasses(model brand) are u wearing....? If u don't mind ......now u have me going thru the video catalog on these insane custom jobs man 😂😂
This 'show' channel.. whatever this is... is modern day magazine 'feature' ... I'm sad magazines are dying.. but this channel is THE blueprint in to which the future should be.... the day of hot rod shows on likes of discovery etc being on telly what is 20 minutes of what we want to see stretched out with B.S to an hour is gone/going!! THIS is the blueprint of what everyone wants to see... the story..the history.. the build.. the drive! ❤
Keep it up.. 🎉
Wow. What a way to rehab and update this car. Leaving the body untouched was the right call and testament to the timeless styling.
That's one classy Cuda, & the fact that they put in that many 'shake down' miles is just one of the reasons Roadster Shop is on another level!
That’s not a cuda now doesn’t even have a hemi anymore!
@@dnlescalante73initially I felt the same way, but you have to give credit where it's due🙂
As a 20 year old back in 2004 watching the Rides episode of this car while going to Auto Body school was inspiring. Watching this in 2023 as a 39 year old Bodyman is even more inspiring. Troy will always be the GOAT. Had the pleasure of seeing many of his cars at the World of Wheels shows here in Milwaukee. The work these guys did on this build is truly a new standard in the industry. Outstanding work.
How they completely rebuilt this car yet left the body as is blew me away! Troy and his crew are true masters of the craft
@AutotopiaLA Exact same thoughts. Moving the transmission to the rear and using a torque tube was a great idea. Not just for extra leg room, but also for weight distribution. Wonder how close to 50/50 they were able to get it? No doubt it dramatically transformed the handling and predictably of the car.
@@AutotopiaLAWhy no mention of Chip Foose? Didn't he actually designed this?
When you got Joe Rogan money.
His podcast is ....ok?!!......
Rogan money is F U MONEY
I reckon there's at least $ 1.2m and I appreciate the hobby getting stimulus. Not to be a Debbie downer but 120k would buy you a turnkey 70 cuda funny car with a 426, supercharger, 1200hp, and trailer included. He said the modern hemis wouldn't fit so he had to go with a ls7. Calling bs on that. Remove the supercharger, add twin turbos and it would've cleared the hood. He immediately heads off to build a tt grand national. Grrrrr.
yup wild with that boat motor in it.
@@minibikemadmanthat’s funny I thought it was a boat motor 😮
Bad freaking ass! Superbly built guys! Hope Joe keeps it this time as it’s more referred as Joe Rogans Cuda than sick fish.
Long Life to sick fish...remember when by Troy..Sick Fish never die. Wonderful ...😁👍🇺🇲🇺🇲🖤
'Sick Fish' is such a perfect name for this car.
such a boomer name
No its a ignorant moronic name.
@stevebanning902 really what would your generation call it as i guess your not a boomer and must be younger. im considered a boomer and i dont even like the name.
The name it was given by the manufacturer? with the word "Custom" in front of it? @@grindfreakmike5754
I remember when this car was built and taking cold showers for a week afterwards. One of my all time favorites and exactly how I would do a Cuda. Rename to slick fish !
For a car to be naturally aspirated and making 750hp that pretty impressive
MAN...this is EXACTLY how i LOVE the muscle car builds to be...SUUUUPER modern and beautiful and simple...OMG...😍😍😍😍
@Text-Official_AutotopiaLa-now looser indian...🤣🤣 you Indians are such a disgusting always dirty nation...funny you think you are smart 😂😂😂
Timeless! Troy did a killer job back then, now it is updated tastefully.
I remember listening to a podcast where Joe talked about this car and how bad it was to drive (including the front suspension failing and him almost crashing the car). Great to see it being rebuilt properly and back to Joe's ownership.
Cause he can’t fucking drive
Not to knock Joe but I will say this. At the time of delivery the car had to meet the tv show deadline and didn't get the shakedown it probably needed. I personally know Troy always built cars that could be driven without issue.
The other thing to consider is , after delivery, how was the car driven? Enthusiastically or pounded like a rented mule? One person's expectation of how a car can be treated might be different from how it was requested to be built.
@@tsaints1115 Very fair points. I know Troy is a top builder and has produced some legendary hot rods. I also don't know about Joe's driving habits, but he seemed very disappointed how the vehicle operated. He always praised the looks though and rightfully so.
Even though I’m 45 I’ve never been big on classic cars, baisically because of performance limits, that’s why I love these restomods, awesome classic looks with modern performance, best of both worlds.
Initially I almost skipped this video wasn't a big fan of the way the car looked I am so glad I did not once you've heard this car you immediately fall in love Excellent video!
That thing is signing! I love it. Roadster shop did a fantastic job updating a classic build.
This is the most extraordinary sound I’ve ever heard from any V8. Seriously, ANY V8. The sound is actually beautiful. Wow. 😎😎😎
I'm a Mustang man but igotta give that Cuda sum serious Props!!! man it is one Baddass!!! Musclecar!!!
Hell, even I'm stoked for Joe and I've never met him. Nice work fellas!!! That is one BADASS Cuda.
That new interior is amazing. I was never a big fan of the fat backside in the original version, but the updated wheels just made it look 10x better
omg i thought this was just built.. wtf 20 years old. IM IN SHOCK. truly timeless
Joe doesn't live all that far away from me... I'd drool if I ever saw him cruising with this beauty!!!
In 2004, this car was way more famous than Joe Rogan 😅
I know him from tv show radio news airing cca 96...
But yeah car was famous cca 2000 when it was aired on a discovery tv car show
Sick fish has always been one of my favorite cudas ever 😊
Illinois Boi here !!! This was my favorite car ever 20 years ago. I live in Tx now and love the fact the boys back home revamped this. This car is on the epic level forever, forever ever! I wish I still went to SEMA every year love to see their other work.
Well Joe knows what he wants and likes and let's face it the man has earned everything he has... nothing has been handed to him.i remember Joe from going to greatwoods in Massachusetts he was a security/ ticket taker he would not remember me from a hole in the wall but that's ok....I am glad I got to see him then and see him now. He's a class act.and I can guarantee he has not forgotten where he came from.great work these guy did I have done some cars but nothing like that factory resto stuff....👌👍✌️
Noooooo you didn’t Shawn ! This is one of my favs .. Used a lot of ideas on my car from this …it’s amazing. Fun fact when i worked for BDS superchargers we did the fuel injection for the 528 as this was an engine used in a project truck for Hot Rod Magazine ..
Really cool you were part of the original build. Gotta say, this thing is now a perfect driving car and still looks as good as it ever did
Great vlog Shawn!! This car is NO JOKE. I remember seeing it years ago after being built. RS is no joke either!! Not a bad way to drop $1m + on an amazing piece of art!
This is the "Total package" for me. It is immortal in it's beauty & function...
Iconic is a saying we may throw around to often. This car was dope back in 2004 and Wowzers, Roadster shop made it even more iconic.
When car guys l, who are able to drive almost anything out there in the wild and there impressed. You know how special of a car and moment you are a part of ❤
What a great piece of car culture.
The RS guys did an incredible job with this gem
I remember watching this being built, Troy did a great job.
Wasn't Chip Foose part of this project? How was his name not mentioned at all in this video?
Chip just drew a concept of it. He didn't build it.
We all wish our cars handled like that. Think Joe will be happy. Nice episode.
This shop is the bomb...😎
You can not NOT fall in love in this kind of build. It's stand above most of the cars builders. I think they made the cars above cars industry standards.
32:04
Sweet ride! I really like how updated it is and still keeping the original design, Big props to the fabricators. Sounds awesome! Incredible build and choice on wheels.
One of my favorite cars
Been witness to twin 1500hp Mercury engine's on song it's such a sweet sound that just love's to rev
Truly American craftsmanship! Great Job! Wish I had Joe Rogan 💰💰💰 lol
Love the way he explained the change’s without stepping on Troys existing work! Class act, much respect to you both
Gotta say SickFish 2.0 is 1000 times better than the original just amazing all the details and overall look is killer. Sick car JOE
Everything about this car is just absolutely beautiful. Knock it out the park for sure.
Bought the Rides DVD back in the day just for this car featured on it! Love seeing SickFish back in 2023
Man I've watched 3 vids of your guys builds the Grand National that is now my personal dream car in roadster shop guise, the 70 Camaro which has been my dream car since before I was a gear head and this 'cuda which is the Herculean Holy Grail in all things that roll and drink Dino juice. Based on these builds you're hands down the best shop anywhere. Granted I haven't seen all the shops but the bar is set beyond high. And one more thing THANK YOU for not committing the most disrespectful and deadliest sin in the automobile industry in my book and anyone that is a true gear head, grease monkey, wrench rebel, good ole boy or car nut will agree. THANK YOU for not building trailer queens. There's nothing worse than building a work of vehicular art and seeing it being pulled behind a truck, unless there's something that broke or it's getting delivered to a customer. Cars and especially muscle cars but not limited to those great cars are meant to be driven. I've heard I don't want to hurt it or I want it to stay running right, if you don't drive them they break down faster and more catastrophic when you let them sit. So again thank you for not committing the biggest sin in the kingdom of cars. The second biggest sin is babying it or putting around not ever getting above 50mph or 3k rpm. Thank you for driving them and driving them as a car of that quality of build should be. The Grand National is still my favorite and will be for a long time if not for ever so thank you for being true car guys and giving me a new dream car. And even doing what you've done and what you've accomplished it seems like you're just good down to earth guys who would be a blast to hang out with.🤯👍🏆😁 keep wrenching and making these masterpieces of motion
Sweet ride. Its like 1% of the original car but still the best Cuda build I've ever seen
What an awesome build! Im a little hurt inside that its not true to the mopar heritage, but that motor is perfect for the build! Not a single thing that i would change about it! Super rad rebuild here!!!
What a killer car! Do an episode when the owners take delivery
Ok THIS one is my favorite now! Just wow! Perfect
HOLY MOTHER OF GOD, what a beautiful ride. So glad it's back and BETTER!
Insane how flawless this car is in looks and drivability!!
My native Texan Joe Rogan knows how to roll
The epitome of a pro touring build!
Impossible not to smile ear to ear. Much respect.
Roadster shop has absolutely taking over the car builds. I don’t think they get the credit deserved
Such a classic build I love how RS enhanced what Troy built!!
The channel goes from strength to strength. 🇬🇧🇬🇧
Keep it up Shaun, muscle cars like these are a rare sight In Europe , and much as I love a supercar , It was muscle cars that did it for me as a kid.
The good old “brakes” joke is never going to go away 😂
The real star of this video is not the beautiful car, the work done or the sound of that rogan mobile, it's the respect, admiration and recognition of another master of the game. While other arts will talk down another, this was a master class in respect and acknowledgement. Inspiring.
So simple and clean build, nothing that pops at your face. Just simple beautiful details like the interior door handles.😍
This is an AWESOME channel guys. Keep up the good work! I’m always anticipating every video. That property owner needs to chill out a bit much 🤣😂🤣
Super clean!! The 70's Cuda has such great lines and they improved them here.
Saint Joesph deserves beautiful things. Great video, thank you for creating great content.
Thanks for watching and he’s definitely earned what he’s got and has been for decades. Good for Joe!
The new wheels look really good👌🏽
Wow what a clean build! Just when I think I’ve seen the car of my dreams on this channel you guys come out with another Banger!
I didn’t even notice the roll bar till y’all pointed it out. I can only imagine what it must feel like to drive this machine.
wow good to see sick fish again, i rememered when it got build. And they had a 3 color combo choosen for that car. but during the build joe rogan came to check it out, and the car was just in sheetmetal. he say he wanted it like that. just 1 color and clear coat. never regret that choice ever since. very sick hemicuda aka Sick Fish!
I remember watching the original build and reveal....Have pulled up pictures and loved this car for decades.
Ingenious rebuild. Top notch work.
Amazing work by RS and Jeremy is legendary top of the game for design interiors.
my favorite year for the ' cuda . glad he left the factory lines alone , simple yet beautiful .
When the builder got behind the wheel the whole video had a change of pace. Hell ya
One of my all time favorite builds and wondered if Joe still had this car.
Remember him naming the car after feeling ill after eating sushi.
New name should be sicker fish.
He actually got rid of the car Reggie Bush owned it for a while he must have bought it back.
How much thought went into this interior really shows
Love the fact they kept the gauge clusters analog and integrated most of the screens to really keep the timeless look, only change I would’ve liked to see is a manual hand break to allow a little more fun. But the manual shifter is definitely awesome
Gotta love the kindness and grace of the average American property owner these days.
Not always does an acquired taste meet with deep pockets. This has class.
That fly won’t leave that man alone tho! 😂
What a masterpiece, so impressed by attention too detail, choices on interior are spot on. Love that it goes to JR, he will truly enjoy this one 👊
THE GAP ON THE HOOD THOUGH!!!! YUCK (FRONT DRIVER SIDE) WTF, HEELLL NAWWWW
You had me there until you said you pulled a hemi out of a Cuda. What?! The hemi is a must if you're a Mopar guy. I'm shedding a tear now haha
Thank you very much RS for sharing Jose Cuda with us. Clean well-organized a beautiful! Car
That shot with them making the left at the traffic light! I just about rolled out of my chair over how fucking beautiful that thing is. The wheel/tire proportion, lack of roll, the stupid Cuda/Challenger profile taken up five notches, just awe! That might be the most badass custom car I’ve seen as far as all around perfection. I’ve seen others I’d prefer as far as look, and heritage, like that Torino awhile back, yet this thing…..honestly it made me cry a little bit over its beauty. No bullshit I had to rewind that turn at the light like four times and wipe my eyes twice!! Yeah. I’m in deep, baby. Deeep.
One of the cleanest, absolutely sick looking cars I've ever seen. What a masterpiece.
Same for me
It’s literally perfect ‼️
This thing is literally a work of art
The exterior on this car is a work of art, now it has the internals to match. No matter how how rich you are owning something like that is still a privilege.
I've been hoping you would find the SICK FISH 🐟 I'VE ALWAYS LOVED THE BUILD AND NOW. HOLLY SHIT BRO. JOE IS GOING TO BE SO HAPPY. Thanks for the video. 😊
When I hit the lottery, I'm going to these guys for my dream car build. This car and the Grand National are just freaking SEEET!
