Muscle Car Of The Week Video #68: 1971 Hemi 'Cuda
#musclecar #v8tv
www.musclecaroftheweek.dom - The 1971 Hemi 'Cuda evolved slightly in design from 1970 with the addition of the fender "gills" and the revised 4-light nose and grille, but the good news is that the mighty 425 horse power 426 cubic-inch hemispherical headed V8 remained unchanged in power ratings for 1971. This version is wearing Tor-Red, a bright color that is certainly not going to be missed when trying to evade the law during late-night street competitions of speed. One of the coolest aspects of this car is that it is a largely unrestored survivor, one of only 48 automatics produced. It calls the Brothers Collection home.

The Cudas and Challengers from that era are timeless. Simply gorgeous lines. Add a hemi with a shaker, and it's muscle car nirvana.
Very nice!...I had the identical car but with a 440 Six Pack...
@5:31 could see some overspray on the drivers real leaf, as well as earlier in the video on the passenger rear leaf. Probably a touch-up. Could also see the exhaust cut-outs on the rear valance (looks home-brewed) and maybe even a little rust down there. Nice car!!
WOW, what a car!!! I'm a born and raised GM guy but I sure have learned to love the Mopars! And Ford products too for that matter. I was 8 when this car was new and I remember all the cool old muscle cars from back then. The fit and finish wasn't great on the Mopars but they sure would would run! I remember the Mopar guys in high school always had issues with rust (Wisconsin) and I never quite got the attraction then but now I realize these are really cool cars! I own a few GM cars and recently bought a plum crazy '70 340 Challenger and I've never driven a car that gets more attention than that thing! Stunning car, great video as always! Keep em coming guys!
I grew up as a GM child myself but I can't deny my love for any and all things car related. Those 426 Hemi's are fast for those years. I've seen stock 426's with nothing more than minor bolt on parts like headers or an exhaust running high 11's and unless the description was lying, a 426 with factory everything power adder wise run 12.0's. Very impressive cars. When I was in high school, the fastest car there was a DSM. It had Chrysler blood in it. It was an all wheel drive, turbocharged 4 cylinder. I think it was a 1992 so a first generation with the 6 bolt block. It was my friend's car and he never ran a front bumper because of the large FMIC. It was big and a cut front bumper wouldn't have looked the best. I remember it made somewhere in the low 400's in power. I doubt it ever went past 425. If I remember correctly it ran in the 11's and 12's depending on the track. It never ran drag radials or full slicks. I think it trapped around 120-125 mph in the 1/4 mile. The transmissions weren't the best so shifting the car depended on the car's mood. It was such a bad ass looking ride. It was a black car with factory alloy wheels. It looked pretty normal besides not having a front bumper and then you see what looked like a tall and wide diesel pick up truck intercooler and it all made sense.
I'm a Mopar man myself but I've always felt like GM cars had the best build quality of the big three, but Mopar had the best high performance cars in those days. GM brass was pretty conservative when it came to the engines in their muscle cars( example: the 400 cubic inch limit for mid size cars that they had all the way up to 1970) compared to Dodge and Plymouth, who seemed to give their engineers much more freedom to kind of push their cars to the limit. Ford was pretty conservative too, like putting 735 cfm carbs on their 428 CJs and the Boss 429, when in all reality there should really be nothing smaller than a 780 on that size engine. And Fords exhaust systems were pretty restrictive on those cars too

1971 Hemi Cuda is my dream car!
I used to live in Concord California in the early 80's where this was first sold in 1970. I don't recall any car dealerships in Concord anymore, most of them are in Walnut Creek now.
I remember this very car from the pages of Hot Rod Magazine 35+ years ago wow!
My rich cousin had one about that time - was a big tough guy (looked like Dan Blocker- "Hoss Cartwright" from Bonanza). He was frightened of it's power - was 4spd 440 - 3 2bbl carbs. Got rid of it before he would get killed.
One or two words but just say 'Hemi Cuda every car guy gets very happy !
A 'proper' car in every sense!
Made 108 total
Restored or not, this car is still worth 6 figures
Anyone know where I can get the dog dish hubcaps?
Nice car. One thing I noticed was no exhaust outlets out of the rear. Was it ordered with factory cut off tips?
The 440 and 426 Cuda/Challengers sold in California had below-the-valence tail pipes to meet noise regulations
Reminds me of a "PIRHANA".bad to the bone
I want....
Where are the dual exhaust tips coming through the rear valance????????
Jerome Burrasca - from what I have read California cars were not allowed to have the exhaust tips coming out of the rear valance...not sure if it was a smog issue. Beautiful car either way!
Look's like Kevin shaved his head and eye brows????
I have vin plates for 1970 cuda convertible 340 if anybody needs them
was the rear wing a option to have one or not have one
Yes, the "Go Wing" was optional and many were added later.because they're so freaking cool. You've got to hand it to Mopar for going all out with styling. Pretty much in your face and over the top! This is coming from a GM guy...
Koch Brothers.
1 question, why do people start spending the tires around corners in stead of waiting till there straight, you loose control of so many cars doing that,,,, it bring out the inter hillbilly..... 1more thing im a chevy lover, but all these cars are so cool, I would love to own one instead of fixing them,,,,, thanks guys
Its called going sideways. Now its a sport called drifting. Do not try this at home!
hoo-rah tim It's just easier to get 'em spinning around a corner. The engine doesn't have to work as hard, and a good driver can control the car without coming close to losing it. For a lesser car, you have to spin around a corner to look cool, like slant six Valiant..... can a slant 6 spin em at all? eh- maybe not!
It's a lot easier to break the tires loose going around the corner. Does absolutely nothing for performance but it sure pleases the crowd!!!
They're doing it in the videos for effect and it's also what was common to see "back in the day"
How ABOUT INTERIOR, DASHBOARD !!!!
Great episodes but just a minor comment, the measurement of torque of an engine is the pound-foot (lb-ft) not foot-pounds which is the measurement of work or energy.
Mopar Power...
71 not a muscle car
