Top Dog, King Of The Mountain, Apex Predator!!! This is THE muscle car of all muscle cars, nothing beats a Hemi 'Cuda!!! The ride was epic!!! Watching the shaker hood "quiver" was truly special and the fact that the owner took us all on a ride like that, well, it just doesn't get any better than that Lou!!! That was AWESOME!!!!

A new Scat Pak challenger with the 485 hp Hemi & 6 spd manual trans is no slouch and quite lovely..but ik what you mean. these E bodies were more svelte..to the tune of about 500-600 lbs lighter. The muscle era Chrysler Corp designers were fine eyed artists, indeed
Another exceptional vehicle. Ralph really keeps that Cuda in immaculate condition. Even the clock was working, which usually was one of the first things that went on the dashboard! Great segment, Lou. When Ralph gave that Cuda the gas it made all your viewers smile. Thanks for the continued great videos.
Hi Kevin, Happy to read "When Ralph gave that Cuda the gas it made all your viewers smile." :-) Wonderful! Thanks for the kind words, and you're welcome, Lou
Looks like I'm a little late to this video, but with a hemi & a 4 spd, I doubt Ralph is late for anything when he takes this beauty! This '70 Cuda looks flawless and w/the red shaker, it's truly a rare treat. Thanks, Lou!
Totally breathless... A '70 Hemi 'Cuda is just my favourite Plymouth of all! And with Rallye Red Paint! I like the original ads - magazines, marketing poster and mainly that fantastic jacket. Stunning! Really great My Car Story episode, Lou.
Hi Plymouth Die-Cast Replicas, Happy to read "Totally breathless... A '70 Hemi 'Cuda is just my favourite Plymouth of all! " :-) Glad this one is a Winner for you, Lou
Ralph can't drive 25 - & I don't blame him one bit! With each shift, your grin gets a li'l bigger, that's an experience no econobox or electric car will ever give you. Thanks Ralph & Lou!
What an absolutely beautiful & pristine example of American & MOPAR muscle car. It does indeed check all the boxes. Thanks Lou & Ralph for a great Saturday morning treat. Btw, love the 2nd & 3rd gear scratch at the beginning!
He looks like a much younger version of Warren Buffett driving the supreme ultimate Chrysler Plymouth high performance car of the muscle car era. This '71 Cuda is just awesomely beautiful powerful and so rare. Bad ass. Only once in my life have I been up close to a '71 Cuda. When the owner fired the engine up it blew the moisture exhaust onto my white pants and stained them. I was standing right behind the dual exhaust and considered it a "badge of honor" and a great privilege to have my pants stained by a '71 HEMI Cuda. Love the classic muscle cars.❤❤👍👍😉😁😃

And there's just one word to say when you see this one tearing up the street--GANGWAAAAAAAY!!!!! LOL! Thanks a million to you and Ralph for taking us all along on the Rapid Transit Express!

You looked alittle nervous when you were starting out for your drive Lou, of course it’s hard being a passenger in any car but a Hemi Cuda ?? Obviously you survived and Ralph knows how to stroke those gears from the sounds of that 3rd gear chirp.. sweet music… Another awesome car and a definite bucket list ride in anyone’s book !
Best race I ever had back in the day... my 1968 yenko camaro against a 1970 Dodge challinger 426 hemi.. on a satirday night about 11 pm we went out on the freeway... both cars were heavily modified fro street racing.. starting from a rolling start we raced up to almost 130 MPH... The 427 yenko camaro won by 5 car lenghts.. the closest any car came to beartng me...
That was the greatest surprise ride ever! The sound of that engine and the shifting of the gears was so sweet! Thanks Lou for that great video 💯 percent amazing! we
As usual thanks for posting another excellent video, Lou! Love those Plymouth and Dodge Hemi cars and the '70 Hemi 'Cuda with the Hurst Pistol Grip Shifter in your video surely is a knock out!
In my ill spent youth the cars that were unbeatable street racing were King Kong ( 69 Camaro Copo 427) and the guy who had the hemi cuda. Don't even try, you will be seeing taillights.
Sweeeet!! My Dad got a 69' Plymouth Roadrunner as a graduation present from High School. I heard it was a Beast and he used to smoke damn near everyone that he raced. I so wish he still had it.

Lou that was a awesome video. I so loved the ride along and watching that hood scoop twist when he shifted. Did my heart good to see and hear that fun. Loved the color and the restoration was just awesome. My Lord he sure has a real treasure there. Just so sporty looking and fast and fun! What a great owner too he was awesome too. Thanks for sharing Lou this was a lot of fun!!
This car was "monochrome" waaaay before monochrome was a thing in the late 80's & early 90's! The red SHAKER is so much better looking than the argent one. Might be time to buy & build a 1/25 scale replica of this one!

I love that unique Hemi sound, and this one definately talks. What a beautiful, clean example here. She's all business and in a great color. I also learned something new today watching this video. I didn't know about the color matched shaker scoops on the early production cars. Very interesting. Thankk you for sharing Lou. Take care.

Another one of my dream cars I was born in 1958 so as a boy I saw 55 chey’s and such my Uncle carried me my brother and cousin to the Fairgrounds Speedway in Nashville we were friends with the Marlin family and I remember seeing a 70 Hemi Cida I had now idea I was admiring the car with a future two time Daytona 500 winner !
Well, my dad had a 77 Plymouth Volare' green wagon with the slant 6 that would one wheel peel down the gravel alley or on wet pavement if it was slightly uphill or turning right!!

@@loucostabile It's true though... he wasn't into cars but I was swapping the headlights and changing oil and thawing out the motor with a blanket and drop light and learning to drive it starting at 10yrs old. Later, I had the FireBird and my friend had the 70 Challenger and another friend had the Sublime Cuda in my 2 1996 VHS vids man! We all had many cars, 69 Charger RT/SE, 68 RoadRunner, MAch 1 Mustang, 440 Coronet, 71 chevelle roller cam big bock ET racer, I had 5 FireBirds, a few Monte Carlos and a Dodge Demon... those were the days!
Nice video of an iconic Plymouth! This is the reason the current Charger is abysmal. Since Plymouth is no longer, I sort of get it, that Chrysler didn't want same style car as challenger, but still, no muscle car should have 4 doors. (Even with a hemi) Well done Ralph!
Ahh, but those were really sweet cars, too! The straight 6 Hemi was a lil monster :) Chrysler should revisit that engine design..there is rumors of a straight 6, around 3L with & without turbo & power ranging from like 300-450hp or thereabouts.
This is a nice, nice Cuda! I like the body 'shaker'..looks much better than the Argent color that you see..and it's a freaking Hemi no less. He's a lucky man Lou..Thnx again for a great find!
Goodday Lou, As soon as this pop up I needed my Hemi Cuda Fix. The Holy Grail, to be blessed to be in the presence of the Holy Grail & to go for a trashing. You are one lucky guy, I am so happy for you to get such an opportunity. Ralph is such a good sport to take you for a spin, it felt like I was there with you. 1970 Hemi Cuda, 4 speed, 4:10 arse end, Rallye Pack Gauge, centre console, dual mirrors, all the jewellery on the outside, woodgrain steering wheel, Pistol Grip Shifter. Say no more, love the car. Lou can I ask a favour, that Tom Hoover Hemi Tribute Sticker any chance you can grab 2 of them for me please, I would love to put them on my Hardtop as a tribute to the Godfather of the Hemi. I run a Hemi but a 6 cylinder Hemi. It would be greatly appreciated. Great video thoroughly thoroughly enjoyed it. Your number 1 Fan in Australia Louis Kats from Melbourne Australia ☺ 👍 ❤
Goodday Louis, Happy to get that "Hemi Fix" for you taken care of for today :-) Not sure I know where to get one of those stickers? I'll keep an eye out. Glad to read you thoroughly enjoy this video. Thank you for being my # 1 Fan in Australia, Lou
I agree with Rodger R, below! This made my day, too! It’s grey and rainy, here in SW Ontario, but I’m so inspired, I’m gonna go chirp the tires on my RAV4! (By trying to lock up the brakes)
Love the Cuda’s. These guys restore these bad boys with all the good stuff but for some reason of all these Cuda mods I have seen they never can seem to put a little grease on the door hinges. 😂
I found this online: One example with the Hemi engine and a stick shift is currently selling for a shade under half a million dollars on classiccars.com. The ultra-rare combination of Hemi powered convertible with a manual transmission sends the value of those examples into outer space. One of these 1971 Hemi Cuda convertibles smashed records in 2014 when it sold for a scarcely believable 3.5 million dollars.
Killer car mate looks and sounds great I’m not a fan of colour coated bumpers, the chrome just helps to break it up a bit,but hey a hemi cuda you can’t go wrong👍
Yep bucket list car. Make mine with power steering though. I have driven E bodies with 383s and 440s with manual steering, and they are not fun to parallel park. lol I imagine a Hemi car would be worse!

Urethane bumpers were used on the GTO starting in 1968.
Chrysler called it the elastomeric bumper treatment..it was laid over the steel bumper, rather than the usual chrome, ofc.
@@markg7030 especially Pontiac & Mopar loved to snag ideas from each other,
through the 60's, ahaha.
1970 ... THE year of the pony car !!
Cuda, Challenger, Firebird, Camaro, Mustang, Cougar, Javelin.
What a wonderful time to be a car guy ...
You're right, a good time for cars :-) Good news! They're all right here in you RUclips Channel.

Another one of my dream cars I was born in 1958 so as a boy I saw 55 chey’s and such my Uncle carried me my brother and cousin to the Fairgrounds Speedway in Nashville we were friends with the Marlin family and I remember seeing a 70 Hemi Cida I had now idea I was admiring the car with a future two time Daytona 500 winner !
Hi Larry, Happy to read this is a "dream car" for you :-) Thanks for viewing and sharing, Lou
My all time favourite vehicle in history
Happy to read this is your "all time favourite vehicle in history" :-) WINNER!
Lou, HEMI Cuda! Enough said! AWESOME!! 🥳👍🏾😎🤟🏾🤴🏾
High praise Gmoney :-)
Well, my dad had a 77 Plymouth Volare' green wagon with the slant 6 that would one wheel peel down the gravel alley or on wet pavement if it was slightly uphill or turning right!!

@@loucostabile It's true though... he wasn't into cars but I was swapping the headlights and changing oil and thawing out the motor with a blanket and drop light and learning to drive it starting at 10yrs old. Later, I had the FireBird and my friend had the 70 Challenger and another friend had the Sublime Cuda in my 2 1996 VHS vids man! We all had many cars, 69 Charger RT/SE, 68 RoadRunner, MAch 1 Mustang, 440 Coronet, 71 chevelle roller cam big bock ET racer, I had 5 FireBirds, a few Monte Carlos and a Dodge Demon... those were the days!
Blessing For All !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Hi Jeff, Thank you! Lou
Nice video of an iconic Plymouth! This is the reason the current Charger is abysmal. Since Plymouth is no longer, I sort of get it, that Chrysler didn't want same style car as challenger, but still, no muscle car should have 4 doors. (Even with a hemi) Well done Ralph!
Hi Pat, Happy to share this "iconic Plymouth!" with you :-) Lou
Got none of this in Australia back in the day.
Closest thing would be an R/T E38 Charger with the Hemi 6 and triple dual throat Webber’s.
Hi Peter, My pleasure sharing this one with you. Cheers, Lou
Ahh, but those were really sweet cars, too! The straight 6 Hemi was a lil monster :)
Chrysler should revisit that engine design..there is rumors of a straight 6, around 3L with & without turbo & power ranging from like 300-450hp or thereabouts.
1970 Cuda/Challenger is the best body!!
High praise for this body design :-)
Not a 440, but the HEMI! Awesome review of a powerful muscle!
Hi LITTLE, High praise for this review :-) Lou
Awesome video Lou, one of my new favorites from you.
High praise :-)
Wonderful cuda, built for thrashen.
Just the way we like it :-)
Always love anything from Chrysler Corporation. I've had mostly B-bodies but always admired the e-body cars like this.
Hi Chris, Happy to read you "Always love anything from Chrysler Corporation" :-) Lou
This is a nice, nice Cuda! I like the body 'shaker'..looks much better than the Argent color that you see..and it's a freaking Hemi no less. He's a lucky man Lou..Thnx again for a great find!
Hi David, Happy to read you enjoy this "nice, nice Cuda!" :-) You're welcome, Lou
Absolutely beautiful!
High praise :-)
Goodday Lou,
As soon as this pop up I needed my Hemi Cuda Fix.
The Holy Grail, to be blessed to be in the presence of the Holy Grail & to go for a trashing.
You are one lucky guy, I am so happy for you to get such an opportunity.
Ralph is such a good sport to take you for a spin, it felt like I was there with you.
1970 Hemi Cuda, 4 speed, 4:10 arse end, Rallye Pack Gauge, centre console, dual mirrors, all the jewellery on the outside, woodgrain steering wheel, Pistol Grip Shifter.
Say no more, love the car.
Lou can I ask a favour, that
Tom Hoover Hemi Tribute Sticker any chance you can grab 2 of them for me please, I would love to put them on my Hardtop as a tribute to the Godfather of the Hemi.
I run a Hemi but a 6 cylinder Hemi.
It would be greatly appreciated.
Great video thoroughly thoroughly enjoyed it.
Your number 1 Fan in Australia
Louis Kats from Melbourne Australia ☺ 👍 ❤
Goodday Louis, Happy to get that "Hemi Fix" for you taken care of for today :-) Not sure I know where to get one of those stickers? I'll keep an eye out. Glad to read you thoroughly enjoy this video. Thank you for being my # 1 Fan in Australia, Lou
My 2nd favorite Mopar. My 1st is a 70 Challenger R/T, and they have to be a manual transmission with the pistol grip Hurst Shifter.
Hi John, Soooo close. Let's see what we can do in the future, Lou
Looking like you'll get to 100k subs soon! Keep on showing us these fine cars! Love it!
Hi MitchF150, Having 100K Subs would be nice. Glad to read you "Love it!" :-) Lou
Cool vintage memorabilia too!!
Nice to see the "trunk & treats" when they come with the car :-)
I agree with Rodger R, below! This made my day, too! It’s grey and rainy, here in SW Ontario, but I’m so inspired, I’m gonna go chirp the tires on my RAV4! (By trying to lock up the brakes)
Hi Cherry Picker Guitars, Hope your RAV4 lays a great patch of rubber down! Lou
Love the Cuda’s. These guys restore these bad boys with all the good stuff but for some reason of all these Cuda mods I have seen they never can seem to put a little grease on the door hinges. 😂
Happy to read you "Love the Cuda's" :-) Some grease would be a good idea on the door hinges.
Love this car a Mopar fan. Thanks Lou.
Happy to read you "Love this car" :-) You're welcome Ollie.
Hi Lou, Love your clips, in the UK! Greg.
HI Greg in the UK, Happy to read you're enjoying the clips with me :-) Glad you're along for the ride, Lou
What more could you ask out of a muscle car? Those were the days when Chrysler knew how to make cars! Thx Lou!
Hi Dave, This is a muscle car for sure :-) My pleasure sharing this one with you, and you're welcome, Lou
Really cool , it was sold in Daytona!!
Hi James, Thank you for viewing & sharing what you notice, Lou
Thank You for this great video!
You're welcome Bruce :-)
Beautiful
:-)
That video was great thanks lou 👍👍
You're welcome Matt :-)
Another great video made better with a ride. Thank you Lou. Isn't that Cuda worth an awful lot of money?
Hi Tom, Happy to get the ride for this video to share with you :-) You're welcome. I'm not sure what a car like this would sell for, Lou
@@loucostabile Well I just spent a couple well worth it hours watching your videos with Tom and other Cuda fanatics. Thanks Lou!
I found this online: One example with the Hemi engine and a stick shift is currently selling for a shade under half a million dollars on classiccars.com. The ultra-rare combination of Hemi powered convertible with a manual transmission sends the value of those examples into outer space. One of these 1971 Hemi Cuda convertibles smashed records in 2014 when it sold for a scarcely believable 3.5 million dollars.
awesome, let's go racing! i mean cruising lol thanx lou
Hi T. C. Happy to "go racing!" with you :-) You're welcome, Lou
Awesomeness.
High praise :-)
Wish I could like the video twice
Thank you Jimmy :-)
Killer car mate looks and sounds great I’m not a fan of colour coated bumpers, the chrome just helps to break it up a bit,but hey a hemi cuda you can’t go wrong👍
Hi Andrew H, Happy to read you enjoy this Hemi car :-) Lou
Ralph seemed very focused on his driving, giddy
Just the way we like it :-)
@@loucostabile Absolutely
Yep bucket list car. Make mine with power steering though. I have driven E bodies with 383s and 440s with manual steering, and they are not fun to parallel park. lol I imagine a Hemi car would be worse!
Hi Adam, "Yep bucket list car" Enough said. Lou
Awesomeness
CHEERS
God BLESS y'all
Hi Ed, High praise :-) Blessings received. God bless you too, Lou
Awesome Car!
Happy to share this one with you Dave :-)
