Oh, this brought back some memories ... thanks. My first new car was a 1970 Barracuda. Had the 318, with 4speed Hurst shifter.
mine was a 383 cuda. Loved that car.
I wish time travel was possible.
Very first car when I was 15 1/2 yrs. old that I bought..all on my own , was a '69 Barracuda(the older longer style) then bought a '71 later, and had a '72 later..but only for 3 weeks when some dillhole ran a red light and t-boned in the side with his truck. Was actually looking for a Challenger at the time I bought the '71 and later the '72, but came across the 'Cuda's, and loved those damn cars!
My first car was for my 1973 H S graduation present. It was a brand new off the dealership showroom floor 1973 340 Cuda as I said in the comments. I too wanted a Challenger, that was the car my cousin had: 1970 383 4 speed.
So, since he had that car, I got a Cuda since we hung out together with the same friends.
Hope you enjoyed those cars as much as I liked mine.
Parents I realized sacrificed a lot to give me that car as they were by no means rich. School teacher and a housewife.
If they reopened the factory and made these to the original specification they'd have orders for 50 years.
No shit. I'd order two 426's , one in all white and one in all green. One in manual, one in automatic. Forget the vinyl roof, thank you. Convertibles available? Hell Yeah!
I did not know about the valve lash issue, what a pain in the neck.Thanks for sharing! Oh, and yeah....ANY vynil seats in the 1970's were ass-hibachis! Love the term :)
I guess so. Today, I'd buy one just to have and drive here and there. Not the way back then!
@butchtropic For 1970 Hemi had hydraulic lifters,no more valve adjustments.
@butchtropic Most cars I had, AC was fried and even those that worked I never used it since I always keep window down - driving too fast. It's all about looks and performance. Comfort is negligible.
All those barracudas ('cudas) are sooo beautiful.
My Husband used to have a 68 and a 70 he liked the 68 better more metal and fold down back seat the 70 was more plastic inside and the door panels would rot from the heat you could run your finger nails down them and they would leave a mark.
@@cindysue5474 hey which better 1970 challenger or 1970 cuda
@@cindysue5474for me personally challenger and charger 1969 and 1970 are overrated only thing I liked is the 1970 Dodge Challenger commercial you could be Dodge material Cheryln Miller girl and if I had to choose Dodge I choose 1971 Dodge demon so underpreceated but good for lightweight car
wish their rust-proofing was as good as they say. I'd have saved a mint when I restored my FM3 AAR Cuda.
When you ordered the Hemi, the standard 5 year/50,000 mi. warranty was reduced to 12 months/12,000 miles.
I had 5 of these growing up, 3-383's 2-440's,
was the power on the 440 significant or could you build up the power on a 383?
Ive owned several. I wish I still had one.
It's hard to believe it traces it's lineage back to the Valiant, but it did. What a beautiful car, inside and out
1970 Cuda 2-dr HT $3164.00 production total 18,880 . The "Street Hemi" was an $871.85 extra in Torquflite equipped "Cudas" Few were ordered. The Six pack 440 was $250.00. The AAR Cuda was offered in the spring of 1970 with special performance features for the Trans AM racing circuit. Production of 2.800 units was programmed, but the exact number of AA Cudas is unknown. Of ALL Chrysler products this year only 1,606 had the "Street Hemi"
In the mid 1970s my first car was a 'Cuda only because it was so much less money used than a Mustang or Camaro. As a teenager I feel in love with Mopar. I drove it like I stole it held up pretty good. It came with a color coded high rise manifold and Holley carb and only 30k miles in that Chrysler blue color. Its funny how the 383 had 330HP and they get that out of most V6s today but it was still a super fun car.
Wow, I saw a hemi cuda convertible.
The Topper 426 CU... yeah baby
Man, those times look so awesome. Always wish I could of lived during those times but I know every generation wish it could of lived in the previous at least that's how it should be in my opinion but may not apply to alot of this new generation.
Not me previous gen you mean the 90s I prefer 60s 70s and 80s 90s nope
Came in right before I was being shipped overseas while in the marine Corp. got to see the best street race ever. A 70 cuda 383-4 speed and a 70 z-28 4 speed. Both cars stock except they put slicks on them and I don’t think they changed the gear ratio. The z won but barely and my friend that use to own the cuda said the guy must have missed a gear. I’ll never forget- I was standing behind them when they started- both cars looked like they started swelling up and then both had their wheels come off the ground. I’ll never forget
70/71 ultimate in performance options, if ordered right. Was unbeatable on street and track if ordered right.
Well not really
I had the opportunity to buy a 70 Gran Coupe 383 4bbl ( 330 hp) auto in gold on green, in 1999, for $2k. It was pretty rusty, but ran good and was a complete car. Interior was good, needed carpeting. The car had factory a/c, p/s, pdiscs, Tuff wheel, rallye wheels, dual outside mirrors, Am/Fm ( still worked) fold down frt buddy seat, and CC. The car had been in a metal storage container for 10 yrs. But the rear frame on the drivers side was gone, and the trunk floor was swiss cheese. ( and of course rear quarters and extensions) I passed on it. I shouldn't have.. I found out later that the car as optioned was rare. about 467 made... Now rusted out hulks demand big bucks!
My dream car fr
*F70-14* Tires, standard equipment on *Hemi Cuda......*
Did it also come with *four spare tires* so you can get that Hemi from the Dealer to your house!!??? 😉😎😱😱😱😀😀😀
OMFG..... If I were only 8 years older. 😫 Because in 1978, Musclecar performance was measured with an *Hourglass!!!!!* ⌛🐖💩😬😭😭😖😛😫
and groovy too
They should do a new Cuda' version with the "Elephant Hemi" motor and shaker hood 6speed.
5:33 A 1970 HEMICUDA CONVERTABLE!!! 😳😮HOLY SHITTE. That car is worth millions today. I wanna go back in time, with Dr. Emmit Brown and Marty McFly to buy a few, put them in bubble wrap and unwrap them now 😳
@silverbird58 what about Nascar hemi vs regular hemi
The shaker hood was actually a engineering mistake so instead of solving the problem they just called it a shaker hood. A lot more Hemi motors would have been ordered but you could not get air conditioning with them.
And Plymouth more than likely sent every car in the video to the crusher after magazine monkeys beat them for a few months....Hemi convertible included...
that's right. so sad
The red Hemi still exists today.
i had a 1970 gran coupe with the 318 years ago, wish i still had it. my dream cuda is the AAR.
Enjoy them because it was all downhill from here.
AAR 'Cuda not mentioned !!!
Probably a mid year addition...
Those vinyl roofs are hideous , I had a 71 340 cuda back in the 80s, even when I was kid I hated those roofs lol
Even with power sunroof and is good for me but automatic not that I don't know how to drive stick or manual transmission but because I smoke a cig when I drive and put both windows down and sunroof is good so the cigarette smell doesn't stay in the cuda
Notice they didn't mention the AAR.
This film was made the same time Charles Manson was... well you know.
Was busted by the LAPD
Charlie never drove a MOPAR
I'll take a bakers' dozen. One is for my cousin.
Bought one in 1978 tripple black 383 super cammando 4 speed it could get out from under you real quick I smashed into someones house foundation one night if it had been a hemi I'd probably be dead long before I was a crazy driver when I was 17 miss that car and feel like a shithead for wrecking one.
But, but, but, but.......
*IN PURPLE!!????* 😱😱😱😨😨 Where was Plum Crazy?
PacbeltRR - Plymouth's name for it was "In Violet."

Give me a slant 6 and a 3 speed with manual 4 wheel drums any day. Zoom-zoom.
Super #ss Backwards , Simulated Power hood scoops & Functional Hood pins , Should have been the other way around. Simulated hood pins and Functional Hood Scoop.
To think if I had been old enough to buy that as a young adult?..I would be dead by now of old age! DNA in this family stops by 70 or so.
I'm still confused as hell Somebody explain to me the difference in the two cars is one of them bigger like the cuda, is it bigger then the Barracuda???
Both are exactly the same body and dimensions, the only difference was the base engines and for the cuda you got upgraded suspension and styling features. But you could order a regular barracuda with a 383 4-bbl. Also the barracuda gran coupe had a slightly fancier interior, it had better seat material like leather or hounds tooth an overhead console info center that lit up for low fuel door ajar and I think seatbelts..
Cuda was the performance model barracuda was the everyday base model.like challenger vs r/t
Won’t the shaker hood suck in water during rain?
You have a cable release that opened or closed it
CZcams commentator “cdavid8139” insists to “Spcyamigo95” that a cable operation keeps the water from coming in through the shaker hood.
Psssst: Buy 10 1971 Hemi Cuda 4 Speed Convertibles and put them in a barn for 50 years and you’ll have the best investment ever. 10s of Millions of Dollars!!! 😳🙀😀 👍
Wished I would have known that back then!!! How about you other people that grew up in the 60s and 70s? 💩💩💩
I had a brand new, off the showroom floor 1973 340 Cuda for about 3 years.
Had trouble with electrical issues and traded it in 1975 for a new Trans Am.
what is it with the fucking bass
