1970 Plymouth Cuda full walk-through

Wayne from PEI Canada with a full walk-through of his 1970 Plymouth Cuda. Many hours have been put into this car to make it this nice. If you are looking for a future build contact him on facebook at Down East Auto Sales.

[@DF-ee8vt]

The AAR 'Cuda and the Challenger T/A are the coolest-looking of the bunch.

[@ericochoa4271]

this is not a real AAR cuda. The AAR cuda and Challenger T/A had the exhaust pipes come out from the side not the tail end and had a 340 v8 with the 6 pack not a 440 six pack. The one in the video is still a badass ride though.

[@DF-ee8vt]

@@ericochoa4271 I certainly agree with you. My comment referred mainly to the general appearance with the black hood and the striping style with AAR decal or T/A lettering. The side pipes absolutely add to the coolness.

[@davidlane9138]

I agree 💯 mopar is king of mucsle cars.💪😎

[@DF-ee8vt]

In my opinion, the 70-71 'Cudas are second-to-none when it comes to beauty.

[@floydlarken3148]

Sad they started DTuning them

[@niftycritter1870]

Handsome not beautiful. 🥸

Even as a kid, when it was new I thought this car was way better looking than mustang and Camero. Now I know more about everything and Cuda is still my favorite all these years later

AAR cudas and Challengers 👍

[@stevevice9863]

Was that an original AAR Cuda? They are worth a fortune, but only if you leave them stock. AAR Cudas came with a 340 six pack and side exit exhaust.

[@rogermiller9123]

no exhaust does not exit the rear

[@robbierob6181]

They did. According to one of my Muscle Car books, it was just an aesthetic detail. But in fact, it didn't upgrade numbers, as the plumbing was more restrictive.

[@bigolow641]

Not a real AAR, but very nice.

[@jaymopar3543]

I heard dodge might bring back the Cuda. I hope they don't fuck up the design like how they disrespected the dodge dart. Smfh. This is the real beauty and the beast. Damn son!

[@bhaggerty4516]

Beautiful car but needed at least one good romp on the accelerator to make the video more interesting and entertaining.

[@MrPERPS]

Sweet baby jesus

[@reidgilker4527]

They did a nice rotisserie restoration on that car, but the rear valance on the drivers side needs to be attended to, its out of whack,, aside from that,, she's really nice!!

[@SLK-Estudio]

Pues a mi si me parecen geniales los autos con apariencia clásica, pero elementos modernos, es algo así como los Ford 1931 a los que les ponen un motor moderno, aire acondicionado, suspensiones modernas etc. o cuando ¨restauran¨ y preparan un Ford Mustang del 79, o un Plymouth Barracuda de 1970, etc. con elementos modernos, pero conservando la originalidad de sus hermosas líneas, con lo que si no puedo estar de acuerdo, es con ponerles un nefasto y ridículo motor eléctrico, matando por completo su esencia. Buen video, va mi like.

[@user-vr2tx4tt6b]

Is that '70 Barracuda beside it?

[@CamaroZ-cr9bo]

*Saulo Correa* Yes that's an automatic!! console shift!!

[@CamaroZ-cr9bo]

So it has a 440 4bbl with a Dodge Six Pack intake cover?

[@devillockj]

I’m Canadian and I’m over here like wtf is that accent 😂

[@amandamorrison895]

Prince Edward Island lol

[@gskeers1]

why is it has a 4 barrel carb when it says six pack on the air filter cap?

[@Fmandan77]

Its not really a 4bbl, it's a EFI throttle body with fuel injectors (throttle body injection) mounted on a 4bbl intake manifold. This appears to be a real AAR which came originally with a 6bbl induction system. In the video he explains that he wanted better fuel economy and less of the typical hassles associated with carburetors. He still runs an air cleaner lid system that looks correct for a 6bbl.

[@iiatargetanalyst3046]

Its purring

[@gargar8196]

I thought they had shaker hoods

[@fatald0wn]

Why not send it. I wanna hear it peak

[@otherwise7972]

still scratching my head why I didnt buy one of these when I was still a kid I did buy a 11 sec El Camino however but only because I was able to haul a 10 sec Suzuki. Mopars will remain forever my favorites. They will NEVER make a quicker faster engine to go Top Fuel/Funny Car racing ever. Hemi Power without the name of Mopar doesn't mean its not a Mopar

[@bobbybroussard5319]

It's a Plymouth...that would make it a 6 barrel. Dodge called their set up 6 Pack...Although really this is neither with that Sniper

[@crazysocial2187]

fast n furious....aar cuda

[@gaetanodetorrice5555]

Isn't Chrysler Dodge Plymouth called a sure grip rear and a posi rear is a GM term ? And shouldn't have been called the sixth barrel instead of a six pack cuz six pack is a Dodge term and six barrels Plymouth? I was just wondering I'm not jealous or anything I do own a barracuda 1966 formula s. 4-speed 8 3/4 rear.

[@catalinmatei5340]

Automatic transmision..... That s too bad.

[@robrippen]

Would have been cooler to see what it can do but I guess it's just a cool looking car to cruise in. Dodge has plans to do a remake of the Cuda similar to the challenger. But that could be 2030 b4 they come out. Hopefully if won't be a dammned electric car thanks to slo MO Joe & his followers....

[@martinjvillasenor773]

How does a Plymouth have a dodge magnum and 6 pak!

[@dane-xxx-8713]

4 speed??

[@Fmandan77]

It appears to be a 3 speed automatic, like they came stock. Some people put in 4 speed automatics, but I don't think so here -it looks like a stock transmission.

[@dane-xxx-8713]

thanks man, sorry for late response, I never keep track od the messages,

[@georgeleverett3407]

What no burnout

[@clarksteve4328]

Barracuda or cuda. Big difference

[@patrickwayne3701]

It's a build tribute to an AAR. They didn't show the fender tag or you could tell what it was. But, it's got allot of the right parts. Magnum Opus sweet looking car no matter what.

[@A_Different_Kind_Of_Truth]

LOVELY, WANTY !!! $50,000 ??? ... I'm joking, I know it's worth about $350,000 and I'm from Ireland ✌️BUT.. If you want to donate it to me, I'll mind it for you until you come over.. 😂😂

[@BrianMoats-sv8hr]

340 six pack. Not the most powerful of the 'Cudas. Track version had a single 4 barrel.

[@mikecanam9477]

Guy. Your drive shaft is going to fall out.

[@Fmandan77]

Good catch. He needs the driveshaft lengthened a few inches. That's odd if it's the original 340 and 727 trans.

[@johnfitcheard7112]

440 fuel injection

[@33ordie]

Fake six pack... uh... Is it even a real 440?... For some reason I'd put an X-Pipe to get rid of that tug boat sounding exhaust :)

[@Fmandan77]

It appears to be a real 6bbl 340ci AAR Cuda. If you listen to the video, the owner wanted a fuel injection system for better economy and less hassles. Hopefully he still has the original induction system. AAR Cuda's didn't come with 440s, but you could option a 1970 Cuda with a 440 6bbl (V code) if you wanted to back then. Hope this information helps you.
