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.❤❤👍👍😉😁😃

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.

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!
