1971 Plymouth 'Cuda 440-6 Convertible Muscle Car Of The Week Video #19
There are many "one of one" cars in the Brothers Collection, cars that may be the only on made with specific options, engine, or color. This episode features one of the more significant 1/1 cars in the Collection.. a 1971 Plymouth 'Cuda 440 6-Pack Convertible! Plymouth only made 17 440 'Cuda convertibles in '71, 12 were automatics, and this is the only one in color code Y9 Tawny Gold. This car is also unique in that it is one of only 2 wit ht the optional Shaker hood and Billboard stripes on the quarters. It is a fully documented original car certified by Mopar expert Galen Govier, and it is regarded as the highest-optioned 'Cuda convertible built. Truly a unique car!

The 1971 'Cuda is my dream car and, in my humble opinion, is the best looking of the lot!

[@Roberta_Esposito]

got mine in 82 , i was 13

[@warriordefender4906]

Fabulous,monster car. None made like this for 40 years.

[@luckyb0y15]

such a beautiful designed machine. 🏆

[@earli3693]

That paint job gives the impression that looks like a "fire breathing dragon"...so cool!

[@bongodave13]

The Cuda and Challenger were some of the best looking cars ever made. Especially the convertibles.

[@Roberta_Esposito]

💯‼️

[@TheElectronMan]

What a bad ass car... Amazing...

[@bartocgi]

Great cars, i have the other shaker billboard six pack. Brad and Bart are gentlemen. Great Job!!!

[@jeremythompson9122]

Just the type of color I would've ordered. Doesn't draw too much unwanted attention from the cops. Awesome ride. 1971 was the last hurrah for Mopar building high compression muscle cars. It was all downhill after that until pretty recently

[@Sebastian_Dinwiddie]

Plymouth called their three, two barrel carb setup the Six Barrel. Six Pack (or Six Pak) was the Dodge term.

[@bobsilver3983]

Car designers of the 60's and 70's were right on! Car designers now..smh

[@jeremythompson9122]

They have no design now. They all look exactly alike. Remove the badges and you can't tell the difference

[@guysoceanharmonics]

The greatest era of the muscle car pure rolling art

[@paul1x1]

Love American cars but the coda is the best looking car ever conceived and built anywhere anytime

[@TheFokker03]

Kevin, you sure get some classy muscle car variants to show us.

[@weshoyt2322]

Outstanding machine!!!!!!!

[@michaelcaron7659]

Now THIS is what I’m talking about 👍😁👍

[@ronaldflint4569]

One Sweet Cuda... "The Holy Grail"...👍

[@Slimjim260]

Just love the SHAKER!!!!

[@GrooveDuude]

The 71 grill is the meanest look.

[@Roberta_Esposito]

💯‼️ , got mine in 82

[@richardturk7162]

I had a Tawney gold 71 Dodge Demon 340 back in 72 and that color really sucked in the daylight but came off as a weird green under lights at night. Looks good on the cuda with the billboard to cover some of that brown up.Awesome cuda.

[@ronstewart3431]

Awesome car 🚗

[@yurdp]

I’m drooling here!

[@kellienicolebrooksschettin6598]

Pretty green gold whatever beautiful

[@kanukster]

Love it! 1 of 1 = $$$$$$$

[@HITEKSTRANGER]

What a masterpiece !

[@tomlea3713]

Very cool car and as usual an excellent video! One option I've never understood is the luggage rack. Tons of them were installed on C-3 Corvettes. Has anyone ever seen one with suitcases strapped to it? I haven't! I think it detracts from the otherwise fantastic looks of this car. A Go Wing would look great!

[@wes326]

Made sense for the Corvette because it had no trunk, I believe.

[@scottpitman3266]

I used the luggage rack on my 71 Challenger convertible to haul a push mower.

[@jmsjms296]

That's the one.

[@matthunsecker6241]

My Dad had one new in black. With luggage rack 4 speed 340 with brown interior

[@slacadjuster237]

a hard-on car for sure

[@73challenger5031]

I may be wrong but, didn't Mike Conners drive a '70 or '71 'cuda in the show "Mannix?" I also remember Robert Reed, of the "Brady Bunch" drove a 'cuda for a season. Mod Squad had all sorts of Mopar muscle including a Gold, '71 Challenger, a '68 Charger and a '70 Superbird, among others!

[@montedyoung3247]

It’s from SATX, where I live!

[@edcain3676]

SHAME That the Most Highly Optioned CUDA Couldn't Have Been Adorned With A More Desirable Paint.Looks More Like ARMY Green

[@xavierwarren9799]

I think the grille is what catches me the most about these vehicles. ..disrespect I know

[@rondleswango5479]

Bet that's a high dollar car

[@rondleswango5479]

That would run close to a hemi

[@kellienicolebrooksschettin6598]

God i like that color

[@davidkanera7445]

4 went to Canada. I'm glad someone else caught that.

[@gf4353]

Where's the pistol grip 4-speed, and rally dash?

[@ronjacobsen3264]

Oh man.

[@maxredman1015]

Great Car, the luggage rack is so out of place. Stock or not they should have lost it when they restored the car, it would be so much better without it.

[@deanwilliams867]

No, they made 11 Hemi cudas convertibles in 1971 not 7

[@summitdrinker]

Very Nice car, odd color for sure

[@Roberta_Esposito]

mine is Autumn Bronze Metallic

[@Sinsteel]

I notice he didn't try to put the top down, haha!

[@davidtweedy8036]

There was never a Plymouth six pack manufactured. Sorry Pet peave of mine....

[@hemi57]

How is that the "Brother's Collection" get such cars? Where does the money come from?

[@duketoofor3098]

2006 Rubicon the coke brothers... billionaires.

[@ethanmiter7813]

I thought the 446 pack and all the other engines lost power and compression in 71 except for the 426 hemi it doesn’t make any sense that you’re saying the 440 was still good this year?????????

[@onenikkione]

I had a gold with white vinyl top "69 charger R/T with the 440 4 speed (no six-pak). first car I owned and I destroyed it but I was only 19

[@m22dude]

Nice car but needs a 4 speed for my liking

[@Roberta_Esposito]

hemi 4sp were not that great

[@spchallenger340]

Mopar or No Car $$$$$

[@Roberta_Esposito]

my baby since ‘82..... dad paid $600 for it

[@Hot80s]

that last one was a 2bbl burnout lol outboards never came on why bother peeling the tires if your not going to roast them

[@kellienicolebrooksschettin6598]

Not my color but thst body looks great in that color thats all i care about when i make a personal judgement weather or not i like a color first an fir most how does that color look on the bidy style great with the black billboard s really great.....an i never was a fan of dodge green an i dont believe i ve seen this color in new condition which is the cool part of watching....dont melt tires on account of me thanks anyway... Really thanks people dont remember that E bodys were dodges funny cars 274 mph snake driven.....thanks

[@Cheops2112]

ANOTHER complete restoration yet....the clock doesn’t work....🙄

[@stripervince1]

That luggage rack kills the entire car. Lame as a 427 vette with a luggage rack and a sideways radio

[@peKadoDeDioZ]

oh god!! get rid of that stupid luggage rack

[@deanwilliams867]

It's a 6 Barrel. Not a six pack. Get it straight.

[@stonedraider708]

Hate the driving lights and even more. the horrible luggage rack on the trunk..

[@gaetanodetorrice5555]

It's not a six-pack. It's a sixth barrel it's a Plymouth . Dodge is six-pack Plymouth is 6 barrel. Not a Chrysler guy I guess 😭😢😂

[@ryankelsey7]

I hate the jarring stupid transitions in this video. gave me a headache despite the car being awesome

[@halmerch2229]

God what a nasty color.

[@dicarlo57]

no. same color as my girl friends ass.

[@kevinklien90]

dicarlo57 lol

[@JackF99]

I don't know about the rest of the country but in Cali, 1970 was the end of the muscle car era. All the 1971 cars were dogs- down on power and ran like crap.

[@danielwalsh2075]

They should put a LS engine in 1of them

[@gerald4133]

I like the gills drop top shaker what else could you ask for. American muscle. They use to be obtainable by normal ppl. Now ppl with deep pockets buy these cars.

[@gerald4133]

The 4 headlights helped at night you could see even in the ditches. Iprevious owner dropped a cam it almost put it in the ditch twice i steered out of it. I think it was close to 400 hp.

[@jeremythompson9122]

The 440+6 was definitely making over 400 horses. I'm sure the regular 440-4 barrel was too really

[@gerald4133]

@@jeremythompson9122 yeah your right. What's funny is my cousin went to nursing school her fiancee wanted to race my dad. Her new beau had a 70' cuda' 440+6 wanted to race my dad's 69: 440 4bbl. My dad laughed and said No! You really need to tune those carbs it sounds like crap. It was yellow with the Shaker hood. My dad's A body had a 4 bbl automatic. My cousins was a 4spd if I recall I was later to buy a 71' 383 from a owner who dropped a cam , aluminum Edelbrock manifold and Holley carb. The clutch was crap they had been ruining it hard my ex took all my pic but one, and you know I took alot of pics of the billboards 383.

[@gerald4133]

Beautiful. My dad had a 69' 440 cuda'. I had a preused 71' 383 cuda'.

[@jeremythompson9122]

A guy I worked with about 15 years ago had a 69 Barracuda 383/auto. It was in beautiful original condition and he drove it daily for a while. Tried to buy it almost every day LoL

[@AlienGrade]

they had 440 cuda for 69????

[@williambayliss2367]

A friend of mine had a 69 440 Barracuda, they really weren't called Cuda's yet. The way he drove it it might as well have had a slant six, that car was going to last forever.

[@gerald4133]

@@williambayliss2367 my dad had to take off the cuda' emblems & 440 on the front lower quarter panel my dad's car came with the emblem. Every ragged out mustang wanted to race us at nearly every red light.

[@gerald4133]

@@williambayliss2367 maybe his didn't come with it but my dad had to take his emblems 440 cuda' because every one wanted to race at the red light. We used it as a family car but on weekends dad would take it out for fun.

[@gerald4133]

Its atractive. I had a orage 383 71 cuda' the prior owner droped a cam and aluminum intake. I ddn't have shake. Somebody lifted the wires to my hood. I enjoy convertables. I love that twany brown on that cuda'. Beautiful car. Thanks for posting. Missin' my fish. Cuda' :(
