Here's a little departure for you guys! After driving a twin turbo R8, McLaren 720s, and JDM Civic Type-R, I think it's time we take it back to the basics. This 1973 Plymouth Cuda has been in the owner's family since it left the showroom, and has spent it's life like retirement, taking it easy and just cruising the backroads. With a 360ci engine swapped in, it makes plenty enough power for modern standards, while still retaining that original feel, straight from 1973. Enjoy!

There is nothing like an older, classic car. They really don't make them like they used to! It's a totally different experience

[@ballzonmaface]

fuck off

[@stevec7819]

No missed calls and no messages; however, plenty of KZbin notifications

[@ballzonmaface]

S Wonton lmao exactly.. pathetic

[@MrEvilTag]

Everyone should drive an old car. It's a complete different experience. You are in control of everything and yet in control of nothing so racing and just cruising is very different

[@bigdraco151]

MaxSpeed nigga its a classic wym its old school

[@hashemhashem381]

What an alpha muscle car

[@TheDuckseason]

When I was a teen in the 80s a classmate bought one, a burn victim for $100. In auto body class we spent the entire year of school rebuilding her , what a ride.

More character and charisma than anything on the planet

One of my dream cars my grandfather owned a 70' Plumcrazy purple Cuda 440 wish I had the money to find one for him so we could work on it together and let him have his car back

[@MrCarguy2]

this car is absolutely bad ass

[@johnbarnett4858]

I have an 03 Terminator that's my car I've always been and SVT Cobra man but if I seen that Cuda up there I definitely have to pull over and give it props

[@paranormal_6lacktivity5.0]

One of my favorite muscle cars! So beautiful

[@gmain1977]

Muscle cars are the baddest cars on the planet. The names of the cars, street racing and drag racing history. The shape of this car is so cool. These had raw power and they was built for kids

[@EB240]

Best looking cuda IMHO, love those round rear tail lights

[@shunsato6621]

This car came out 2years after I was born.... still looking good AF!!

[@ogmechsftw]

assuming this cuda weighs about 3400lbs: the weight difference between this cuda and a new challenger hellcat is about 1100lbs the weight difference between this cuda and a 1995 usdm mr2 t-top turbo is about 450lbs so this "big boat" is much closer in weight to a little mr2 than it is to a new hellcat. oof

[@davidmopar8446]

The cuda should weigh less, my 74 challenger is 3,470 lbs and its not stripped

[@rbrboulet]

Your a moron. You can’t buy a new challenger that weighs less than 4K pounds

[@01trsmar]

Big Boat ? These are compact cars in the day and are the length of a Dodge Avenger ! These are short cars...Not boats !

[@justenough730]

@@01trsmar boat is Ford speak.it means that a Mopar stomped all over their ford mustang and they are 😭 about it.ford mustang the jack of all trades and master of none.it's really jealousy.i mean why can't Ford build a he man mustang instead of a wanna be race car.

Hey, MAN, this car is somomething, so cool to se this beast, you should record more video like this! good luck, man)

Nice ! Sure hope more classic car and truck owners reach out to you for vids. The Fraser Valley has so many award winning vehicles.

[@RoadsUntraveled]

Langley has some awesome car meets throughout the year where you can find some beautiful vehicles. We are definitely lucky with the amount of diversity in the car culture here in Vancouver.

I love mopar cars.

[@JTC-go3kg]

Come to Connecticut and do test of my Rare 1999 Dakota RT.. 5.9 .. 3.92 Gears Viper yellow .. these motors were underrated !!! It’s very easy to make big power

[@StevenSanchezWelding]

Always wanted to restore one of these.

Beautiful car. 😍

[@davehibbs9111]

No slant six with the cuda' ... only the barracuda!!!

[@johnmaccoy4324]

71 is my favorite year for the cuda

[@reckemroysrc3764]

Awesome car. I too have a 73 cuda I put a 383 big block nicely built 3.55 posi and 727 trans. I love my cuda and have owned it since 1988 back then I picked it up for 400 bucks for it. I have put only less than a couple thousand bucks into it and it is just a blast and I will say this car on the video is very nice but mine would smoke him in a race. IN my car if you stand on it it will smoke The tires thru second and chirp going in to drive. And hang on because it's probably going to be sideways at 60 love my cuda and will never let it go 😎

[@JTC-go3kg]

And Hotchkis and many others make Suspension and brakes .. that make these handle ..

[@MrEvilTag]

I love my duster, but i would trade it for a cuda any day!!

[@TheDustyaman]

Dante Planeta I have a 440 Dart sport. I wouldn’t trade it for a cuda.

[@3joewj]

A lot of the body roll is the heavy motor and the bushings... My 73 has a 340 and I'm rebuilding the front end with polygraphite bushings...will be a huge difference.

[@justenough730]

I was looking up the weight of gm Ford and Mopar V8s and a small block Mopar weighs less than a small block chevy

[@JaredR1996]

Gotta love a V8

[@2H2521]

You need to move away from that state,come on down to Mississippi, get inspection with open headers,an enjoy it every day,!!!

[@AustinMBecker]

I still believe that older muscle cars are too expensive, but you pay for the unique experience. Nice to see a change of pace with American muscle vs JDM. Not to say that I don't like JDM, I actually prefer it...

[@MrEvilTag]

Well yeah because they are dying off and going up in price. It used be be a cheap high school car similar to how 90s civics are now

There are so many upgrades for the 5.9 .. turbos , stroker kits .. Superchargers .. cams , heads .. nitrous ..

[@cobaltlukather9045]

well, in '73, Toyota has the Celica as their sports car, and the top engine in '73 was a 97 horsepower 18R engine. made 170lb-ft torque out of the very best 2-liter they could make at the time. just put this into perspective for you: Plymouth had three times the power from an engine three times the displacement in a car that was certainly not three times the weight (in the case of the 360 V8) over the Toyota. The 360 was just one step up from the basic economy engine that was the 318 which was viewed as the V6 Camaro of the day. now go look at the cream of the crop Plymouth and there's a bit of a weight penalty but helluva lot of power. 425 of them to be exact. Toyota had no answer. Their best, most high-performance car, was beaten by the American grandma-spec coupes on American roads. Nissan's 240Z was barely any better off. People only bought them because the character was unique at that time, not because they were faster. Muscle cars were the hypercars of the time. nothing had the power they did and nothing could handle so much better than a muscle car that they could outdo a muscle car on most racetracks, stock-to-stock.

For those of you who don’t live in British Columbia Canada *Marcus I live in Duncan don’t judge it’s not that bad* the guy has Collector’s plates if he wants to keep those plates he has to follow these laws Vehicle eligibility Collector plates may be used on passenger vehicles (cars, light trucks and motorcycles).​ Motorhomes do not qualify for a collector plate. Your vehicle must meet the following requirements: ​Age ​To qualify, your vehicle must be one of the following: 25 years or older A limited production vehicle ​​​15 years or older, and ​​​​1 of no more than 1,500 of that make and model (not edition) produced worldwide by the manufacturer for that model year. A discontinued vehicle ​15 years or older, and A manufacturer that owns the "trademark" or "make" of that vehicle has ceased manufacturing vehicles of any kind for at least the last five years.​ Collectible condition ​Vehicles with any damage anywhere - regardless of vehicle age -​ does not meet the collectible condition.​ Vehicle must be fully assembled with no missing parts and be in exceedingly good condition.
