$305,000 1970 AAR Hemi Cuda | Vicious Contest Winner Announced!

[@raphelesmith6737]

Man I don't care "Who" doesn't like this car, This Is One Of The Most Awesome Car That I Have Ever Seen!!! You know Me, Mopar Or No Car 💖

[@ZeroFoxENT]

So sick. Nothing better than a big cube muscle car. That's an insane amount of torque too.

[@AutotopiaLA]

Yeah man! I love this car so much. The torque is nuts especially in a naturally aspirated big block muscle car.

[@justjamesAMX]

The 340s that came in them were better

[@MH-53E]

@@justjamesAMX You've got it. These are pretty boy cars, not muscle cars.

[@justjamesAMX]

@@MH-53E honestly it's not a real AAR then, they chose the 340 small block for a reason, so it was light enough up front so it could handle. That's why I'm going with a 318 in my 64 valiant drift car restoration.

[@MH-53E]

@@justjamesAMX Uncle Tony said "there's nothing you can do to a 340 that you can't do to a 318." Mopar rocks...

[@maidenaa13]

I appreciate the dialogue!. I'm 23 years old about to graduate and i aspire to make a build like this. These videos only serve as a solid reminder. Thanks!!! keep up the great content

[@AutotopiaLA]

You're welcome and I'm glad you like what we're doing here. And I say go for it on the build! Make something that blows your mind and it will probably do the same to others. What are you wanting to build first?

[@daviescott1406]

Love my HEMIS. Great car I really appreciate you showing a naturally aspirated powerful HEMI.

[@jameswhite8453]

So right, the deceleration sound of that Cuda is perfect. Great video.

[@AutotopiaLA]

Thanks man! That tone gets me every time. You almost want to rev high just so you can let off and hear that sound. Awesome!!

[@OhTheGeekness]

He kept saying "This thing is so cool" and I kept thinking "That thing is so cool". Honestly those old Cudas are the best looking cars ever made in my opinion. They suit my tastes exactly and that one is crazy,

[@CaptainFALKEN]

'70 front end. There were also '72 front end ones and the one in the film is always shown with the '72 rear end. Multiple stunt doubles of course, whatever but I love the car in general. 💪🇺🇸

[@chrisolevich7538]

Buying a 69 Camaro Restomod as a second owner. I can see how the cars hit 200-300 easy . I can see why Sean says 2nd owner is the best owner mentality👍🏻Amazing workmanship!!!!. No way you can build a car like this cuda for 4,800 lol. start pricing out the parts alone.... then the labor... This Cuda is beautiful!!

[@johncoleman5388]

I like Ray Barton's 528 Hemi, but this Hemi is producing some high horsepower. The 528 can produce 850+ streetable NA hp. The AAR Cuda's were my favorite Cuda due to its unique paint combination and the spoiler! They should have made a Hemi AAR Cuda. Its appearance was rad.

[@AutotopiaLA]

Hemi AAR would’ve been so good! This was done as a tribute to what could’ve been

It's the engine thats makes the Hemi Cuda bad ass. The Chrysler Hemi is king.

SIR SWERVE such a kick ass motor on this badboy. And the reliability is astounding to me. Turn the key and go every time which not all customs can claim.

AAR CUDA the car I dreamed of building myself but when I was younger didn't know mopar had already built a road racer....I have mopar video and of all the cars in it the most stunning is a AAR CUDA in hemi orange with the black dash stripes that drives by the camera in the video in bright sunlight just took my breath away...this car looks real nice with its black on black scheme....I think I remember It sitting at Doms house when Paul an him were discussing stuff on the movie...and I was thinking am I really seeing a original AAR cuda looks anyway it was a justification for us collectors of old stuff....I was driving E bodys from the first day I got my licence and had been waiting since i was ten,that was when my grandfather gave me a dealer card with 50 cars on it and I picked out all cudas an challenger's....in 1981 I was driving one around when nobody else had one for a daily driver....I had five in the next few years I just started buying them 1000 bucks 800 bucks 1200bucks and for 10 years I drove them around the northeast when nobody else had one for a daily driver....so it was nice to 2009 come finally and the new E body come back on line.....

[@MH-53E]

It's not underrated, this is muscle car blasphemy. It's not a 1970 anything. I seriously doubt it is was a true AAR car. Nothing says AAR Cuda, it's a 2000's pretty boy put together. It's very nice but so far from what it represents to be. What else can I say. Even Jay Leno stopped pimping these fakes.

The AAR CUDA was the urban assault vehicle they were mopars 410 years an a 6 pack carbs...I was able to get a AAR cuda trans and put it in 70 SE challenger small block 727 with a factory 2500 rpm stall converter it was just the right slippage to get the small block off a stop sign corner or traffic light.....with a wimpy industrial/ marine 318 two barrel I smoked two guys in a 69 Camaro even surprised myself how quick the car got off the light and down the road and around a sweeper up to 90 I was surprised but that was that AAR cuda trans in 1970 Chrysler tried to go road racing unfortunately the 340 was too big and was destroked to meet TRANS AM rules of 302 cubes and they suffered from overheating all season I think they did manage to win one race all year but they got destroyed by boss mustang an those famous DZ 302 Chevy s Camaro....I found out boss 302 engine had 460 big block heads on them rumor is they were easily 475 horsepower before the race mechanics an tech got its carb dialed in still was the best looking thanks so jealous

[@AutotopiaLA]

Cool story here. Thank you

gee it ALMOST sounds like you sorta know what you were talking about in this comment...the Cu.in. limit was 305. BTW the AAR auto trans was just a regular HP 727 torque flite nothing special about it.

[@BrianJohnson-lh2ek]

I have to say, this car is disgusting!! I hate seeing it. It make me want to cry. 35 years ago I met my uncle on my Dad's side for the first time. He was a car guy. He had 57 Chevy Bel-Air 2 door hardtops, MOPAR's, old Fords. But the one car he had and I fell in love with was his Black 1970 CUDA with a High Performance 340 4 speed with the pistol grip. He took me for rides all over town, leaving his black marks everywhere. I was 16 years old and out of the blue asked me if I wanted to drive it just around the shop to turn it around. "HELL YEAH!!!" The words couldn't come out fast enough. That day became the day I fell in love with this car. Iv'e had a number of MOPAR's but have never had the chance to get my hands on one of these. I don't care if it was a fixer upper. I LOVE THIS CAR!!!!! I'll be realistic, I'm 51 years old now and not seeing me owning a 70 CUDA in this lifetime. Every time I see one on TV or in person, I can't help but shake my head and think back to that moment where I had that pistol shiftier in my right hand and got to drive that Beautiful Beast for a few moments. You have done a Beautiful job on this CUDA!!!!
