I like that he left the body alone and did minimal but tasteful mods to the interior. He put the money where it matters most, engine/drivetrain and suspension.

[@danmyers9372]

Agree!

[@bludragontruck9743]

Just what I’d do to a Chevelle 🤫

[@AutotopiaLA]

He still wanted it to be a Cuda. What an incredible build on every point. Design and execution are flawless

[@thebob01]

That sound is why I'll never buy an electric car. Hellcat engines are music to my ears. Love old school Mopar restomods. BADASS!

[@AutotopiaLA]

Im with you all the way! Sucks that everything is moving towards Duracell powered cars 🤢

[@dangerouskoin4874]

@@AutotopiaLA You guys need to check out Bizi's Porsche then! Raw electric cars sound amazing. Sound like a freaking jet and take off like one too! I get that V8's sound amazing, but electric blows the doors off all those motors and is well suited to a build like this. There is an electric drift Trueno as well that lights tires on command, has a clutch, gears and everything. We had decades of gasoline engines, time for an upgrade.

[@MrUltraworld]

When a crate motor makes over 700hp, there's no reason to mod it. This custom car has OEM reliability. Great build.

Idk if I would associate a fiat engine with “reliability” regardless of how cool it is.

[@chadpurser]

One of my favorites you've had on the channel. Such a classy build.

[@AutotopiaLA]

Same for me. Really next level styling and execution

the '71 Barracuda has been my favorite car for over 35 years ... Love the color choices Well Done !!!

[@xr8rick]

Wow, i love it. It’s so tastefully done. There’s no bells and whistles hanging off it everywhere. It’s in my top 10 Autotopia cars.

[@AutotopiaLA]

Same for me. One of the nicest builds we’ve ever shot for sure

[@Ronagery]

WOW. Like I always say....Your channel is getting better by the minute ! Thx you Sean

Glad you liked it

[@2414kels]

I dig everything about this Cuda

[@AutotopiaLA]

Me too!! Everything

[@bravofoxable]

What a car! '71 Cuda's are so rare these days. This is one solid build indeed. And a Hemi!!! One of the best cars ever featured Shawn. That color scheme is spot on. Exceptional car 👍🏻

[@AutotopiaLA]

I think so too. Every choice on design and execution is on point. The only thing I’d change is the name on the title to mine! 😂

[@DJKhrome]

This is ONE BAD ‘CUDA!!! Simplistic, yet every attention to detail is perfect. Excellent job!!

[@AutotopiaLA]

Such exceptional work from Cal Auto…Kent is awesome and this car is amazing

[@thehawk05]

What a beautiful build. Simple, reliable, tasteful and eye catching all at the same time. I love the more exotic builds folks do but I really appreciate cars like this where choices are carefully made to not only look cool but not make you afraid to take it out and lean on it. A car like this could be daily driven if you wanted. Bravo

[@sidefx996]

You make it sound like this is a budget build lol

This one is truly undeniable as a stand out incredible build

[@hockeymann88]

Great stance on that car. The interior is also fantastic. Kudos to the owner for letting you drive it.

[@AutotopiaLA]

[@steviejmes]

[@weekendwarrior556]

Great color combos, very nice car thx again Shawn

[@AutotopiaLA]

I love the color choices too on this build

[@danmyers9372]

Beautiful build, love the color choices and how they retained the chrome bumpers and stainless window trim. It is clearly custom but still looks like a ‘71 Cuda. My big question is how they all but eliminated the characteristically loud blower whine of the Hellcat engine? Have to say I like it, it makes it sound more like a classic muscle car. Well done.

[@AutotopiaLA]

Great question on the whine. It’s there but not as loud as typical

[@INNYAFACCE]

[@impslap7620]

Beautiful. Love the small details like the door handles, the" billboard" area in matte paint, real wood just to name a few that I really enjoyed. The color too!! Bravo for executing such a high-level build but keeping it "simple" on the aesthetics vs going overboard and modernizing it.

[@AutotopiaLA]

Agreed all the way here. Pure class and style in this build

[@motovick]

Perfect restomod! We have the same taste! I Love the fact that you kept lookalike door handles and dash layout, bumpers, no engine covers, etc... Exactly how I would be doing mine if I had the budget except maybe I would have ditch the wood for carbone fiber and white gauges for a sportier look but I get that you wanted more of a classy look, Awsome job!

Loving that originality of this build. The real wood interior the reupholstered OG dash the flat paint accent, the 1 off rims. You Definitely see the passion and patience. So glad the H-cat wasn't gutted, not enough ppl appreciate a stock H-cat engine. Another thing that engine sounds 1000 times better with a 6 speed bolted to it lol Damn!
