Andy Boone In Dan Gurney's AAR Cuda At Road America

[@rocketman63]

What a vicious-sounding LA engine! I love it!!

[@michaelhurley545]

That destroked 340 runs then down on the straight aways...

[@tyhighway2127]

It truly is historic to see MOPAR enter a new car & a new engine to run against the "OVER-REFINED" and RIPE Chevy's & Ford's. It really was not fair to handicap those awesome Dodge & Plymouth cars as the sound of these engines is far superior to the Ford's & Chevy's. Brilliant Chrysler just incredible & awe-inspiring.

Sweet.

that little 303 sounds viscous

Great video! I would like to see a view laps around the Lime Rock Trans-am track if it's available! I own a Burnt Orange AAR produced a day before my birthday March 12, 1970 #275444

[@rmhdsn284]

Lime Rock is GREAT FUN. My first new car was a Burnt Orange '70 'CUDA 340-4 speed, took delivery in Dec '69.

[@andrewp1998]

lucky you

[@toyman81]

What is the small red shifter next to the regular 4 speed shifter?

[@rmhdsn284]

Most likely a reverse lockout or the reverse shifter itself, depending on how it's built.

[@ProfessorIgor]

he is geared too short for a track so gigantic. It;s obvious he takes no chances with this car, and he shouldn't... there's only TWO of these things on the planet.

[@bultacowally]

gotta be honest...the ONLY thing I remember hearing about back in those days...seeing that I didn't really follow Trans Am racing much was more of a stock car guy...was Mark Donahue and Javelins winning, winning, winning. I had never heard of MOPAR Trans Am drivers Dan Gurney or Sam Posey until I bought my AAR and learned the history of the cars. Guess they were not real competitive thus Chrysler's quick departure from the sport.

[@josevelez2004]

what type the transmission you have in that cuda

[@60viking]

As far as i remember its the stock 4 sp. But i can be wrong I've driven Dans cars at Chrysler. The incredibly radical 305 was to hard to drive or steer around the complex. I was vary new there and nobody knew i could drive, i crawled in after the last driver gave up and drove off like it was a normal street car, (with a broken power steering pump) that open the door for me to drive everything we had. My honorable discharge got me the best job ever.

[@josevelez2004]

@@60viking and you still have that car today?

[@quiklids]

Mustang went in a little too hot! 😄

[@charlessmileyvideos]

How did we ever lose car sales to those Toyota clowns with their sign on that bridge? Ever driven a 1970 Toyota? Ugh!

[@procor2010]

It had plenty more RPMs those motors can handle 10,000
