bigger disks and different wheels and its perfect

[@jewboy761]

Definitely different wheels. Different tires also

[@threej44]

They don’t work on this. It’s like they just ran out of budget at that point.

[@MrEvilTag]

@@threej44 pretty easy when engine and trans runs 20k

[@8492dino]

Discs*

[@ChristopherTrott]

I agree the disk rotors looked a tad small. Still nice build

[@ChristopherTrott]

I like the dulled out rear quarter. That its black on dull black with the Demon logo. Also the rear window louvers

[@jasonmacneil2256]

It's NOT "dulled out" as you say. Those are called billboard callouts by people that know these cars!!

[@s7en652]

Sweet! 3rd gen 'cuda is my favorite. Fun to watch, more fun to drive

[@bravofoxable]

Fine as frog's hair! What a build, excellent job 👍🏻 'Cuda's are quickly becoming rare metal, friggin cool car, and kick-ass to boot. Supercharger whine mixes well into the looks here. Hooks up like a bat outta hell too. Badass to the bone 👏🏻

[@parismilton6286]

Agreed "cuda whine" I never knew it's what needed until I heard it

[@CJColvin]

Man this is one badass Hellcat powered Cuda brother and I love the name HellCuda.

[@AutotopiaLA]

It is a cool ride

[@nightmareskullz7132]

I just don't like the modern hellcat steering wheel

[@willowwonderbull7100]

im not feeling it also seeing as none of the buttons do anything unless im wrong

[@MrJ183]

So tacky and disrespectful to the cuda

[@DiddyBom]

Fax take that shit out the car

[@jimtom4878]

@@MrJ183 facts

[@dubiousf00d]

The word sinister comes to mind. Badass!

[@AutotopiaLA]

Perfect description

[@CameySaurusRex]

Another killer example of mixing old & new yet making it feel right & look tasteful. 😀👌

[@trevorsanchez2470]

Right? Definitely agreed. This is a very clean resto-mod!

[@sylvaind.6786]

I would not take it if you give it to me. Looks crap and cheap imo

[@darthmaul7428]

Rolling burnout achieved 👌

[@AutotopiaLA]

Easily

[@MOE13576]

Fuck yeah, a hellcat cuda. 1:41 "weight reduction bro" hahaha

[@JaredR1996]

That car is absolutely gorgeous 😍❤️

[@iansharpe8420]

Cool car, I spoke to the owner at QC once. Super cool guy. I agree with the brakes, but that doesn't subtract from the coolness of the car

[@pacozuniga8716]

One of mi first joy rides was a hemi cuda Baddddd to bone Very nice muscle car

[@trevorsanchez2470]

Ever since I laid eyes in one, has always been one of my top favorite old school muscle cars! This is a very clean resto-mod!!

[@benpatsy2076]

As a Brit born in 1964 and I spent 11 years in the States from 1968-79. I can remember so many of these muscle cars that Shawn shows on here. I'd love to see a Gran Torino because my Dad's girlfriend had one in the early 70s and I liked her as well. 😀

[@AutotopiaLA]

Dying to shoot a Torino!!!

[@ariescustom]

Perfect for pursuing The Tall Man across America. (Phantasm fans know)

[@mohamedhadidou3987]

Oh my God , look at this engine wow, power😎

[@user-lx9hv2ys1n]

Holy smoke 😉

[@HD.M5]

707 horse power👍

[@gt5.086]

This car like a diamond

[@vaibhavmamle1997]

Putting 71 cuda parts on a 70 cuda is exactly what I want to do, as the actual 71 models are unaffordable collectors items now (unless its a barn find). Beautiful build, the chrome and matte parts are perfectly balanced

[@AutotopiaLA]

I love what they did with this one

[@barath4545]

Agree I always wanted the bloody front of the 1971 but a I6 slant roller is $50k+ now.

[@emperorabyss7299]

That is one beautiful Cuda!

[@michaelmarks5012]

Nice car! The shifter looks pretty janky though.

[@losthorizonfishing107]

That Cuda is awesome! There is something odd about that rear wing. It could be an optical illusion, but it looks like it is angled to reduce down force instead of increase down force.

[@russj667]

Agreed...it ,at the very, least should be sitting level

[@seanlarson4595]

@AutotopiaLA - this is one of the best cars you've shared with us. I think the '71 grill with the quad headlights is the best one of that generation. I love the 'billboard stripe' - just like the originals! I like the juxtaposition of the black paint with the chrome highlights that the builder kept!

[@AutotopiaLA]

I’m with you on this. And the drive is even better than the looks

[@TheGunfighter45acp]

Nice build!! My jaw dropped when the hood opened. I want it!

[@AutotopiaLA]

Gotta love that swap!

[@sarahpettyYTSUX]

Small rotors, no pistol grip... I'd still want this car! Love the 71 Cuda front grill!!!!... would love to have one built with the Hellephant engine, Massive Brembo brakes and of course the pistol Grip!!!

[@theylive2749]

The wheels and all the srt badges got to go.

[@IronHorseGarage]

Badass, nothing else to say!!!!

[@AutotopiaLA]

Exactly

[@leandrorodrigues2281]

This beast has an awesome roar

[@HotRodHemi]

I was also never much of a vinyl top guy on Cars but I agree for some reason on this Cuda it seems to work😎

[@AutotopiaLA]

It works well on here. I think the satin sets it off

[@fishpony1211]

That mechanical whine is unmatched! Shit i want a supercharger!

[@AutotopiaLA]

So good!!

[@justinm.791]

OH SHIIIIIIIIIIIIIT..... 'Cudas are in the top 3 of my old school muscle car favorites

[@valf.4589]

I agree with you. I am not a vinyl top guy either. Need to see the metal with matching paint color with the rest of the body. I consider vinyl tops as cheap imitation versions of convertibles.

[@AutotopiaLA]

We agree here although with the satin accents it doesn’t bother me much

[@Michael199756]

Should be called "The Cuda from Hell" ;) What a nice car, always been a fan of HemiCuda since NFS Carbon

[@AutotopiaLA]

Perfect name

[@kevinmurphy9982]

Or HellCuda?

[@vanillagorilla8236]

Back in Black !

Shawn laying it down like a domesticated, violent Boss. ;-)

One sweet ride.

Definitely

So good!

Super Sick build!!

[@INNYAFACCE]

this is the ULTIMATE CUDA

[@myronlogan7720]

Pure Monster!

[@AutotopiaLA]

That’s the truth

[@adrianstanciu8876]

Beautiful Badass Barracuda!👏😍

[@Gawddamnatheist1]

Beautiful (& yes It probably needs larger break's)

[@johnbehneman1546]

TOTALLY AWESOME!!!! THANKS FOR SHARING!!!

[@AutotopiaLA]

Yeah, that’s a badass ride

[@skylarembury3712]

I would personally like to see it sit a little lower but it's a pretty sweet build

[@davidbarber2010]

I like the G. M. G. Cauda. That’s old. School. With a hell cat 🐈‍⬛ motor

[@ElBadu]

Bigger brakes, different wheel and it will perfect! Love it regardless

[@AutotopiaLA]

Yes and yes

[@2414kels]

👀👀 I dig everything about this Cuda.

[@AutotopiaLA]

Same here

[@gladmortem2737]

Oh it’s beautiful

[@trevorsanchez2470]

Wow absolutely beautiful build! Very clean resto-mod

[@larrydittler4941]

dude i love that cuda!!!

[@AutotopiaLA]

Me too

[@beardedace9894]

Great ride Well built and style is spot on

[@Chewygsxr]

Awesome Video Dude, action packed, the pulls as they progressed to full throttle was Dope, that engine just whines to no end. The Fiesta Flash 🤙🏼🍺🍺🍺

[@thomserenity5765]

I have been waiting for someone to build that

[@AutotopiaLA]

Here it is...and it’s a blast to drive

[@virtualdent]

That was awesome how you modulated the throttle on the last burn out

[@khalifgreen581]

Beautiful car!

[@Gzus.mobbin]

The hellcuda🤩

[@AutotopiaLA]

HellYES!!

[@RyanSampsonRPh]

Nice!

[@ganjd1148]

Lovely setup but definitely have to agree, visually larger discs would have been the preference

[@marvinscottjr.4310]

Nice mix. Settle and killer power!

[@INNYAFACCE]

707HP "Hell YA CUDA !!!

[@DXFXmc]

Shawn, first time I've seen you a little nervous? Crazy cool Cuda. As always saving the weekend.

[@jasoncarpenter4116]

That looks like a lot of fun, but at full throttle that kick out would make your a-hole pucker changing gears until you get used to it!

[@AutotopiaLA]

Definitely one to work up to. Lots of power and could use more tire imo but still a blast to drive

[@dylantoussaintinnocent5920]

Incredible car great exhaust love the design nice interior 💪🏿

[@trevorsanchez2470]

Right?! Super clean resto-mod!!

[@skitzoid8202]

My dream car definitely

[@01surge24]

Power ✔️triple black ✔️suspension ✔️fn cool✔️

[@binsmokincrazie642]

You went hard on it a few times nore than usual 😂😂 Dude who built it really got that hellcat tamed but still a feakin hellcat for reals when you let it go ... shiz only a manual and this ride over any, anyday

[@AutotopiaLA]

Wish it was manual. It pulls so hard! Fun drive

[@rbszx14r56]

Cool car they did a great job on this , i like it. Looks like it pulls hard

[@AutotopiaLA]

It pulls really hard!

[@ProudPapaw88]

Great video. Thanks for sharing.

[@AutotopiaLA]

Thank you! Glad you enjoyed it

[@JordonPatrickMears11211988]

Let's see it at the track

[@Tr1Hard777]

If I had a million dollars I'd buy this today.

[@rubensalazar5194]

Sick! This is how I would do a cuda

[@AutotopiaLA]

Love the Hellcat swap

[@slackjaw703]

I absolutely love everything about this car but the scoop & steering wheel & maybe the chrome trim. Still I don’t hate those either, it’s just a design choice I’d probably have not made, but I love the interior (I too would’ve loved the pistol grip shifter). It’s just a bad ass car, I’m being super picky, because I would kill to,own that car as is. So cool!

[@slackjaw703]

@Steve Miller I think I would’ve gone with a black chrome instead of the straight chrome. Make it a black beast. Then you’ve got the best of both worlds.

[@brucebanter-theincrediblej7927]

I saw this car at the Quarantine Cruise last Sunday, how come the owner didn’t showcase his car? Sounds deadlier in person!! Beast

[@AutotopiaLA]

He was too busy so asked me to shoot without him. Great car...pulls really hard

[@rajnbull]

Shawn, it must have been a huge pain in the ass to get that motor in there it looks tight! Great vid

[@AutotopiaLA]

Really tight but it sure works well in here

[@jb2oldies69]

Nice cuda 👍

[@mannyllamas4119]

Such a badass ride 🙌🏽🔥

[@AutotopiaLA]

I think so too

[@C.S.86]

This is my absolute DREAMBUILD! there is no car in the world i love more

[@ahmadazizi6907]

Awesome!!!!!

[@dashriprock2916]

Wish they would show more detail about the build. Cool car.

[@AutotopiaLA]

[@AutotopiaLA]

Yeah, very cool ride

[@gnarlytothemax]

[@AutotopiaLA]

Cool ride

[@jsm42050]

Is he trying to make lift instead of downforce with that wing 😂

[@AutotopiaLA]

😂

[@JonasRosenven]

It's the new alternative way of making cars lighter!

[@my95buick]

Like it's aerodynamic lol

[@craigm2484]

I FN love this car best of both worlds old n new and almost spit my coffee out when you said yes you guys look alike funny shit .

[@AutotopiaLA]

We had a blast shooting this. Always fun to get Kyle in a video

[@matt_1969ChevyC1o]

I'm just here to watch how many different ways people spell "brakes"

[@gagem7005]

Cuda’s are starting to grow on me more and more. Love it, just wish it was an NA build. Seems like an all engine powered car. Still phenomenal

[@jamesjackalone2391]

Amazing! That chrome on the wheel wells makes it look cheap/auto zone special though.

[@edenland2961]

What a car, like damn 😏

[@JJD-9403]

Sick!!!!

[@edwardremy1382]

Yea you visit my favorite cars wow lucky you

Ohhhhh barracuda

[@AutotopiaLA]

That’s right!

[@dakotalenzi7630]

Cut some corners in a few places cosmetic wise in the inside but it’s this would be a sick daily can’t lie haha

[@ethankc2864]

Only things I'd change is I'd have put pistol grip shifter and def put a wood steering wheel on it. Love it tho great build

[@AutotopiaLA]

Would love a pistol grip manual in here!

[@jeancharlesrabaux5658]

Houaaa y love it sure

[@AutotopiaLA]

This thing is awesome!!

[@ronaldcoleman9455]

Love this car! Hate the roof. I like bare metal roof. It takes away from the car.

[@AutotopiaLA]

I do too but it kinda works with that satin accents

[@Bob-ww7ot]

Insane car!!!!!🙂

[@XAPAN88]

Cuda is my dream car! That’s it! And this project is so good that I love it...I would actualy like if it’s a pistol grip manual...and old school steering wheel...but hey...another thing do-WHERE DO YOU FIND THIS CARS DUUDEE...c’mon...

[@XAPAN88]

[@AutotopiaLA]

Pistol grip manual would be awesome!!
