That car (in my opinion) has the perfect stance, wheels, hood, attitude etc. So badass and it really really good condition. What an excellent & rare find. Thanks for sharing this video! And also keeping us up to date with Gentle Ben as that is also appreciated. Really like the channel!

Thanks for the kind words man, we agree the car is nice enough I told my buddy while we were hauling it home we can’t call it another raggedy ole Plymouth. I hope people will enjoy once we start getting it back out to the track!

Unfortunately according to his Daughter he passed around 18 years ago, his son just recently passed and that’s how we were able to acquire the Cuda.

71 grille but looks like it started life as a barracuda Gran Coupe. The Dana 60 rear end should be super strong. I never broke the one I had in my 70 Cuda 440+6 4 speed.
@BackWoodsPerformance678 ай бұрын
It’s not a 71 it’s a 70 Gran Coupe we discuss that in the video We refer to it either as the Cuda, Grandpa, or Grump Grandpa.
