Glad to see you adding magazine adds to your video's Steve ... its what sets you above the rest and brings a taste of Americana to your tales. Also love it when you bring along 1/25th scale examples.
Merry Christmas 🎄🎁 to Steve and all of his fans. That is a beautiful specimen of a Cuda. I was a Ford guy, but appreciated all of the cars from the other manufacturers (including AMC) who I miss very much. The 70~74 Barracudas were so cool 😎 and Plymouth made the most of it. 340’s, 383’s, 440’s and the legendary 426 had outstanding performance. Even the 318’s were fun.
Steve! You and I are on the same recovery schedule so it seems. I had a rough 23 too! Our recoveries are cooking along. You look really good man. Leaps and bounds from last year!
@@YS-fr6nu Yes, only chrome bumpers for me. I noticed while watching the Jay Leno's garage episode featuring Richard Carpenter's 1970 Cuda that it has a black bumper on the front, and a chrome one on the rear, I think that's a bit odd.
Steve, I gotta ask, been watching old Barrett Jackson auctions and I've noticed that a lot of these very expensive cars have a tail light bulb blew out, you see them going across the block, and a simple thing like a blew bulb kinda ruins the look of them, am I the only one that sees this?
From owning Chrysler's of that era ( and it will be the same for the other brands) , what you perceive to be a blown bulb , can often be the metal bulb socket not making a good ground contact with the metal taillight/blinker housing . Every now and then you have to give the mating surfaces a bit of wire brushing to restore the grounding .
Hey Steve-O, quite simply another great review. BTW - by the previous owner making those "conversions" to a '71 'Cuda how much value is LOST on this Plymouth due to it's inauthenticity ?!? Many Thanks Yo ! 🚘🔍. - 🚫 💸💵💸 🚫 - 🤔
Correct, 1970 model year (with a 1971 front end as noted) with the VIN for the win: B for Plymouth Barracuda, S for Special price class, 23 for two door hardtop, V for 440 CID V8 with three two barrel carburetors, aka "Lightning in a Bottle", 0 for 1970 model year, B for Hamtramck, MI assembly aka "Dodge Main", aka "Factory Zero" aka "D-Ham" and the rest is the production sequence. The Dodge Main/Hamtramck Assembly plant operated from 1911 to 1980 and today's GM Detroit/Hamtramck assembly sits on part of the old site. No tag, can't brag, but possibly E5 Rally Red exterior paint.
I remember when my dad bought a 75 chevy pickup with power steering. I was embarrassed, thought it was a ladies truck. Everything I drove before that was manual everything. Then I got my first car, a 69 lesabre, got over it. Power steering is OK
I love that body style, but not a fan of the flat black paint on the rear side, or that chintzy looking spoiler that looks like it came off a Honda Civic ricemobile. .
the only xmas present i needed is to see Steve back on his feet and making videos.

Thank you Steve - Merry Christmas
That is almost exactly how i would build/option a cuda. Glad for the video steve and merry Christmas
Santa’s sleigh!
where did the windshield wipers go ?
That car will never be driven in the rain. Probably hardly ever driven but the wiper arms are missing everything else appears to be there
Merry merry Christmas
What a great video, but I still prefer the chrome front and rear bumpers
@@YS-fr6nu Yes, only chrome bumpers for me. I noticed while
watching the Jay Leno's garage episode featuring Richard Carpenter's 1970 Cuda that it has a black bumper on the front, and a chrome one on the rear, I think that's a bit odd.
@ I would have that fixed right away lol

It’s funny you mention that….. I see that quite a bit drives me crazy, how hard is it to change the rear brake light that’s burned out
I myself have seen this also on many car shows.

Hey man, original MEANS original😂😂😂
If only to win a big lottery, you could walk in and say how much.
Why does the video call the car a '71 when it's actually a '70?

A ton is lost...wish this guy would show cars without huge issues - just another flipper place.

I imagine you can’t drive a shaker hood car in the rain
I had a 70 nova with Manila steering and it was brutal to parallel park
Now, soneone is going to spend another $100k restoring it back to the correct 1970 look and parts to increaae value....lol.
Yeah, but how are you going to fit that under my tree Steve?
I remember when my dad bought a 75 chevy pickup with power steering. I was embarrassed, thought it was a ladies truck. Everything I drove before that was manual everything. Then I got my first car, a 69 lesabre, got over it. Power steering is OK
wrong tires
Wrong everything...lol
Interesting that Chrysler only used the four headlights in 1971. Maybe it made the car resemble a Challenger too much.
That car has no wipers on it
For a $120,000 you want wipers too.
There is a large gap between the edge of the hood and the windshield the wiper blades actually tuck underneath the hood
@@SteveloefflerTrue, but if you look at 2:09 you will see that there are no wiper arms or blades.

I say to my wife all the time. That guy just paid $$$ and the tail light is out. Been saying that for years!!!! What gives???
