Mopar guys could not go wrong in 1970...The Cuda, Challenger, Duster, Dart, Demon, GTX, Road Runner, Chrysler 300 Hurst, Sport Fury GT, Charger R/T and of course the Super Bee...
I’m a ‘Cuda guy ! Never owned one , always wanted one ! I did have a ‘70 with a 225 slant six special ( I don’t know ) that would outrun the small block , 2 barrel , Nova’s and Mustangs . Not a fast car . I also owned a ‘73 with a pumped up 318 and a shift kit that I could get a little something out of too . Finally ! I just bought a 2023 Dodge Challenger Hellcat Jailbreak , and I only had to save up for 65 years .

If I had the foresight to purchase a Red with black vinyl top 4 speed Hemi Cuda in 1970, then park it in a conditioned space, it would be worth more than everything I have made and accumulated since. If he's still taking orders I will not delay this time.

Same here.... The '70 has gorgeous lines. I can't stand the '71 - especially the grill with the dual headlamps. But I actually like the '70-'71 Challenger even more.
At this time I was about 14 years old. And i was actually scared of this car from the story's and reputation this car had on the street. Then I saw the 4 speed stick and thought what car manufacturer would put such a menacing looking stick shift in it. I was truly scared...love that car!
@@robertlee9395 you and me both.. hahaha.. not yet, she's a Slant6 car that now has a 318, my hope is a 408 stroker and just Keep saying it's the same old 318..
It's amazing to admit I was a teenager when these came out. I didn't have a prayer of buying one. Now I have a choice...I could afford a Hemi Cuda or retirement......retirement is the uncontested winner.
yeah, I'd buy every 426 option they had and retire like a king. One sold at Mecums for 3.5 million a while back. It's on TH-cam. World record for a muscle car at the time
Do you guys consider a 318 V8 Barracuda from 1974 a bad Cuda, or is it still good? Was thinking of getting one, and I'm 20. That being said I can tell these are obviously way more expensive than they were back in the 70s when high schoolers could apparently get their hands on them.
If you can afford to get it, definitely get it. You can get a 4" stroker kit from Hughes Engines or Summit or any number of places. Bore that 318 out by 0.040" to 3.950" and you'll have a *392 WEDGE.* Make sure you have at least an 8 3/4 rear end, you will want 3.55 gears and something a little more modern than those Goodyear Polyglass tires of the 1970's. I'm running Mickey Thompsons on both my '68 Barracuda, and my '16 Charger.
I had a 1971 Barracuda picked it up for free , it was headed to the junkyard, only thing was wrong the coil shorted out it was a cool car , drove it until. K frame mountings broke then I parted it out
Got my 71 barracuda for free too from a lady near me that wanted it to go to a great home but didnt want to sell it. 318 curious yellow black top and interior no power anything or air. A lucky surviver.
That is what I heard. Numbers matching original! Let’s see...6000 dollars in 1970, 3.5million in 2019. Better than Microsoft stock when it first went public!!!
I can not imagine , as a teenager at that time , going to a dealership and trying to buy a stick shift Cuda with the 426 CID hemi engine. At age 17 then, I doubt they would have sold a car like that to a new and young driver.
Hmmmm.... I'm not sure what paint color the main featured car represents, but as I recall, a painted shaker scoop was only available in red. And, those shots of the console are clearly showing a 1971 shifter in a '70 model car... not unheard of late in the production run, but I don't think it'd be on an early model like they are trying to represent.
@Donkey CaCa Yessss: unless painted red, they came in argent/silver or black, and though we see more silver than black, both are correct for 1970. As I understand it, shakers that were painted any other colors were not factory original. Some dealers did paint them at the buyer's request.
As I recall, late in the 1970 model production run they ran out of Challenger shaker hoods. In the Spring of '70 this machinist guy who worked next to me in Ballard, ordered a (black(?)) 70 HEMIcuda and he said it came with the T/A fiberglas hood as a substitution. He and his partner, tore the brand-new car apart to go ProStock(?) racing. The only reason I met him, then, is because he saw my new AAR Cuda.
Had a 70 challenger years ago but liked the cuda more. Mine only had a 318 but a stock hurst t shifter. Threw headers, intake and 4 barrel so she went pretty good, keystones Ann spring with 60s front and 70s rear.
Hahaha, I have a similar sales film. I think mine is an earlier, more general info film. My son found it left in a closet in an apartment. It was a really old 8mm film, which I had transcribed to a digital format. The color is kind of wonky, like this film, but maybe a little worse.
I thought all 70 e-bodies had the round knob slap stik shifter. My 70 Gran Coup did. Still have it... The shifter, not the car. Another foolish mistake I made long ago.
That was my experience for Plymouth E-bodies, also. The T-handle was a Dodge E-body thing. A few years later, all you could get from the DPC Parts Dept. was the t-handle.
