  • Purchased as a gutted out race car, Rick has transformed the 1971 Plymouth Cuda into 8-second street legal beast. Read the full story here: bit.ly/SwaggarCuda
    We have featured several of the Hardee family Mopars, but this street legal 1971 Plymouth Cuda is definitely my personal favorite. Although, it wasn't exactly the car Rick was looking for, his wife Sharma talked him into buying it and there are no regrets.
    Rick did a lot of changes to the 1971 Plymouth Cuda to make it street legal and threw a 9 to 1 compression World Block 440 engine in it. A 4.5 stroke with a 4.5 bore punched it out to 572 and the motor makes 900 horsepower running on pump gas.
    While the 1971 Plymouth Cuda runs 8-second 1/4 mile with the current set up and the engine has more potential, Rick already brought home a new powerplant for the street legal Mopar. He will be aiming for 7's in 2021 and we wish him all the best.

    I couldn't wait to see another great Mopar beast. That's an impressive and fantastic Fish with the "King Kong" under the hood! Incredibly powerful! Thanks so much, Danny and all the best in 2021.

      And Rick didn't reach its full potential at the time we did the story on his car

    Its a badass ride but before he puts that new engine in it he better get it to launch straight, it pulled to the left every time he left the line.

    • @HotAmericanCars
      @HotAmericanCars  3 роки тому

      Not sure if you saw the article, but anyway....as Rick shared the car still needs adjustments. Trust me, he will get this fish going straight like it's on rails. Glad you enjoyed the video

    I really like mopars but in your case you better get that cuda to run a straight line before you drop in that blower motor.

    Nice color combo, hard running: I’d bump up the compression to 10:1, with all those cubes, it would REALLY stomp!!!!

    Badass car for sure! Nice color combo.
    Whoever is doing the video editing needs to hold the camera still especially at the end of the clip when it shows the ET (and you can't read it)
    .... Also the lettering at the beginning that describes the engine is almost unreadable.
    Please view this for yourself before you display it for others; it's almost unreadable

    • @HotAmericanCars

      Hey Lance,
      Glad you enjoyed Rick's Cuda and thanks for the feedback. We do the all the editing, but with videos provided by the car owners. As for the engine description lettering, note taken. BTW, if you flip your phone sideways you'll be able to read the text easier.

    70- 71 That grill My best friend high school 70 340 six pack with pistol grip. #matching car. In two months after getting the car. It had 440 in it. If he just left that car alone stored it. What it would be worth today. ?

    • @HotAmericanCars
      @HotAmericanCars  3 роки тому

      Probably a lot if it was a numbers matching car, but still not as musch as original 440 or a 426 HEMI cars

      @@HotAmericanCars Yes. But the first day I seen the car. All OEM. Except B F Goodrich for shoes. Black hardtop Black interior. Ect. He sold the car. 6 Years later. Were screwing around driving in 68 Dart GT 340 Auto Green white interior. OG 340 gone had 318 Jeff says. The guy I sold the cuda lives in these Apt just up the street want to check it out. I said . Your driving the bus. Were in this Big Apartment complex. In the fastest darkest corner. Of the parking spots. There it was. Brown primer 4 sp. gone Auto BM shifter. Interior about the same. Jeff knocks on his door. Find out 440 spun berring. Jeff traded the Dart for the Cuda. Made the swap few days later. You Mopar Freaks.

    Does anyone know what rear tires he is running on tbe Street. I keep getting ticketed for my Good year Slicks but can't find similar size rear that works as good as my slicks do and if it rains while I have the car out....im parked till it drys off enough to drive it home very carefully or have the Pickup and Trailer follow me everyplace in case ...and that sucks. I burn thru Mickey Thompsons like a hot knife thru butter so thats too expensive...what I need is like old fashioned "cheater Slicks" that have a few grooves in them to be street legal but also still a good slick.
    Any Ideas would be appreciated.
