    when I was a 14 or 15 Y/o young sprout i use to walk to school and everyday had to walk through what at the time was the worlds largest Corvette dealer back in 1970 or '71. Well one morning on my daily hike i was stopped dead in my tracks at that dealer by what turned out to be a Plum Crazy purple AAR that must have been traded in for a 'vette sitting on that dealers lot. Didn't know what it was but I made a pact with myself that day that when i got old enough to drive that was the car I was going to buy...whatever it was. Fast forward to June 1973...17 Y/O...2 weeks before I graduate high school... and while out in the garage working on my dirt bike my sister come home from her job and tells me there is one of those cars with the dotted line stripe on it for sale at the Ford dealer in the next town away so I grabbed my savings of $200 and hopped into my sister's hand me down '63 Ford Fairlane 4 door and floored her all the way to that dealer. There she was up on a special stand for stand out cars to be seen...my very first car. $2200.00 48,000 miles. Red, automatic. Absolutely THE most beautiful car that I have ever seen. I put my money down, my grandmother cosigned for the loan the next day and I worked my ass off to make the $79.80 payment for the next 3 years. But I did...and even after getting married, buying a house, raising 2 sons, and going through a divorce...that car still sits in my garage...ABSOLUTELY even more beautiful now than 90% of all the other cars in the world old or new.......

      most beautiful car ever made, i had a similar story with a red one, but never had the luck to find mine or the ability to justify or pay for one until much later in life, but the first 09 tor-red automatic srt chally to make it to my state is still sitting in my driveway, the hood stripes need replacing from being a daily for a few years and will be removing them and either painting the hood or wrapping it to match the aar look

    A friend of mine back in the early 80's bought a Cuda AAR in Peterborough Ontario for 5,000.00 back then. It was hit by a drunk driver about 1 and half years later. And wrote off. It was Black and Gold trim, 340 6 and 4 speed pistol. God I loved that car. I could only imagine the worth today.
    I have another friend who owned a 1969 Hemi Charger here in Toronto. He bought that car with 17,000 original miles for 8900.00 back in 1987, He still owns that Hemi and it now has 25,000 and worth 125,000

    Yeah, they used to do all sorts of things to lighten those cars up for racing. Someone just mentioned the other day that they wiped the metal down with acid to thin the metal before they painted them.

    A guy I recently met claimed to have an AAR Cuda that he bought new in 1970, after graduating H.S. Said the car was in great shape, low miles, never repainted. Told me he would show it to me someday, and maybe consider selling it. Then he told me about the matching #'s, original Hemi it came with. Can any of you guess what I said next?

    • @orgami100

    This same thought is why I love 442s and GS-455s. Beautiful cars with ridiculous factory power, especially torque in Olds and Buicks case, and its something you can drive to a car show and be the only one there with one rather than a Chevelle or Camaro where there will be 6 or 9 others. Even GTOs have gotten too common for my taste recently

    • @vincentwiles8410
      @vincentwiles8410 5 років тому

      The AAR only came with a specially built 340 with the 6-pack set up. and different suspension,exhaust etc. So it could compete in the trans am racing series just like the T/A challenger only in 1970 and a hemi or any other engine wouldn't be allowed in that series. I had a 70 AAR Cuda and it could outrun my 68 charger R/T with a 440.

    'Cuda is abslolutely one of the best looking car of all times!!! (Matter of taste of course) But I don't understand what is so chilling of manual transmission!! Automatic is always faster!!! You should know it; you are americans!!!! We in Europe are paddling with stupid manual transmission and it is nothing else, but nuisance!!! Fortunately europeans have finally taught to build automatics too. About 90 years after, that was in common use in America.

  • @jeffreyb6165
    @jeffreyb6165 4 роки тому

    First thing id do is take those pipes coming out each side and retire them immediately! A Cuda restoration wouldn't be complete without the exhaust tips coming out of the rear valance panel. The exhaust setup is an integral part of this classic that lends to its bada$$ appearance.
    Of course this is just my opinion, and you know what they say about opinions. 😃

      I don't think those are painted. Urethane covered bumpers were an extra cost option. Pretty rare on any Cuda, especially front AND rear. Even rarer on AAR/TA cars.
