Nice video, you did the rear wheel cylinder, what about the front calipers along with the Master Cylinder? No one addressed the Transmission Fluid and change the filter, also the the Rear End Fluid, the exhaust is good--probably not!!! So much you missed, or is this TV...
Im so glad to see Daniel on a show! He is not your average"car show host". Dude knows his way around a machine shop, and the inside and out of an engine that your average mechanics just have no idea about. And you do not learn it by watching UA-cam videos, or even reading. Well yes some reading, but mostly being mentored by a master.
The last 1970 Hemicuda built had a black hood scoop instead of grey. It was built on the last day the plant was open for the 1970 production year and they were out of the grey ones and the black ones had come in so, they used a black one.
With Mr. Stephens money, why does he need a Driveway Rescue, he has plenty of people working for him that can do the job. This is like Chip Foose rebulding John Force's school bus, just for the Overhauling show!!!!!!
My sediments exactly. The money he has made selling Mopar parts, he could have a complete restoration done 10 times over. Other than involving a vintage Hemi, a waste of funds that could help someone more in need.
It’s funny when you call there for a part they don’t give any brakes on pricing so you know he’s not paying it forward AMD rebuilt the whole Daytona he had in his yard
Back in 1973 my two buddies and I were going to buy a Hemi 4 speed Cuda to race in Super Stock. The seller was asking $2,100 at the time (gas crisis) and we agreed on $1,800! Each of us needed $600 to own a piece of that baby! Sadly one guy bailed and myself and the other guy couldn't afford to build the car ourselves.😢 We already each were racing our 340 Super Stock Demons and a Dart. What a mistake that was letting that Hemi get away! 3.55 Dana rear and perfect shape! About 20K on the odometer I believe? Love to turn back the clock 48 years!😀
turn back the clock to what? These were crappy cars, the 440-6 was only 325 net horsepower and 426 only 350......any 2022 sedan with 5.7 would blow them off the road today....
I watched one of their episodes where they took the whole front end off the car from the frame and then replaced it with an aftermarket using the same 30 year old frame bolts to put it back in place. Everyone knows that once they're torqued they've been stretched. Not to mention 30 year old degradation and metal fatigue. Saved a whole $10. One would think that's not the place to cut corners. These guys are just a little too "contrived" for me to watch very long. You wouldn't talk to your friends they way they present to the audience. C'mon man! We're all car guys. Lighten up and be natural.
SO SAD TO SEE SUCH A CAR JUST SITTING AND NOT BEING ENJOYED BECOUSE OWNER IS (TO BUSY TO DRIVE IT) A REAL CAR GUY WOULD NEVER DO SUCH A THING TO A BEAUTFUL CAR ITS LIKE HAVEING A SUPER HOT WIFE AND NEVER TOUCHING HER
Exactly! How can’t you find a half hour a week to drive that? Drive it to your busy job(s). Drive it to the hardware store. Drive it when you go out to eat...just DRIVE it!

Here’s a trick for you guys that no one seems to do when you put the carb back on after a rebuild just before you go to start it use the vent tube to fill the bowl on the carb so you don’t have to wait on the fuel pump to get fuel up there especially on a system the hasn’t had fuel in it for years like this one that you put the new pump on too
A good friend of mine used to work at a local mom and pop garage. They did body repair. Engine repair. Oil changes. Stuff like that. Anyway,....the garage had quite a large clientele. One of which would bring his gorgeous black Hemi Cuda in every 5000 miles for oil change, plugs, plug wire, and tune-up. My good buddy had never worked on a Hemi before. So he calls me about the best way to go about changing the plugs.🤣🤣🤣So I tell him. Next thing I know,....he is pulling up in my driveway with a sad and dejected look on his face. He cross threaded 3 of the 8 spark plugs in that Hemi.🤨 I was completely floored that he had managed this. And to this day,.....he won't even look at a Hemi anything.
Re the brake reassembly: my old man was an engineer at Bendix his whole working life and back in the day - before cellphones - his common sense advice was “do one side at a time so if you aren’t sure, you cab go look at the other one.”
Two rednevk's in Genoa, Ohio had a 1970 Hemi Cuda around the early 90's. I have been trying to locate where these guys live. I hope someone has rescued that car by now, but my curiosity, and just cause I love to cruise, I will keep looking.
"A lot of modern mechanics haven't even ever worked on this type of stuff because it's such old school technology".......me working on my 1998 civic DX rear drum brake ) :
Cool car but when I was street racing back in the 80' and 90's in California a Hemi Cuda was No big deal. I ran a 10 second 67 468 BB Camaro. After 100's of street races only 2 losses, a 440 Dart and a 440 Roadrunner. Both had less horsepower but they hooked like they were at the track.
In los angeles late-60s my brother in law ran a modified ac cobra 427 with racemasters on the street he said those hemis were no match, he had more work running souped-up Willis coupes.
Are you supposed to retain the crush washers on the plugs on that hemi? I've seen otherwise because of the tube they are inserted through acts as a washer as well.
These cars were designed to drive, not be stored for years on end. I've owned a number of Mopar Muscle Cars from the 60s and 70s, and all were daily drivers, as they should be.
Oh, just seeing this one hurts..... I had a '70 Hemi Challenger. The key word is HAD. What happened to it, you may ask? Well, let me give you guys some advice: If you own a -'70 Hemi car, do not, and I repeat, DO NOT....get a divorce.

Glad to see a Hemi Cuda rescue. However, it seems the owner has other cars sitting in a large garage. He makes enough money to make such investments, but too cheap to maintain the vehicles he owns? He is a business owner, obviously a fairly successful business! He has the means to rescue his own car. There are more people struggling to make ends meet with a vehicle that needs maintenance they can't afford!
12:37 Are you looking down, at why that carb is hanging by a moment in the edge of that table? Just waiting to be knocked off by a eager misguided hand? 😂😂 Yeah, I was too 👍🏻
Anyone else wondering if the intro animation scene is based on Special Stage Route 5 from Gran Turismo? Particularly the upward right turn at 21 seconds, where it goes onto the main straight and then you have the view of the city skyline.
Not enough time? Yeah right. Dude you could at least drive it for 30 minutes maybe every two weeks or so even if it's just thru the neighborhood. I would if I owned it and worked a lot. I would drive it to pick up lunch when I take a few minutes to eat while working, that way the car gets some exercise. There's always some way to get it moving.
Never ever put a poppet style thermostat into a big block Chrysler. Use the balanced sleeve thermostat. It flows better it controls the flow better, and I've yet to see one fail. I don't know who last put spark plugs in that engine. They didn't take the gasket off the bottom of the plugs. When you have those drool tubes that you're putting those plugs into the you are not supposed to put the gasket on the plug.
Pretty sure the reason 1 carb is missing the choke is they only had and needed the choke on 1 carb not the second one , same with the 6 pack, it was only on middle carb
One thing I saw that doesn`t look right, I believe the washers should be removed from the spark plugs before installing, they will destroy the bottom of the plug tubes in the valve covers. Love the old Hemi. If I`m wrong, let me know.
I raced a hemi car for 8-10 years. Never took off the plug washers. Uncle tony is worried about ruining the plug tubes that cost 100.00 on a 45 000.motor. 13.00 to 1 motors need to seal up. He is the first person that I ever heard of taking off the sparkplug washers. On Barton's dyno we changed plugs twice,he never said oh boy you should take these off cause they will ruin your tubes. Barton and vanke,who built my first motor,have forgotten more than tony ever knew about making power with a hemi.
No excuse not to drive it. You still have to go to work. Sometimes you need to go to the post office for stamps and such. You can always find an excuse to drive. I just drove 532 miles getting the Corvette out after winter slumber just to get an new pair of bath slippers. You need to find the reasons to drive.
Man, when your busy running your business and running errands all you need is a vehicle to get you from A to B. To drive a car like this around daily especially while working would be a pain in the ass. You are constantly having to be prepared and worried about something breaking or someone bumping into or crashing into your car and if anything goes wrong which eventually will happen your whole schedule for the day is screwed. Its a fun car for the weekend or just to cruise in but when your mind is set on working or doing something important car troubles are the last thing you want to deal with. You also gotta remember that this is a 6 figure car so if someone opens their door into the side of your car and wrinkles a door or quarter panel that could easily cost a few grand to fix this isnt just a 2 thousand dollar disposable import car this is a rare and almost irreplaceable collectors car.
@@briang4470 Start small. You're running a business which means you're used to getting up earlier than everyone else. Tomorrow morning get in the car at 3 to 4 AM go to a 24 hour gas station and get some coffee and donuts. The coffee may be a bit stale at that hour but whatever. On the other hand in my area (SE Wisconsin) they restock the donuts every day at about 1AM so they are nice and fresh There will be little traffic so you won't have to share the road as much with the typical shitwits you find during the day driving slow in the fast lanes. You can have it all to yourself essentially. Get far out of town. Small towns in the country are the best for a good destination. Often there will be no one at all in the parking lot of the gas station so door dings are nothing to worry about. Use an on ramp to the freeway once everything is up to temp and let the engine breath. Once you get home you will be very energized and most likely more productive that say. Repeat once every two weeks for best results. I know the feeling about trying to keep your car as pristine as possible but just look at all the expense you went thru to get it back on the road just from sitting. Give it a try. Let me know how it goes.
The man owns the largest Mopar salvage yard in America. They've bought cars and rare parts from Mr. Stephen's over the year. ALL of the serious Mopar people buy stuff from him cuz he has the knowledge and the hard to find stuff. So before you go yapping your gums, do some research; you might learn yourself something...
@@coltneedham7271 He isn't trying to be Jay Leno. Hell, Jay Leno buys parts from him to upkeep his own Mopars dumbass including his prized 70 HEMI Challenger. Mr. Stephen has MULTIPLE HEMI cars and just regular Mopars that are show worthy and auction worthy. Like the man said, he's busy. When you have as many cars as he does some get put on the back burner. You act like the damn car is just a complete pile. It's a damn good survivor. So like I said, do your research before you start flapping your gums...

@@briang4470 Start small. You're running a business which means you're used to getting up earlier than everyone else. Tomorrow morning get in the car at 3 to 4 AM go to a 24 hour gas station and get some coffee and donuts. The coffee may be a bit stale at that hour but whatever. On the other hand in my area (SE Wisconsin) they restock the donuts every day at about 1AM so they are nice and fresh There will be little traffic so you won't have to share the road as much with the typical shitwits you find during the day driving slow in the fast lanes. You can have it all to yourself essentially. Get far out of town. Small towns in the country are the best for a good destination. Often there will be no one at all in the parking lot of the gas station so door dings are nothing to worry about. Use an on ramp to the freeway once everything is up to temp and let the engine breath. Once you get home you will be very energized and most likely more productive that say. Repeat once every two weeks for best results. I know the feeling about trying to keep your car as pristine as possible but just look at all the expense you went thru to get it back on the road just from sitting. Give it a try. Let me know how it goes.
what a rare unicorn. Well i and bank is happy with the 73 318 barracuda. wouldnt have the dollars for one of those... 😳
NO "Driveway Rescue" You bought from Ted Stephens. You paid a Pretty Penny.....
I bought my 72 cuda for $3300 in 1972. Wished I still had it.
So they didn't pull the tank?
If he dont care more than that about it I wouldn't waste my time with him
The man owns the largest Mopar salvage yard in America. They've bought cars and rare parts from Mr. Stephen's over the year. ALL of the serious Mopar people buy stuff from him cuz he has the knowledge and the hard to find stuff. So before you go yapping your gums, do some research; you might learn yourself something...
@@AutoYoung and if you cant keep shit up why have it. Yap that
Jay Leno he aint
@@coltneedham7271
He isn't trying to be Jay Leno. Hell, Jay Leno buys parts from him to upkeep his own Mopars dumbass including his prized 70 HEMI Challenger. Mr. Stephen has MULTIPLE HEMI cars and just regular Mopars that are show worthy and auction worthy. Like the man said, he's busy. When you have as many cars as he does some get put on the back burner. You act like the damn car is just a complete pile. It's a damn good survivor. So like I said, do your research before you start flapping your gums...
Well he keeps his cars like his business. Junk
@@king0cans
You see one car and you're talking shit. One car that's worth right under $100k in it's current condition and you're talking shit? Lol. Y'all are HILARIOUS!!!
Nice!
Boshears kicks ass!
And put the same 15 year old air filter back on... that’s the trick.
