    The 1971 'Cuda is my dream car and, in my humble opinion, is the best looking of the lot!

    The Cuda and Challenger were some of the best looking cars ever made. Especially the convertibles.

    Plymouth called their three, two barrel carb setup the Six Barrel. Six Pack (or Six Pak) was the Dodge term.

    Just the type of color I would've ordered. Doesn't draw too much unwanted attention from the cops. Awesome ride. 1971 was the last hurrah for Mopar building high compression muscle cars. It was all downhill after that until pretty recently

    I had a Tawney gold 71 Dodge Demon 340 back in 72 and that color really sucked in the daylight but came off as a weird green under lights at night.
    Looks good on the cuda with the billboard to cover some of that brown up.Awesome cuda.

    Very cool car and as usual an excellent video! One option I've never understood is the luggage rack. Tons of them were installed on C-3 Corvettes. Has anyone ever seen one with suitcases strapped to it? I haven't! I think it detracts from the otherwise fantastic looks of this car. A Go Wing would look great!

    I may be wrong but, didn't Mike Conners drive a '70 or '71 'cuda in the show "Mannix?" I also remember Robert Reed, of the "Brady Bunch" drove a 'cuda for a season. Mod Squad had all sorts of Mopar muscle including a Gold, '71 Challenger, a '68 Charger and a '70 Superbird, among others!
