Watching the shaker hood "quiver" was truly special and the fact that the owner took us all on a ride like that, well, it just doesn't get any better than that Lou!!! That was AWESOME!!!!

This '71 Cuda is just awesomely beautiful powerful and so rare. Bad ass. Only once in my life have I been up close to a '71 Cuda. When the owner fired the engine up it blew the moisture exhaust onto my white pants and stained them. I was standing right behind the dual exhaust and considered it a "badge of honor" and a great privilege to have my pants stained by a '71 HEMI Cuda. Love the classic muscle cars.❤❤👍👍😉😁😃

    Goodday Lou, As soon as this pop up I needed my Hemi Cuda Fix. The Holy Grail, to be blessed to be in the presence of the Holy Grail & to go for a trashing. You are one lucky guy, I am so happy for you to get such an opportunity. Ralph is such a good sport to take you for a spin, it felt like I was there with you. 1970 Hemi Cuda, 4 speed, 4:10 arse end, Rallye Pack Gauge, centre console, dual mirrors, all the jewellery on the outside, woodgrain steering wheel, Pistol Grip Shifter. Say no more, love the car. Lou can I ask a favour, that Tom Hoover Hemi Tribute Sticker any chance you can grab 2 of them for me please, I would love to put them on my Hardtop as a tribute to the Godfather of the Hemi. I run a Hemi but a 6 cylinder Hemi. It would be greatly appreciated. Great video thoroughly thoroughly enjoyed it. Your number 1 Fan in Australia Louis Kats from Melbourne Australia ☺ 👍 ❤

    Nice video of an iconic Plymouth! This is the reason the current Charger is abysmal. Since Plymouth is no longer, I sort of get it, that Chrysler didn't want same style car as challenger, but still, no muscle car should have 4 doors. (Even with a hemi) Well done Ralph!
