I love how you guys are teaching the youth, and mentoring/guiding them in the important details 👍🇺🇸

I'm not necessarily a Mopar guy, but since these cars were around, it is really very interesting how Mark points out the details on the very basics. Very impressive. I've really enjoyed watching this. I've learned more about these cars than I ever thought I would! :)

This is the most informative car show i have ever watched. i believe anyone who owns or is interested in mopar should be watching your team. i have a 73 valiant regal with a stock 318 nothing great but what i could afford to get into mopar . so i will be watching every episode. I will also be posting this to all the mopar guys on our forum here in New Zealand. thanks for putting out such good content and taking the time to explain how everything works and why and i love the we quiz bits. cheers.

WOW! The lengths that scammers go to is downright terrible. Only a few guys like Mark could tell this.

Ever have something remind you of someone who is no longer with you and the memory is so powerful and meaningful that you have tears running down your face and your nose is stopped up so fast that it's almost like being sucker punched? When Dougie pulled out that museum piece key holder and I actually saw it and realized what it was, I was INSTANTLY taken back to 1975 and my Grandmother's white 1966 Fairlane. She used to keep her car keys in one of those. I haven't seen one in 35-40 years. It's amazing how memories from so long ago can be so vivid and clear.

I would think you need to have more than 5% of the original car to use an original Vin number.

​@@brianbarney1885 You need the VIN tag and than the key areas that have stampings that have the same numbers as the vin. If you have the assembly build tags those are not always with a car. If you have numbers matching car starting in the late 60's you will find the serial/sequence numbers will be on the engine and transmission as well and they will be the last 6 digits of the vin. Those numbers will not prove the car is origional and not fake if they all match. If they don't match than it proves it is not all original.

Don't need even 5%. All you need is structure of some sort that's original. Just gotta prove the part is original to the car. Mark has receipts, pictures before and after the dip, a license and reputation the DMV would take as good.

As a painter for over 43 years, Wil is doing a great job, I commend the guy because he shows that he cares about his work Respect..... Most impressed with your daughter, she has come such a long way with all you have taught her. Mark, you are such a wise fella, I must say you are one of a kind indeed sir, Respect Respect Respect! What an awesome shop and crew you have, knowing you kept the good ones from childhood to carry along into life with all having the same Pashion in Mopar's....

I remember during the gas crisis in the 70's there were lines around the block. You couldn't give a muscle car away. It has to be frustrating to think of all the muscle cars that could have easily been restored got crushed instead because no one wanted them. Because they were basically worthless minor damage was considered a total. My friend sold his '67 GTO for $60. to the wrecker and when the guy saw the car (pretty well stripped, not wrecked) he wanted his money back.

So If this shop replaces major body panels from rust or collision The car is still considered restored. but if another shop replaces the rear 75% of the body and still retains the proper VIN #'s It's considered as a fake or a tribute ? Where exactly do you draw the line ? At what point does major body panel replacement become building a fake car When the proper ID is intact ?

I haven’t seen this channel in probably well over a year and it’s come quite a long way

Damn, you guys are actually building a car from scratch! I watched your show years ago and being Chrysler car guy, wondered if I stayed in the car repair/restore business, might I have been as good a Chrysler authority as Mark is. Amazing stuff here!!!!! I guess my only question would be if this car is considered restored or NOS manufactured car???? I get that you use the original data plate and roof, but beyond that, the body is all new, nothing remained from the day is was factory built.

Wait.... So the customer wasn't upset?

This is one of the reasons I love watching this show. Attention to details. Truth.

Love watching your channel keep up the good work

When I was a kid I thought that all Cudas came with a 671 blower, Cragars, and Mickey Thompson 50s.

Hell if you want to nit pick both of these cars are a "Cuda" of Theseus type of situation. What's the difference between "re-bodying" and replacing everything but the roof structure? When done correctly they are both commonly and legally acceptable practices. Surely this isn't the first time he has seen this because there are a lot of muscle cars out there like that.

Y'all really Love these old monsters. Kind of makes me pine for my Mom's 1972 Plymouth Satellite with that 318 2bbl. Kind of... Great channel, really fun to watch you work.

I grew up in the 60's in a small town in Jersey. Down the street was Burnett and Hillary Chrysler Plymouth. All of these Mopar muscle cars I looked at them in amazement, Cuda's, Road Runners, GTX's, and Challenger's. My friend painted cars in their body shop. Yer show is very accurate and entertaining. Thanks for letting me relive those memories. And the Chrysler 300 letter cars, the beginners of muscle cars. Would love to see your team do a 300.

Can’t wait to hear it run. Cool to see your knowledge being passed on too.

The most incredible thing about that "Tribute" build is that the guy who swapped all the VIN's and badging etc, knew what made a real 440 6-pack car but just didn't do the proper work to make it pass the sniff test. He had the knowledge but not the work ethic.

Excellent VIN tag and other body detective work Mark!

What a bunch of great folks. Enjoyed the video.

I miss my all original '72 Cuda. Forced to sell due to bills and a friend sais they saw it in a field 2 weeks later... .

Impressed by the knowledge of this guy and his team. Amazing

Yea he wanted a real 71 Cuda and all he got was a real 71 Cuda roof!!

Very cool. Am I the only one who caught the shout out to Jim Root of Slipknot?

Tribute or original.... In 2023 I'm just happy to see them alive and well.

How does someone not know their car is a fake, unless the VIN has been removed or falsified.

Never rode in a Cuda, but roommate had a Challenger conv with a hot 360 transplant, she was wicked powerful and lite. It would be worth a fortune today but sadly, it was lost along with a childhood friend heading to college. In late 70's/early 80's Mopars were the hottest stuff on the street.

Make that the late 60's and early 70's. The era of the Hemi Cudas and Challengers, T/A Challengers and AAR Cudas, and the 440 SixPak cars. I was lucky enough to drive a T/A Challenger in high school, a 340 SixPak, 1 of 1200 produced.

How do you go about commissioning a build for either a 440 cuda or GTX??? What would the cost be???

Nice informational video Gyc

i almost bought a 71 cuda my mechanic friend spotted the new upper control arm. that was in 72, seller said it was new never damaged. i picked up a 70 SS 396-375 chevelle for 2200 bucks instead. cars were cheap gas was cheap. i wanted the cuda

Cool info on the cuda rear body panel lock...

Oh man it would be so cool if people would stop trying to remake this exact show.

These guys have great skill and I admire it, but I don't necessarily agree with it. On the one hand they are building an entirely new car around a VIN plate and the roof panel, then on the other hand the are calling the other car fake for doing nearly the same thing albeit with used parts.

I would even take a knock off of a Barracuda. I had the chance as a young man to buy a lime green barracuda convertible for $1100, but my father said no. I had saved up half of it. and was the only kid in my family that paid off my cars, but the answer was NO! That is part of the reason I stopped seeing my family after mom died. But even a knock off is better then anything they make today.

Am I the only one that missed the part about the customer being "VERY UPSET"?

wait, tag line says very upset customer. But, Mark says the customer was super cool about it....

Diggin through the junk drawer recently goin for a set of Sylvania bulbs for a cherokee blinker. It worked but they was purchased for a gs regal. I dumped the bag i stored them in and found a damaged button i thought was lost. It controls the lock on the driver door window panel. The tnt on the passenger side aint exactly black and aggravating to ask to roll it down cause the switch keeps it locked.

Awesome content and unparalleled knowledge of these gems... but where's the "very upset customer when Mark tells him his car is a fake!" part?...

I really enjoyed the investigation. But I wonder if the stampings are the same for both models. They produced more stampings than cars.

So he suddenly discovered the VIN tag was bogus after all the work? Right thing to do would be inform the owner BEFORE taking his $.

My exact inner structure done in a t-shirt.

As long as vehicles or parts are identified as not original to the car...who cares? Restomods are everywhere. Nice to see Mark not acting like a clown. I couldn't watch the show anymore.

This isn't a repair or even a restoration. This is a reconstruction.

Thats a real shame. This was very educational.

Thats the Phantasm Hemi Cuda. Good movie.

Wills got a point. Why you gotta be so heavy handed or unaware of the coordinates your body limbs are in? That door slam when he just went to put the tape on.. People like him are naturally just heavy with everything they do and that peeves me as well.

respect to the owner, just keeping at it.

A copy of this video should be mailed to the seller of the Fake Cuda 6 pack car . With a signature required package . With the word BUSTED written on the thumb drive 😁

I've owned a few gems in my past. Although none were in mint condition, they are missed. 63 Chevy ii 2dr, 68 nova 2dr, 66 GTO, 68 Malibu 2dr, 70 Lemans 2dr, 76 Monte Carlo. All bought and sold $1800. or less😢

71,is my fav Cuda. Last year for the HEMI

how does he know the rear deck hasn't just been replaced.. good grief

The odds of special order cars not being abused is so slim.

Do you watch any other shows, like 2 guys garage or all girls garage. If you did you might see shows sponsored by Hotshots and Lokar. Those shows are exactly what you say. Commercials posing as a show. This is not that at all. Its become more about Mark and the interactions with his staff , than about restoring cars. On builds like this its way more than a restoration and more of a type of remanufacturing a car, when their is so little of a car thats left.. with so much scripted shows claiming they are reality , this one is as real as it gets this is a real shop doing real work for real people. Except the production crew following them around with video cameras and boom mikes all day. That's normal right???

They used to say you could build a vw beetle from a jc Whitney catalog for cheap. Now you do it with Mopar unicorns and some lawyer will pay half a million dollars for it to tow to a show twice a year. Thanks, Mecum/Barret Jackson types.

How can this be considered a real car, when its all aftermarket panels?

I love to work there and do some cutting in buffing

How different is this from someone building up a car with mostly reproduction sheet metal and a few original bits and pieces (firewall, etc.) and claiming it's a restored original?

I thought Chrysler dropped the bodies on completed drivelines at factory during that period? Wouldn't make it too surprising that it fit so well, unless I'm mistaken.

I love this being able to have a brand new 1970 Cuda.

The car was so rusty the only original part left was the roof. Of course it’s a fake Cuda.

it's interesting that they 'identify' as spooky grave-yarders...but in reality, they are blessed resurrectionists.

I thought they called them "3 Dueces" instead of a 6 bbl or was it a "6 Pack"...

Very cool build, but WHY put the horrid original brakes in? Went with modern suspension, transmission, and fuel injection but old tiny brakes system.

I would still have it built as a tribute car, but somehow document it so no one else gets fooled, if I sold it.

You can have any color you want just as long as it’s black Henry Ford

Whatever Mark and his boys built I'd be extremely happy to get.

This video starts with a car being built from panels from catalog then it goes to a different car he says is fake that was built pretty much exactly same way

Great, great grampa's hammer is a family treasure. He built our family home, barn, garages all with that hammer....of course the handle was replaced maybe a dozen times, the head 3 or 4 times.

'70 Cuda front end looks much better than the '71. Also, who would have thought all these Mopars could spawn a whole industry that remakes them! Back then Camaros and Mustangs were preferred and these were considered cheaply made at best. Who would have thought that now even an incomplete rust bucket sells for thousands?
