I don't know. There are cars from the 1980s and 1990s and even early 2000s that are going up in value. The key, IMO, is to buy what you like and then value is secondary, but there. I know many enthusiasts with 8-5 jobs with moderate incomes that build equity in their garages in their spare time and have collections into 6 figures. They are legion.

My Cuda (‘72) wasn’t a hemi or even one of the hi-power years, but it was just as clean as the one in this vid when I traded it away in ‘76. B5 Blue, black vinyl top, black interior, rally cluster, 340 w727. It was a beauty. Still can’t figure out what the hell I was thinking.

1978 I had a job washing dishes for $ 2.10 an hour. The local used car dealer had a 1969 Dodge Daytona for $1900.00 dollars. The hood and drivers door were different colors and the motor was a 318 with a 904 automatic transmission. The man at the dealers said they blew the motor up and they sold the drivetrain, hood and door to another person and traded it in like that. My dad kept me from buying that Weird car. It had that God awful wing on the back and that stupid looking front end. Plus someone had monkied with it, he said. I remind him of that every time we watch the Mecum car auctions.

My buddy has a 70 dart since he was in high school, rebuilt a few times, but about 13 or so years ago he did a full restoration. Blueprinted engine from the original 340, now and 620hp at flywheel n/a. It is show car quality focused build, with no expense.Viper green painted on rotisserie. Even the under side has 3 or 4 coats of clear. Truly a beautiful build. He finally finished it this year and took me for a rip, I was like a little school girl hahaha. Now hes got a road runner with a fresh built 440. Can not wait to go for a boot in that one. Great video buy the way.

Very nice video! The caption of this video caught my eye because I wanted to buy a 1970 hemi-cuda in the mid 70's that was for sale for $1900. The car was in Thousand Oaks, CA, was white with white top, blue interior, non-shaker hood (the shaker was supposedly in the garage), slap-stick 727, and factory installed air conditioning. The seller told me that the original owner was a doctor in Arizona who had the car shipped to Detroit for the air. The second owner was supposedly the crew chief of Don Prudhomme who blue printed the engine. The problem was that I only had $1500 and my dad wouldn't lend me the $400 I was short. He said, "cars never appreciate." A few years later (around 1979), I found the same white hemi-cuda in Anaheim Hills, CA, for sale for $6000. I have no idea where that car is today or how much it's worth, but after missing out on the $1900 hemi-cuda, I ended up buying an AAR Cuda for $1500 and drove it as a daily driver for 20 years. Today, I'm retired and just took delivery of a Superformance GT40 with a 560hp Roush 427 -- so yes, I still play with cars :)

No hemi car came from the factory with A/C ever. Every hemi came with dual quads and with the factory A/C compressor mounted on the motor on the front top of the engine and there was no way to mount the compressor with a dual quad set up. Same thing applies to six pack setups. No factory shaker hood set up would fit either. I have heard that a few 4 barrel carb equipped motors came with shakers but no A/C either. I have never seen a proven car with this set up so I may be wrong about 4 barrel and shaker set up.

The team had a shop nearby. They were impressed I knew drag racing and Prudomme. Dick Landy's shop was in Northridge as well. A little off topic but proves the few degrees of separation in the Mopar world and a nearby Hemi Cuda, lol.

That was quite a while back so My memory is a little fuzzy, But I do Know it was a Factory orderd Hemi Cuda, and it did have A/C. His Cuda was loaded with just about every option you could put on a Hemi Cuda. It was one bad ass Car. I apologize for my error, and thanks for setting me straight on the year.

These are survivor cars, not fully restored and full of aftermarket or repro parts. Plenty of restos non-matching cars to take out and run the snot out of, without the huge financial risk or risk of loosing a true survivor that can be enjoyed and used as reference for other restorations. If you want to just go out and rip shit up in a Hemi, head to your local Dodge dealer, buy one new off the lot and have at it, it will be faster and better in every way compared to the originals, with the exception of looks maybe, and you can total 5 of them for the same price as a true survivor car.

One of several factory Hemi cars spanning over 15 years...mostly drivers. The rarest was a red 66 Hemi Coronet 440 convertible A/T. Not a favorite with the car show crowd, most thought 440 was the engine cu. not the model. It was easy to start and my best running Hemi of them all.

I almost had a hemi cuda... I was stationed in Taiwan from Sept. 12 1969 thru Dec 12 1970 and the base exchange had a deal with auto manufactures to sell new cars to military personnel overseas for the same price a dealer paid for it. Only problem was I got extremely sick and had to spend a couple of weeks in the base hospital just before my tour was up. When I got out of the hospital I went to order my 1971 Hemi Cuda with a four speed. Only to find out I was a week too late to order it...BUMMER!!!

The very first time I seen a hemicuda I was 13 years old, and I knew from that point That's the car I want one day,That was in 1972. The car was making my blood boil as it was sitting there in front of my neighbors house, I still remember the sound that was coming out of the mufflers it was like a thunder storm on steroids, and the color would knock your eyes out a lime green with wide black etched striping all down the side and all I could do was look and stare and picture myself behind the wheel of that outstanding car, and that gave me hope there are better things ahead for a boy like me with vision's of things to come . But those days have came and gone, my father had just retired from from the military just a few years earlier in 1968 after coming home from Nam with 20 years of service under his belt and I was glad he was home.

FORD had the 69 BOSS 429 with matching scoop but after complaints over the paint touch ups from chips in the scoop , the 1970 BOSS 429 used Black only scoups .

WOW....... and everybody thinks Mark Worman (Graveyard Carz) is the Mopar master but he couldn't hold on to his first car. I kick myself in the ass for not having the foresight to hold on to a GTX that I had in high school...... Hats off to you Frank, your a purist in my book for sure.

This is great would be a dream come true good for this man doing what he does and loves

Had a 67 Plymouth Mopar Furry 3 Once and got familiar with buying Mopar Parts :) QC

Great video........ we owned a 1970 TA Challenger 340 six pak Fk5 Dark Burnt Orange bought it straight out of the local Dodge Dealership brand spanking new paid $4500.00 for it great car.

Crap I remember the ones I let get away back then. Cause who knew? My first car purchase was a 67 Charger but the 383 block was cracked so our family mechanic said get rid of it. Lol

Mark worman is very highly regarded in the mopar world. Anyone tells ya different they are just jealous. He puts cars on the road that most would just let rot or part out, as a matter of fact hes built some chopped up parts cars and theyre back to a show stopper as close to original as possible. The man loves mopars & it shows. Sure he's a goof on the show but it's good to have fun.

1968 got back from Nam ... worked at a Dodge dealer ,,, wanted a new GTX but had no money ,,,, no credit ,,,, asked my aunt to co sign ,,, she could not so never got my hemi

Aspergers not OCD. The catalogs of VINs also confirms it.. Mark Worman has this too I believe

That car is beyond beautiful...😍😍😍😍😍😍😍😍😍😍

Very interesting, guy knows what he likes, and has owned them all

I have had 5 HEMI and I love them if you take care of the power plant. I wish I could afford an old one I currently own a 2018 ram 5.7 HEMI and I love em

What an intro quote ...genius

"I got 16 to 17 miles to the gallon with this"😂😂😂yea that's about right for one.

Tuning was the trick. Multiple carburetors and some of the other exotic setups got exotic problems that the average mechanic didn't know how to fix. My dad owned a gas station in the late '60s and early '70s, his partner was a gearhead who knew how to tune. They had a guaranteed clientele not only of American muscle cars but also foreign makes like V12 Jaguars. One of the common fixes they did on Jags was to change out the Jaguar alternator to a GM Delco alternator. Those Jags ate alternators and the factory replacement was obscenely expensive.

His knowledge can be challenged by Mark at graveyard cars.

Wow Man! wow. Nice mint mopars.

Very, very nice! Subbed.

Wow what beautiful cuda. All original. How can someone not drive that car thousands of mikes.

great video. mopar rules

Years ago on the local Detroit news the concourse de elegance show was in town, they showed a 1of1, 70 cuda, metallic purple, convertible, white top, white interior, 426/4 speed pistol grip. Back in the early 2,000's they said it was valued at 3.5 million. The guy was driving it on the street,... how crazy was he?

Super b is one of my true favorites I've only sat in two the hemi cuda was always my heart's desire

Louder inside than at the pipes, still sweet ride..

I like the direct drive starter!

I love this car, who wouldn't but to have 7000 actual miles on it, isn't that just I don't know, not right. One of the baddest ass cars ever made and barley driven and it never will be, just go from rich hand to rich hand sitting around telling stories about how bad ass this car can be.

Love that yellow car at the end and the fun fact that if u got 15 inch wheels the glorious dog bowl rims was the big block car wheel.a truck wheel right....not very stylish but it had the bigger tire an the weight rating for the increase of weight if the hemi motor

I really dig that Super Bee...what a car!

Always liked that cuda body style best, followed by the original barracudas which was a variation we never got of our aussie valiants. We did get an australianised dodge dart hardtop for 69 and 70 though. My alltime favourite mopar is the valiant chargers of 71/72. Best version: Charger R/T with the E-49 engine option 265 hemi inline 6 with triple 45mm webbers, 4 speed. Was the fastest accelerating aussie production car for 25 years until 1997. Some touted it as the world's fastest six cylinder when new, but I can't confirm that one.

Absolutely amazing. MOPAR OR NO CAR.

Hey Jerry... Beautiful Survivor HemiCuda..!! I really enjoy seeing Survivors of all kinds..! I have seen a few originals with low miles and many fakes in Northern California. Many Original Hemi cars needed valve adjustments, timing and carb tweeking. My original 1969 RAIV Judge (purchased for $300. out of a Fresno junk yard) usually will pass most Hemis unless they are tuned correctly. And like always.. the original tires cannot handle the torque.....
