My ‘Cuda was also in B5 blue. It was a stunning color that would shine like nothing else. I had the 340, but not the AAR package. With black interior and vinyl top, I had the rally cluster, slap stick, buckets, PS and brakes, 15 in Cragar S/S wheels with GR 60 Goodrich T/As on all four corners, plus a couple of other minor mods to further improve on what already was impressive handling. I bought it used from a friend - i actually and pestered the living hell out of him until he finally gave in and agreed to sell it to me for $2700 (which truthfully was a bit over top money then). It was pristine when I got it, and because I felt very privileged to own it, I kept it looking new all the time. Loved that car!

Man I’m 58 and a car nut my entire life including mags, videos, books, all of it and being a Mechanic 20 years and you are by far the best presenter I have ever seen. Hands down.

I had one in 1970. It was triple black. Very rare.

my #1 favorite muscle car ever,i was driven to sunday school in 1970 in a 1970 aar cuda in yellow/black,its burned into my memory

my late uncle had an aar cuda that he bought in 1973 . it was hemi orange with a black vinyl roof and had the 727 auto with slapstick . i have fond memories riding in the back as a kid and can still recall when he would open up those holleys . after that i wanted a cuda and my first car ended up being a blue on blue 72 cuda 340 i got in 1982 when i was 17 . made me a mopar guy for life .

In high school a guy on my block was a big time Mopar guy he restored one for his oldest son and a 71 road runner for the youngest, I was so jealous....lol, such cool cars to have.

I've only seen the AAR Cuda with flush NACA scoops on the hood. One of my favourite cars. I had a 1970 challenger 440 RT/SE and a 1972 340 Challenger, a 69 GTX and a 68 Charger 440 RT. I always wanted a Cuda. Only me to blame on that one. Almost bought an AAR Cuda from the original owner in 1973. Great post and colour. Thanks

Love CUDA's. Had a 72 340 4sp in B5.

I had a beat up purple AAR for 6-7 years it was a lot of fun and it taught me how to twist a wrench---lol---and how to do body work

I love the 70 AAR Cuda ever since my first time seeing one in a mopar mag as a kid I loved the hood with the blacked out treatment and the stripes down the side and that front end that looks so badass plus the 6 BBL 340

My favorite Mopar in my favorite color with the mighty 340 w/ 4 speed and 355 sure grip THE G. O. A. T.

A beautiful example in deed!! I have always loved the strobe stripe down the side of these cars and I have yet to see anything better!!!!

B5 Blue and F8 Green! Doesn’t get any better what a beautiful machine!

And here it is April 16 2019. 49 years and two days old as I’m watching. Out lasted Plymouth itself.

Love this car with this color combo.

probably the best handling plymouth of 1970

Thank You for explaining B-5 Blue as Blue Fire. For fifty years I have owned a B-5 Blue (Blue Fire) 1970 Roadrunner Convertible 440+6 4-Speed one of 34 built in 1970. I have used the term Blue Fire for years. The AAR Cuda in this clip is beautiful. It is B-5 100%.

Beautiful, Kevin, Great Presentation as always

I remember seeing one running around on the west side of town, Columbus Ohio around 1974. It was already rusted out, but it was still cool looking!

Never thought of the back of a side exhaust car with no cut outs on back ! Cool again !

challegers/cudas have a awesome rear stance,when have wide tires

My old car! I restored it at The Finer Details in Danville IN.

Awesome wheels !!!!!!!!

Gorgeous, wish it was in my garage!

One of my favorite too.

I love this beast.

The one thing that always freaked me out, was how the hood would bubble out at high speeds... Always had the fear of the thing breaking apart during the drive. It never did, but it certainly got your attention in the beginning.. LOL. Miss them so bad... a friend of mine had the Black on Gold with the louvers rear window add-on, pistol grip 4-speed, black interior... he parked it close to his girlfriend's home one day, as they would not let him park it near the farmhouse, as it shook the windows. Anyways, he parked it on the wrong side of the road one night, and a drunk driver hit the Cuda at a speed estimated at 70 MPH. left side to left side head-on collision and sent the Cuda 200 plus feet down the road. I almost bought it for a couple of hundred dollars, but he decided to keep it. Over time we parted friends and i bumped into him a few years later. Ask him about the Cuda, and he got rid of it to the scrappers. That was the last time I saw that A**Hole ever again.

I don't remember seeing a blue one before- it is amazing. I know the 340 magnum was as fast as my 440 but never was in a 340 6barrel.

Very cool cars...there is one sitting not far from me, original owner, in his front yard in the mud...the black stripes on yellow paint peeking out under the ripped up tarp.

Beautiful car

SWEET RIDE!

Thanks for the great video and the info on the AAR. I have a 1/18 scale die-cast version of this car but in panther pink with a black vinyl top.

The 1970 cuda did do more than 290 horsepower but they put it as 290 so insurance and stuff wouldn't get after them for being to much car

Lord I miss my Cuda! Another car I wish I still had....tear.

Damn, that's a really nice car! 😎

Can anyone tell me where l can find a time machine ? ? ? ? Aaaaaah the memories !

great video .

The 68 Charger and 1996 Viper GTS are wow cars, too! Same for 2005 Ford GT and 2009 Corvette ZR1!😁👍🛠️ Also 1994 Firehawk and 97 Ram Air Trans Am!😁👍🛠️

I had orange one and a. White TA u felt so cool when u drove them people stared and pointed

That is a beautiful muscle car but I just can't get used to the 'flat black' on the hood. I know a lot of people will disagree with me but in my opinion it looks like primer, and like it needs to be painted. That shade of blue is so gorgeous I think it would look better if the hood was blue like the rest of the car and the air scoop was left with the flat black and maybe even a solid stripe down the middle of the front in the flat black.

they made less of the challenger ta`s...around less than 2400 tas...989 were 4 speeds,i also read...dont know the actual numbers panther pink was the rarest paint color chosen by buyers

Chevy guy, use to drive my 69 Camaro around town but i was always was jealous of this red/black 70 cuda i saw around, regular guy cant afford the vintage mopars anymore tho. Shame

Are those warning stickers on the front driving lights? They look yellow from a distance, then when you get a close look they look like square labels. Great car!

Super Kewl! GM and Ford had nothing that looked this good. Maybe some of the earlier Mustangs were close.

when you gonna do a video of a 1970 charger is my favorite

Mopar or No Car !!

👍❤️🔥

Wow

The super Bees were six packs love em!

I had a 1970Dodge Challenger convertible R/T 440Mag Plumb Crazy black interior and top got stopped by a sheriff because he wanted to check my car out, I even gave him a ride in it,that gave me a pass those we're the days

EB5 wow not B5 I learned something and I see the difference my 1970 SE challenger had a flip flop one coat over its B5 blue now I see where its idea came from it was only noticeable in nite under old parking lites my friend was telling me about it changing colors and i thought he was tripping because he was never sober anyways.I like that EB5 blue never heard of it but it's really bad ass I paint for a living because I used to collect E bodys only in 1991 thanks very pretty I never seen an AAR IN blue.

surprised no rally dash

Alrighty now, how's aboot a story on the Pantera?

Yeah if they could have run the 340 the way it was but the destroked 340 suffered from overheating issues but I do believe they one one race all year could have been a third though not sure....Ford an chevy had their 302s dial in in 68 69 I think 1971 was the end if trans am series sadly

Seriously all muscle cars from this era were cool, however Dodge/Plymouth really had the best looking lines from the late 60's to 70. The 71 and later cars had way to much chrome and they lost that unique lines idea from the previous years. Great video and great car!

Odd that it didn't have the rally gauges.

I have a BS27HOB and BH27LOB available

This is nice car sweet but I think chevelle 70 ss what's your top 5?

"Some people think it made more" Really? NHRA refactored them at 350HP!

i allmost,talked mysiter into buying one like this in 70 , but she chose the 340 puss!y then came home with 71monte well i never lost race with it ,402 2.72 well relly a trns am bet me by a fender at 110 iwas 16 hahaha

Amc is the best under dog

EB5 Porn,,,,nice

Kevin, I love your passion man, but you have miss used the word UNIQUE So many times I think you should remove it all together from your vocabulary! Seriously, just don’t say it anymore!🙉EVER!

AAR not a muscle car

Its a pony car not a muscle car lol if it had a 440 it was a muscle car its a small block so its a pony car the biggest Pony car from back in the day its built off a B body because mopar was late in the game to save $ Chrysler built it off a B body fire wall that's why it uses a B body front suspension and rear end its a big car look how long the doors are ,the 340 didn't make the kind of horse power a 327 did power is in the heads if its not a 392 or a 426 don't waste your $

And 1970 I bought one just exactly like this one driving it home from the dealership lady run a red light and T-boned it in the passenger side the car has exactly 4.6 miles on it it's been sitting in my garage ever since
