"I have to drive it hard. That's why I'm here" lol...put that on a t shirt please. Beautiful beastly car. You lucky bastard.

I love Nick's sinister chuckle when he breaks 'em loose. LOL

Now thats what you call... enjoying the fruits of ones labor.

Hi from Scotland, it's 10 to midnight and as a truck driver I am about to leave the yard on my 14 hr shift,but couldn't go until I watched the end of yet another great video,I love Nicks youthful enthusiasm,all the best.

Old Jim Rockford would approve those U turns

thats the nicest 74 Cuda ive seen , just love that paint job.

Those rear tires definitly have seen better days.....but thats the way the cookie crumbles huh? 🙂

73 cuda here. 340 3 speed manual. The Forgotten Cuda

I know one thing for sure ...The owner better be super careful when putting the pedal down on Goldalox , cause she'll hookup and get away from you if not careful ... What a beautiful and powerful Cuda !!!!!!!

I have a feeling there’s gonna be more people looking for Nick to build them a bored and stroked 360 after these videos, very impressive small block power! 👍

hey nick, we used to call them "daily doughnuts" ! yes what a beautiful beast!

Nick's laugh says it all.

I love it when Nick goes "heh heh heh" after romping on an engine. Like a cat's purr, and Nick is satisfied.

that Cuda looks awesome

Very cool muscle car neck! Back in the day, 1974 out on interstate 75 just in to Kentucky I had an impromptu race with a yellow Cuda magnum. I was driving my 1970, hugger, orange, formula Firebird 400 4 speed with my brother in the right seat. The yellow Cuda had three people in it, and with a nod of our heads and nobody on the road we decided to hit it! It wasn’t from a standing stop, we slow down to about 50. I don’t know how we both hit it at the same time, but we did it three times. What I remember is that the Cuda left a huge cloud of blue smoke/oil every time! It was worse when he decelerated. This went on for about 5 miles. On the third jump I’m looking at the Cuda and I’ve got a lead on them by maybe 10 feet what I didn’t realize was there was an old farm truck coming up on the entrance ramp that was only doing maybe 40, I was hitting 135 ! My brother sees this green old farm truck and says he’s going to pass, he’s going to pass, and just about that same time I see this truck!! I push in the clutch and bear on the brakes. The Cuda, who is in the same lane as the old farm truck comes around me, and does the same thing! I I wind up, taking the shoulder of the road on the left fishtailing a bit while the yellow Cuda is covering my windshield with droplets of oil! My brother is white as a ghost, holding on for dear life. We both go around the green pick up truck as we’re passing through 80, we get back into our respective lanes and nobody else is on the road except me the yellow Cuda and a green farm truck about a mile behind. We both slow down to about 60 and we look at each other and realize, we’ve both had enough! The Cuda gets off at the next exit, probably to fill up his engine with oil! I was probably 25 years old and there’s a reason why insurance companies don’t give us really good rates when we’re young. Love your channel I watch it all the time. NWR

There’s not many cars from 1974 that still looked good but the Cudas still had it! 👍

Having Nick build your motor and drive your car, is like the ultimate Mopar honor!

That smallblock breathes well in the cool swamp air

Love that colour

Nick you are like a kid in a CANDY store!!!!!!! NICE RIDE!!!!!!!

I betJeff gets goose bumps watching his car! I sure do!

That 'Cuda is a beast! Gorgeous. 😍🤩

Awesome intro George and sooooooooooooooooo fitting for a Cuda of this calibre.

Man this Cuda hits hard! The owners are definitely going to feel the need to power!

Ahhhhhhhhh, a good ol' Mopar U-turn!!!

And kudos to george on the awsome camera work!!!

What a beautiful beast

Big blocks ruled back in the day, but with modern induction, heads, exhaust, and stroker kits, small blocks have really shown their potential for awesome street performance.

I've got a 414 small block in a '71 Duster 4 speed with 3.55 gears. I know the feeling!

May as well put some new sneakers on that dream Ride before it leaves. George, I can’t say enough about the Narration and videography on this one. We’ll Done my friend!😊

I just 🎉 ❤️ that Gold Cuda!!! It has it all and beautiful, too! Thank you, Nick, for a big job, done well.

wow what a ride thanks nick

Love the way you build these mean street machine's

As for headers Hooker 5115's are the only headers that really fit, love my Hookers!

Always was a small block fan, mostly GM , BUT I NEVER HAD A 318 , OR 360 FAIL ME . OWNED A FEW

That looks like a lot of fun. I sure miss my 71 Satellite. Can't afford one these days. 😢

I'm a chevy guy but i'd luv to own that cuda it's awsome.

Haven't saw that look on Nick's face since the 427 Yenco Camaro...its a Winner.And George you did an excellent job on this video your narration at the beginning of the video was Top Shelf.

"I'm going to drive it hard , That's what I'm here for" . Classic Nick . you got me laughing out loud again.

Glad we could all tag along for this anticipated test run!! Nick: why are you hitchhiking..I'm only test driving up and down the parking lot. Me: drop me off when your done

My Dad has a 70 Cuda that he built a 408 stroker for...very similar to this. It rips! Those small blocks wind up so fast. I love it.

Give the kid a ride Nick . poor Nico is drooling on the side of the road for a ride . Show him whats possible when you do a job properly and with passion

Nice ride. Hemi power in a small block👍

When Nick smiles, you know it’s great!

Now thats how you drive a Car! No loss of control crashing into other cars on youtube videos! Lol

The owners are going to say; "I FEEL THE NEED FOR SPEED!" Good one Nick! A thorough test to verify all is good! (and a little fun too!)

Yasoo Nicholaki. Steve tuned in from Adelaide Australia

Beautiful car; and what a madman behind the wheel!

What a beautiful way to loose a couple thousand miles off the back tires. Wow.

Gorgeous Plymouth Cuda, Nick Well done Sir.

SO NICE!!!!!!! ABSOLUTELY BEAUTIFUL

The awesome car and the drive speak for themselves but that was a really good intro by George.

My first car was a '69 Barracuda. Nice job Nick, as usual.

Georgia you did another amazing job equal to Hollywood I really enjoyed it thanks for posting

That's bloody nice Nick, imagine if you tested a car down at slacks creek Brisbane like that. They would arrest me. Love your show mate. From Will in Australia..

Tons of torque, car wants to go sideways.

It is sad that the car was not what was stated. But man! What a gorgeous car it is now! Wow! I love it! When Nick laughs it’s a beautiful thing

Beautiful Ripper! I didn't even know they still made Cuda's in 74 though. Very Cool.

Beautiful Cuda. Love the color!

Drive it like you stole it, Nick! Wait a minute! Maybe you did....it's not yours!!!! 😂😂😂

Nick's like a kid in a candy store..I don't think I've ever seen him beet on one like that.

OMG - This Car is AWESOME in Every Respect....the owner is now a Lucky guy by taking it to you Nick... I LOVE IT !

Dr. Nick, I am going to say that, not a Fairy Tale, it is a dream Cuda now with a Stroker, I like that bat turn, well done, cheers.

LOVE this B-Cuda! Good job Nick!

Nick rear driver tier is warped ... it didn't look like much but it does have a wobble and it may be the vibration causing that rattle and if it's not now give it a month or so and it will be . Give it a look I know the videos are a week or so behind real time . That said get eyes on that rear driver tier . ;)

BEST channel on KZfaq.... HANDS DOWN!!!!!!

Gotta love Nick's test drives!!!

This is what DREAMS are made of…! Nicely done Nick and crew. 😃👍

'cuda ready for haloween

Jeff is one lucky guy! What a beautiful looking and running Cuda! Thanks for the video Nick and George!

Same color as my AAR ‘Cuda was. Or at least close to it. We had ported/extrude honed manifolds with 3” aluminized exhaust, and Flowmaster 40 series on it back then. To tame the temperament of the 6 pack, we had billet metering blocks installed. I sure miss that ‘Cuda. The car on This vid reminds me a lot of it.

This cuda looks and sounds amazing! ❤

carefully as my buddy just said there wild horses tough to control sometimes

The color on that Cuda is amazing to look at and it has got the POWER.....That is because Nick built the Stroker 408 in it.....Thanks Nick and George the amazing camera man and his voice ❣👍 Old F-4 Phantom 2 pilot Shoe🇺🇸

Evenin Mr George an Mr Nick!! Have a Great week!!

The rear lifting brackets looked like it moved left/right from rear view camera angles. I know it should flex up/down, not sure left/right, my eyes could be deceiving me. Looked like possible tire rub. You have a high performer on your hands, as the customer requested. So many fun miles to be had with Goldie. I feel your pain with the headers on the drivers side hanging lower than the passenger side.

OMG, what a beast that stroker is..... It's amazing what is available now that such amazing vehicle can be achieved. I doubt anyone else could have made this work out like it has.

Loved George's intro to this machine! It definitely is going to turn heads and will be a real joy to drive. Performance+ and under control means many years of enjoyment on the road. Remarkable build Nick👏👏👏

That car sounds awesome! Effortless burnouts = smiles all day long

Yeah!!!! Now THAT’S a 408 stroker motor!!!! Making those poor ol’ tires SCREAM for mercy!!! Great job, Nick, as always: I know the owners will be well pleased!!! Great week to you guys!!!!

Challenges are definitely my favorite but a Cuda is pretty cool also. Ebodies are definitely Chryslers best effort

Nick has that "Ooo Baby" look on his face as he dumps the clutch.

Wow just wow Nick that is one sweet looking, sounding and performing ride. What an awesome Cuda I so enjoyed the ride, whoops road test Nick.

I'm convinced that it's these test drives that keep Nick young. You can hear his laugh full of joy.

Nick's Mental Checklist: "Floor it. Beat it. Roast it!" It looks like young Niko is turning in Kowalski himself with his 70's hairdo! 😎👍

Nick I’m 64 years old and I drive my 24:24 Mopars like you did with this beautiful Cuda. And they hold up with no problem. That 360 stroker is a beast. Thanks for taking us along. Looking forward to the next adventure.

Nick that is one beautiful car and I'll tell you what that thing goes like a scared rabbit good job buddy

Awesome build beautiful car runs like a hemi

That is one healthy smallblock. Well done, Nick!

Mental checklist? He is having a darn good time. He's going to have to buy the owner a new set of rear tires. LOL.

Here's a horror story from Nick's garage. It's called Kendall's 383 block.....lol A true nightmare for Nick.

Next step is to improve the traction. Those E bodies are pretty light in the back. Kept waiting for Nick to bang 2ng gear.

Bon Jour, Good Day Eh.

Nick making another dream come true through hard work and attention to detail. Jeff will love it. I still say Nick should do a recreation of his old HemiCuda with the 528.❤

Love it! 🚗💨🇨🇦🇺🇸🇦🇺🇬🇷🏁

get it in the garage before the cops show up 😀

Its so heartwarming to see Nick stop and pause everyso often while street testing to feel the cars and you can see his true automotive love when hes testing another one of his children hes about to set looose to its owner.

OH YEAH !! 😁

Sighhh... Bucket list car for me but unfortunately I'll probably never touch one. 70-74 Cuda's are hands down the best Mopar muscle car ever made! I'll take one in Amber Sherwood green with a hot 440 and black interior if you are giving them out Nick lol.

LOL, every SB Chevy sold in a car anymore is a "383 stroker!!" Usually they are just a 350 with a big cam, or worse, a 305!! Also, some 383 SBC strokers don't RUN as good as a properly built 327 or 350, and I have seen some pitiful 408 SB MoPar strokers and even 493" BB strokers!! I like the way you test and deliver a total dyno-proven package to your customers, Nick!!
