Hi Rick Yaman, Glad you to share this one with you. "drive a Hemi Cuda convertible in bumper to bumper taxi traffic, that takes guts" I like that :-) Lou

Hi soyounout, I agree, it's the correct way to do it. Tom is extremely generous and realizes it's about sharing. We always have a blast together and I hope that comes out as we share videos with the Viewers. Thank you for viewing and sharing your comment, Lou

Driving this car in that traffic is completely stupid. Someone hits you, it’s over for that car!

Yep, and your video with Tom in his also very rare 1969 hemi Daytona is super cool as well!

@@tomnatortomnator883 Living like that is stupid. Machines (Cars) are rebuildable & replaceable, people are not. That’s like saying I’m never taking my child or loved one out of the house because they might get hit or killed, and they are Irreplaceable, so I’ll just keep them at home forever. People gotta live and cars gotta be driven!

So enjoyed reading your comment Wally Walton, thank you for viewing, Lou

+kramden Hi Kramden, Agreed, a real guy car! When you have the chance to drive one, well you drive where you can, even in the city of Chicago. Thankfully all worked out on the video. Take care, Lou

It changes based on the Sunlight and angles . From the side at a distance it did look gray but at times I saw a light blue which I see on cars that is named some kind of tropical aqua shade ...it also looks like a light silver with a mild blue hue. There was also a late 1950's early 60's Chevy full size car that had a light Green that was darn close to this car when I saw the view looking down the body panel. I can't see driving this car in the City if it had a 4:88 rear because the massive torque could start the car in 2nd but the tires would break traction at 30 mph if you hammered the gas too had. In a different video....Tom mentioned that a 2:73 rear was in the car for the long highway drive in Europe . My guess is that it was also for the Autobaun in Germany to take it up to 160 mph or higher with special high speed rated tires. It sure would have been nice as a tourist to being doing 140 and then see this HEMI cuda over take us at 160 mph while seeing the Hemi Billboard . A hemi superbird on the autobaun doing 170 would be really impressive.

Thanks, I did my own research and in 1971 all of the Roadrunners were Imported to Canada from Detroit or St.Louis but my guess is that Detroit was used because Windsor , Canada was across the River and so was the Chrysler Plants that ship by truck and rail going East to Montreal and Toronto which were the 2 biggest Cities for buyers. But in 71 the Cuda WAS built in 2 US States as well as and in Windsor for the Canada market. The Cuda expert was galengovier.com/ but he only claimed that all of the US Hemi cuda's produced were recorded plus the few for Export. My friend that saw the 71 Hemi Conv that caused me to stop and look is still alive to confirm it . It would have been built in Windsor and shipped to Toronto with no record for the US production buy included in the N.American sales numbers. I never saw that Cuda in the winter , but when i did see it the odd time at that coffee shop it would made sense for why i didn't see HEMI on the side when it was light yellow ( i think it's Sunfire yellow) with the White Billboard on top of me not being close enough to see 426 on the shaker hood scoop . My friend told me that when he was in California he had seen HEMI's on the street with factory tires and they would break traction and smoke the tires while cruising at 40 mph just by flooring the gas pedal . The drag races had stock cars with normal tires where the driver would Dial In a time and try to match it each run to beat the others. My friend said that one hemi cuda almost went the whole 1/4 with a tire still spinning and leave smoke behind it .

Hi culcune, I'm not aware of this car ever being burned, however I am aware of this car burning rubber :-) Lou

@@loucostabile Thanks--I recall the story one of the Hemi Cuda convertibles was bought by a guy in France, and he raced it on road courses (as opposed to drag racing), and his car burned up sometime in the mid-70s. It was rebuilt using a replacement car, and it still didn't diminish the value of it as it was documented that the original car burned. I found the story interesting in that it was one of maybe two '70-'71 Hemi Cuda convertibles that were bought from new by people in Europe. The other one was a '70 version bought by the CEO of British Steel in UK. I believe both are in the U.S.

Hope you get yours soon, and come by and pick me up too.
