1971 Plymouth Cuda in White & 426 Hemi Engine Sound & Ride on My Car Story with Lou Costabile 

That has to be like the holy grail of Hemi Cuda"s! 1971 was the last gasp for the high compression Chrysler Corporation muscle cars. Ford and GM had already knocked the compression down in their cars. I consider myself fortunate to have been working in A dealership when these were new. Thanks for the memories!

Total respect for the owner to take such a rare car like that out and drive it in the streets of Chicago good for him and good for lou no trailer queen here today

She brings tears to this old mans eyes....what a beauty!

Wonder,who in the world could give this car a thumbs down. Very sweet car, and nice presentation.

One of my favorites and what an absolute classic of a muscle car!. Great find, Lou!

Hey my Dentist when I was a kid had the exact same ride but painted a crazy Mopar purple. It always cracked me up that this 60 year old Dentist would buy that beast brand new and drive it everyday.

When in doubt, order your Hemi Plymouth in plain white.

Well if Tom owns it, you know it's got to be a good one! If I were 1 of the 7 dwarfs, this is the Snow White I'd want to live with. Thanks, Lou!

Congratulations Tom on such an amazing collection!! All of his Hemi Cuda ‘s are beautiful ❤

I can’t get enough of these 71 cudas lol

Beautiful ‘Cuda presented on my my favorite (and best) car channel on RU-vid. Thank you Lou for all your hard work. It’s much appreciated.

Excellent presentation Lou, your detailed analysis is perfection.

Never was a badder car to ever roll on this planet in my opinion. Absolute monster

That all business Hemi sound!!

Hemi....nuff said! 😉😳😯 '70 or '71 Hemi Cuda....I wouldn't be able to decide! The myth, the legend....Hemi! Another winner Lou....really enjoy the ride mate! 👍🏻👌🏻👏🏻

Lou thanks for bringing us these fine vehicles.

Beautiful and rare car! Thanks for sharing this, Lou!!

The car is Super Fast Lou! Tom is one lucky to have that Cud.Thanks and really appreciate for showing another piece of America's Valuable collections.

This good looking Hemi Cuda looks like a mean looking Husky ^^

Love the cheese grater grill exclusively in 1971 1 year only mind-blowing

Lou, you gotta love Tom for sharing his collection of super rare Mopars. Not many collectors would let you in their garage let alone take you for a ride and spin the tires. What a great guy! I can't thank him enough, please pass that along Lou. Thank you for sharing and have a fantastic day!

Thanks for sharing you and Tom are the best!

I've never been in a 71 Hemi cuda. Thanks for the ride guys:)

Brings back memories of my 70's! Thanks

Nice to see the 'Cuda again since I was the 2nd owner of it.

Love the shaker decal it looks like the word shaker is literally shaking

71 Cuda was the best looking Mopar besides the 70 roadrunner! Dayammmmm, that is one sweet car!!

Awesome Lou, sounds great and thanks for sharing.

Gotta Love THIS ONE ,As Much As the Black One ,W,/White Interior& White Billboards & This One Is LOWER MLG.& Has the Guage PKG.TOM Is A Brave Guy To Take These Favs.of His Great Collection Out on the Streets of Chicago.Tks for Sharing,As Always!!!

Awesome Lou & Tom《☆》Thanks for sharing the car & knowledge with us :*: 71s always been my favorite🤓☻🤠

WAOW ! The 1971 is so. Nice. Hemi. Engine

Beautiful Car!!! 👍🏻👍🏻 Thanks for sharing Lou!!

This is one of my favorite car. Perfect car to cruise around Chicago suburbs.

Beautiful car best-looking grill out there that they ever put in one and the best colors thanks sir for sharing

Nice old Cuda. He sure has some nice high dollar Mopars in his collection. This car sure has guts! Wow! What a treat to ride around in a car like that. I remember these cars new they were sure the thing back in 1971. I was 13 years old when this car was made and it sure looks like new yet and look at that mileage too. First one I have seen in a while with a clock that operates too. Thanks for sharing Lou!

Sweet CUDA white is sharp!!!...thankQ for sharing this beauty😁😎👍

HEMI CUDA, another MARVELOUS & OUTSTANDING muscle car of the 70s, WOW! AWESOME color combo with a REMARKABLE Spoiler in the back. only 25K miles!! they must've drove the car a block everyday, AMAZING! what a STUPENDOUS HEMI engine block. Very POWERFUL engine, WOW!

Another great one thanks Lou

Very cool car. Wish I could have bought one new and drove it out of the dealership. Late 60's and early 70's was a great time to be a car enthusiast!.🔧

Nice car Lou. Thanks for sharing

WOW. Love HEMI cars, elephant engine is a real King engine.

Holy Grail of Hemi cars the Hemi Cuda and once again great video lou thanks for sharing. If I understood correctly the only 4 speed numbers matching Hemi Coupe.....

Without any hesitation, if i had a million dollars, rather than buying hyper european cars, I would go for this thing all day

This is a million dollar muscle car beautiful snow white hemi cuda

Muito Show esse Plymouth cuda. Parabéns pelo video lou.!

“Yeah, it’s got a HEMI.” Nuff said!!🥳🥰😆😎

Gorgeous Hemicuda!!

Love the whining sounds of the engine and transmission

Yes🚦《☆》I remember watching this one. Good to see it again👍🤠☮

Look like you both a fun time on that nice cuda

I love when you do a video with Tom he drives his cars!

I want one for Christmas 🤗

My dream car since I was 12. Amazing, love the 71.

That car is sooooo bad -ass. Thanks for showing it ! I will trade all my vintage Mopars for it, 69 RR, 71 340 Duster etc.

Always great to see originals and presented by knowledgeable owners Too many wiz bang gimmicky retro mods to muscle cars these days

Beautiful car !

I've never liked the look of the front grill on the later cuda's. But, as time goes on I'm starting to come around. Absolutely amazing car.

Nice Cuda that really stands out

That's a real beauty there and being a hemi with a 4spd makes it even more desirable. It's sounds really good too.

Love the 4:11 factory setups’ shifting into 4th gear @ 20MPH!

Had a 71 V code I still remember it

The ultimate Mopar🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸👍👍👍👍👍

Thanks..great machine & history.. Actually spent many years driving to WRIGLEYVILLE ( “West Cornelia ” 1998-2106, in A ‘97 Dodge Intrepid Sport, few years in a Grand Cherokee),, and previous years too. Been past DePaul and on many Chicago,Streets,Lakeshore Drive,etc...Anyways, good times... relocated to East Helena MT NOW...still sort of MOPAR Guy , got a 2015 Journey 4CYL( Great Mileage/Drive: though use THE Studded Nokian TIRES In Winter & summer Nokian, not really a CUDA TIME.).........ps::do kind of miss VISITING CHICAGO, & (Klaremont Collection) ART INSTITUTE, CUBS WRIGLEY FIELD, ETC.Occasionlly,did enjoy prowling streets, Lake Shore, Museums, Friends, Greektown!,,,,,!,best of Day.

Nice to see

Lou, one cool dude running a million dollar ride rat-racing and chirping on some downtown Chicago side streets...sheesh! Kahoonah's man... It would've been a real treat hearig that thing tear up a 1/2 mile strip in some industrial park.

Hi Lou That was as real as it gets !! If you asked me how would you like my steak done it would be "rare" like this Cuda' .

4speeds are BOSS Lou!

Well I'm glad you guys got to go for a ride in Chicago, without getting carjacked.

Loves me dis Cuda! Thoroughly enjoyed the ride. Dis baby gotsa wild rev n who doesn't love burnin rubber on a peel-out?! NOBODY! I could almost smell it... The HEMI on the back side is totally my fav part tho. I'd nearly not know it says HEMI it's rendred seamlessly. Its awesome lookin. Perfect vid, excellent story, sweet💪!!! Thanks

Good looking car. 😎👍

I was absolutely terrified watching it navigate between cars parked on both sides of the street, waiting for some car door to open or some kid running a stop sign!

Love me a Hemicuda!!

The clock still works! I’ll take it. Sold!

Thanks for another great review, Lou. So nice of that guy to take you out in that oh-so-valuable car (and in Chicago, no less!).

No disrespect to the Challenger but everytime i see a 70 to 74 Cuda in white with no vinyl top i consider them also a Kowalski car in which if i owned one then i want to dress just like him and go for a roadtrip. I think is because of the body style it gives me that sense of nostalgia that keeps me excited everytime i see one in this color.

The 4speed is ultra rare in this 1971 hemi cuda

Cool 😀

Probably the sexiest musclecar ever made.......

This is an amazing vehicle considering its originality. Really don't know if genuine leather was offered on Barracuda in 70. It was offered on the more upscale Challenger with the SE package. I hope that these wonderful gems can be outfitted with shoulder harnesses considering the unfortunate accident that injured Kevin Hart and his friends. I realize that his car appeared to be a low riding resto mod with a He'll Cat hemi. Thanks for sharing the video Lou.

Wow nicely equipped... Buckets, 4 speed, console, rally's, gauges, hemi. Put it with Dave B's (Now Evan Metropolis's) Orange and White interior 1970 Hemi cuda with 19k miles for a KILLER PAIR!

Phantasm brought me here

Ein Traum.

This car probably cost more than some houses in the US. It's probably about the same price or more than the average NEW luxury RV.

It’s been awhile since u did a ride

I would like to know how these cars are maintained, such as how often are oil and filter changes? Other maintenance like the need for fluid changes as the years pass by.

The chin spoilers seem to be a fairly rare option on the 71's.

What’s not to like about this car?! The 1971 hemi Cudas are my favorite!

✌😉 🏁🚘Merci mon Lou 🚘🏁✌😉

Gourgous Car !!!!

That would look good with a light bar , spot lights , and shields on the doors .

Great car wish it was for sale. If so...Big (Facts)...sure upper 70K to 90K asking price. Mopar/cuda power priceless. (Facts)

I have one just like that I bought it brand new in 1971 mine came with the rear spoiler and the window slats and the chin spoiler it's only got 45 miles that is because I only lived 22 miles from Mr norm. I still have it. No it's not for sale.

😮

Is there any possibility I can buy this specific car???

The data Plate is held with screws, Is that normal? Most Chevy and Ford data Plates are riveted?

Wow I had a 71 Challenger that had the same steering wheel.

This car sounds like it has higher compression then other cars you had on your channel. Do you no what the compression is it doesn't seem stock but the owner says it all original

Did you ask him what the "I don't want to sell it" price is? I'd guess $200K. I'd offer much more; the man's no dummy he'll never sell. I'd keep that car in a vault.

Nice colour and engine size......Snow White and the 7 Litres . Hi ho Hi ho , it's off to race I go ..... I run the Track and watch the Tach Hi Ho , Hi ho .

The only thing missing is an open country road.
