- 1970 drag race hemi cuda muscle car
There's a reason why those old-school Hemis are considered legendary.
Nice racing. The last run surprised me. I thought the lesser weight Hemi Cuda would eek out the Hemi Coronet R/T. Nope.
Nice. My top two fav classic muscle racing. Only one year off of both, then it’d be perfection.
Pick your poison.
Pick your poison.
My era, thanks.
Those Cuda's are no joke. My friend has a few of them.
But remember, oLd CaRs ArE sLoW.
So awesome... Races 3 and 4... fantastic!
Yep. It's a pretty spectacular collection. Behind it are two GTO Judge Ram Air IV 4-Speed convertibles. And just past those is a 69 Trans Am 4-Speed convertible. Did I mention the pair of Yenko Camaros and the 69 Camaro Indy Pace car, one of two built for the race? Oh and he also owns what I consider the crown jewel of the collection- the "Dick Smith" Cobra. It's good to be the king!
The '70 Cuda 440-6 and 426 Hemi are my favorite muscle cars. Thanks for posting, OP!
Wow, that would be something to see. Several multimillion dollar classics in that collection. And some stupid rare cars too.
Pick your poison.
Wow, those cars are making an honest 500hp
What are the mods on the Hemi?
It says pure stock muscle car drags. I believe they are pretty strick on rules. Its not like the F.A.S.T. racing. I think they are only allowed like digital ignition 2.5in exhaust. Maybe a cam? They are just really really tuned well. The F.A.S.T. class is a bit different it's factory appearing stock tire. Those are completely worked motors bored and stroked, tons of port work very worked over stock carbs. But they have to LOOK stock on outside. Hemi's tuned and running right are no joke those heads flow really well and older mopars weren't that heavy they were unibody cars.

That Trans Am vert is one of EIGHT produced. That's EIGHT... as in the number after 7. 4 of them were Auto's and 4 were 4-speeds. Talk about rare. Your friend has a sick collection. WOW!
it has a custom camshaft with stock specs as allowed by the rules. the cam must spec the same as stock when measured and still pull vacuum like stock. basically, it has faster opening ramps and thats about it. here is an interview from bab k about the hemi cuda:
if you want to beat him, call him up. he'll tell you his exact engine specs. hes a nice guy, well respected, and was a kid living right by tom hoover growing up. bobs other name is mr. six pak, for good reason. he A12 roadrunner is faster than the cuda.
He says it's the nicest of the four speeds. Who am I to argue?
