Filmed in a rushed twenty-minute window before sunset on a friend’s brand-new Canon 5D Mark II, this orange 426 Hemi Cuda clip captures both genuine wheelspin and an unusually honest behind-the-scenes account of its own making. Tags hint at a wider garage of Mopar and Pantera builds behind the uploader. See the footage, and the small piece of early car-video history it represents.
Plymouth built the 1970 ‘Cuda on an all-new E-body platform designed specifically to house its biggest engines, and dropping in the 426 Street Hemi produced one of the rarest muscle cars Detroit ever made — just 652 examples, split across three transmission choices. Nine outrageous colors and the shaker hood completed the package. Read on to find out what actually separates a genuine numbers-matching Hemi ‘Cuda from a well-built tribute.
