mysterious location
The location of this automobile rarity is kept under wraps by Ryan Brutt. He just says "it's somewhere far out west". Even the identity of the owner was not revealed, although he appears in some parts of the video. With all the mystery surrounding the discovery of this lost car, the channel's audience was at least able to glimpse the car, which despite being very worn by time still has great potential for restoration.
The Plymouth has been under the hood for longer than anyone knows, but the owner has owned it since 1975. Thanks to a trail of clues that started with Google Earth and Google Maps Street View, the youtuber found the target. A close look at the stadium lights in the background and the colors and shapes of the roof finally revealed the resting place for this neglected “Cuda”.
About Plymouth's 1970 Hemi Cuda
Few vehicles get Mopar car lovers as excited as a 1970 'Cuda'. It's not quite a unicorn, but with only 666 vehicles built, it's a rare classic that commands attention. While the 1970 Barracuda had several V8 options, sitting on the throne was the 426-cc Hemi.
The Hemi Cuda, with its power of 428 horsepower and a speed of 209 km/h, was the third generation of the famous Barracuda model. It had a forward weight distribution, front disc brakes and a four-speed gearbox, and was shaped and finished like a pistol.
