Herb McCandless 1971 Hemi 4 Speed Cuda Convertible NHRA SS/E comes home!

Some information before we send the car off for restoration. Going to do something a bit different with this one. I think once we're done, you'll absolutely love it.

You are the best son ever. To re- collect your Dad’s old cars and restore them so your family and the public can enjoy is definitely a labor of love. Good luck having everything restored. Your Dad is a legend to all his many fans.

Love the idea of making the Cuda a street car again. I'm doing the same with a '71 Challenger. With dragstrips closing up everywhere, it's the only way I will be able to enjoy it. Good luck with your project

I was surprised to hear that car was sold and even more surprised to hear who got it, pretty cool to go full circle.
I helped put it together when the racing stuff was taken out, cool to see go back but sad at the same time as shawn ott who painted it passed away not long after

Spent many hours staring at the image of that car in the magazines.

That's an awesome idea to "resurrect" such an original and unusual drag race car as the "Brooklyn Heavy" Hemi 'Cuda Cnvertible was. It was much more interesting car than cars like Pinto, Vega or Omni... The Pro Stock evolution in 1974 was mainly marketing idea than a true drag racing. Great video!

It's going to be SUPER COOL!
Will you be using the CRAGAR S/T's?

Hey any reason why it was a convertible? Or is it just what was available at the time
