Correct me if I'm wrong, but isn't that car a recreation of the original paint chip Cuda?

I thought that I had read that the color chip side was a series of wraps done recreating the look of the original car. shruggy


Kayse can't keep up at all now. lol

Yes you are correct.

Wellborn ran across the RT brochure at his museum one day and wondered about that Cuda. Was it real? Turns out it wasn't. But that was no reason to keep him from recreating it. So, he got his hands on a 1970 Cuda and had it restored to recreate the Cuda in the advertising material.

I helped build that 'Cuda. I put (for about 24 hours) about 5 grand of my own money into it. I wish they didn't make up the whole story for TV. But it is what it is. I have some behind the scenes pics I think I can post.
