There is a humanitarian side to this.
While Dave was making his decisions about his 'vision' for this, he had a brain tumor.
So he was not in his right mind.
He created multiple accounts here to agree with himself, argue with himself at times & he also insulted others, myself included.
The more the cancer progressed, the more angry he got towards others. The admin & moderators here did a great job of removing his posts / multiple accounts when he was having angry episodes.
His widow came to the Carlisle show after his death & sought me out to apologize for his behavior towards me.
She knew that his cancer affected his thinking, so did I so I bear him no ill will.
May he rest in peace & I hope his family remember the good times.
Cancer sucks, no matter who it eats into. I just started this to let members know the car was coming up again soon. I understand some members not liking the end result. I never spoke to Dave or had any interaction with his business so I can't comment on him personally. Sorry if this has offended anyone.

Wow.... in this day and age of WHATEVER. Folks should just relax, were just car guys talking about a car and giving light opinions.
Many know about the struggles DW had and I do not see anyone here showing any disrespect to anyone. At least from my chair all posted is just honest thoughts and info. Unfortunately great people in hobby/business are leaving us for the next chapter, its just how life works.
How much was the wheelbase changed?

Cancer sucks, no matter who it eats into. Well said Barry. Cancer does affect a person's judgement and thinking. I can personally attest to it, as a very close family member went through this, before they died. I appreciate his hard work and effort into his dream. Just not for me, though.

I've often wondered what a second generation E body might have looked like. I figured it would be based off the B body but as a shortened Cordoba.

I knew Dave was sick with cancer, but I didn't realize he was dealing with it during the build. Knowing this, maybe the doors were used 'as produced' to save time and effort? (thinking of the time it would take to modify the doors themselves and their glass).  Much respect to the man and his vision.

Could the car even be licensed and titled to drive it? What is it actually titled as with the VIN number what it is and how it was built? Often wondered about that.

Seems I recall a story about how the 68 Roadrunner was such a hit, somebody in sales wanted to make it a package available on all 69 B body Plymouth. Including wagons.
This car strikes me as a similar theme.

He created a VIN for what he though it would've been had Chrysler actually made the car. It's not a real/legit VIN, nor did he attempt to pass it off as such.

I watched a vid last night where a collector in North GA had that car and many others from that collection.
Looks a bit better in a semi normal setting. He briefly talked of some of the changes over reg. cuda parts. Much more then Id thought was done/changed.
Id probably drive it.
