Saw these pics online of a car show in Ohio. Lotsa work went into this one. I know nothing about the car other than what you see, there were no photo captions.

The only cuda that looked good with a wing is Corky's Cuda.

I do like the color.

A lot of work went into stretching the wheelbase, adding a modern drivetrain and all the body mods, but in the end, you still find yourself asking, 'Why?'

Not at all to my taste but it wouldn't be so bad without the wing. It just doesn't look right on it.

Nope. It's a hate/hate thing. Well, maybe with a bit of vomit mixed in.

'67 is an abbreviation of 1967
67' is an abbreviation of 67 feet
They are not interchangeable.

Definitely would be better without the wing and I don't like the wheels

With the 6 bolt pattern and Viper wheels I'm thinking they put it on a Dakota frame....

Someone put a lot of work into it.
The wing needs to go.....

Kayse can't keep up at all now. lol

Yes, I agree also, the wing needs to go. If he had just stopped right before he put the wing on it would be a decent custom. The fender flares look much better than the current ones coming out of the factory. twocents

Don't like the color, don;t like the wing, other than that it's nice.

But that wing looks almost photo shopped, look when it meets the trim atop the fender.

Well, the guy had an idea. Too bad his taste was in his rear.

I'm thinking the guy made use of a wrecked Viper. V10, 6 bolt very wide wheels.

The wing doesn't fit the car theme, but maybe he didn't have enough time to paint it to match the car.

Not something I'd want, but looks like he did a lot of work to make it fit together.
Bet its a fun driver.

What a hideous toad.
Early A body cars are handicapped with ugly bodies anyway and this guy made it even worse.
I'd drive a AMC Pacer before I'd sit in that turd.

The best selling Barracuda was the 65, go figure.
