Does anyone know what happened to the Crazee Cuda? I heard it was in a private collection in the Midwest somewhere, has anyone seen it in the last 10 years?

It seems to have dropped way off the radar. I am surprised no one has seen it or knows of its whereabouts.

Wow great stuff! These are some very significant Mopars that I wish would come out of hiding. I met Lee Smith at Fred Engleharts show years ago in Elkton MN. Those shows that Fred put on were the greatest collection of Super Stock Mopars in one location that I have ever seen. Maybe the Wacky Wagon and the Crazee Cuda will come out again?

Fred currently owns the Wacky wagon, as I saw it at the BG moparty this year with him. Also chances are if anyone knows the whereabouts of the Cuda it would be Fred.

I kind of figured he would know it's whereabouts, I should give him a call and see. He used to post on here years ago...
