Never, ever argue with an IDIOT. They will drag you to their level and then beat you with their years of experience

I've never understood why some people think that by adding a few trim styling parts they're turning a Dodge Challenger into a Plymouth 'Cuda. laugh2

Would anyone ever think of putting "Cuda trim parts on a 1970 Dodge Challenger????
Obviously no.

Plymouth is long dead and gone whether anyone likes it or not.

Badging a Challenger body with "Cuda trim parts doesn't make it a "Cuda.

I agree with everything SNK-EYZ said but even beyond that- This is a 40 year anniversary Hemi Cuda tribute to a.... 1983 Oldsmobile Cutlass? Mind blown!

We used to make them with 'Cuda quarter panels, would you like it then? We quit doing the quarter panel change after we had issues with them later on. We were just trying to give people what they wanted, those who thought Chrysler should have brought out a Cuda instead of a Challenger, can't please everyone... shruggy

The funny thing about science is that if you change one miniscule parameter you change the entire outcome to the way you want it.

I remember when they tried the same thing with the new Camaro.,,,and tried to make it into a Bandit Firebird. This car looks worse.

Just because you and I may not like it does not meen someone else won't love it.
I am sure it will make someone's day when thet get it.
ASS FOR EVERY SEAT.
And I know one thing I would never tell the new owner if I saw them other wise.
That's my biggest pet peeve. I have been places where guys have me thinking, why you belittled the owners whatever?
Someone may not like my tatse so be it, I may not like yours.
I did plenty work over the year's that was top notch work but was ugly to me, but the person I did it for loved it.
Over the years 50, 60s, 70s and 80 produced some strange custom cars and it never stopped.
I must be strange but I look at a "custom anything" and appreciate the quality of the work done if done right.

There's a difference between a custom car and trying to poorly make one car look like a different model car.

The Fiero's that have a Ferrari attempt body kit on them fool NO ONE. laugh2

I'd rather look at any custom car than any attempt of making a Challenger look like a Cuda.
None of them yet actually fool anyone into thinking it's a Cuda.

There is a man who needs this car. He looks like.
Blue jeans, silk shirt, gold chains, buffalo cow boy boots, and a BLACK cow boy hat.
And sunglass at night

Either way it is not for me. puke

Mr. Norms was building these starting in 2008, and had 1350 HP Challengers before Dodge decided to supercharge their cars from the factory in 2013, almost have caught up now...LOL. Have any of you driven one? You can still have them built the way you want them instead of cookie-cutter models from Dodge, I guess hot rodding really is dead if you guys don't like them... frown

If you're store buying it already built, it's not really hot rodding.
That takes the owner making modifications.

Trying to dress up a Challenger and calling it a 'Cuda isn't really much different than a a man putting on a dress and claiming he's a woman. laugh2

Ok, think what you will but every one was custom built to match what the customer wanted, try to find two identical. It's not like buying a store built Viper... wave

All 3 Vipers that I've owned I started modifying to personalize them from the day I bought them. laugh2
Assorted performance upgrades BTR Nitrous/propane kit, exhaust, etc.
Anything to make them faster or look better paint work (stripes).

I've done the exact same thing with the Challenger SRT that I have now.
Kinda like the modified 69 Dart GTS that's a factory 383 auto big block car that has a 451 stroker in it. drive

I didn't buy them already done so I could do it myself.

That's hot rodding....
