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. 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.
Kayse can't keep up at all now. lol

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...

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 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! 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.

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. 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

Yeah, not a fan, but I wouldn't kick it out of the driveway. Biggest problem is $125K ?!!! For that money I'd be pursuing a Demon 170 ?!! Probably couldn't catch one though! 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...

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.

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...

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. 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. I didn't buy them already done so I could do it myself. That's hot rodding....

Absolutely the worst, dumbest, most clueless conversions ever.... This I can agree with...
