New Hemi 'Cuda Convertible

[FordNut]

I shot these at my tuner's shop the other day. He's going to work with Mr. Norm, that's why he's closing down his GA shop and moving to Chi-town.

Notice it doesn't have any Plymouth badging (or Dodge, Chrysler, Daimler, Fiat), just 'Cuda.

BADAZZ!!!

I always loved that "HEMI" rear quarter paint scheme.

[n00bkiller944]

IMHO that car is uglyyyyy. Like i love the idea of the car itself and I even like the lines (sort of) But that color is wayyy to out there for me and im only 18! Plus the rear looks like a piece of plastic...

[FordNut]

That color is right out of the 70's. Banana Yellow, I believe. Mopar's answer to Grabber Blue?

[MrBluGruv]

Was this car like an aftermarket conversion from some shop of a Challenger?

[FordNut]

Yes, Mr Norm's, and I was told it's approved for titling as a 'Cuda. Kind of like the aftermarket performance shop conversions of the '60's and '70's.

[MrBluGruv]

Nice. I definately wouldn't mind a hard-top of that in Plum-Crazy Metallic. ;)

Pull out the check book! You can probably get one with a Kenne Bell already installed.

the rear quarters should be "flat" black, I believe they did this back in the day to make the back end appear bigger/more muscular,
I don't think this modern day verision needs to look any bigger
it's allready a pig with all that rear sheet metal.

I still think the car looks cool.

I believe the quarter treatment is flat black on the black ones.

Came across this list of Mopar colors for the '69 and '70 model years:

I remember seeing all of them at one time or another with the exception of "Panther Pink."

FWIW, the retro 'Cuda is bad azz, but then if I recall, just about anything from Mr. Norm was bad azz back in the day.

Looks like a challenger with a different grille and taillights. Oh. It is. I'm bored now.

Plus, I prefer to stick to a car composed of parts made in four countries, not eight. No Plymouthchryslermopardodgedaim lerfiathemibarracuda for me, thanks.

[RoyLPita]

It would've been cool to have a matching '70 front end to go with the '70 rear end. Instead, the front is a '71. But it looks good for what was done.

[MCAT]

I believe the quarter treatment is flat black on the black ones.

no, flat black is correct for all the colors

[FordNut]

no, flat black is correct for all the colors

I was referring to the new ones.

[LOWBUCKMM]

i have already seen that car at a all mopar show here by my home town. looked pretty stock for the most part. but the rear end was not what i would have thought it to be but it was ok.

Now that is sexy!

Wasn't there a catch-me copper and a blue bayou?
