Saw the car this morning, it looks great. Unfortunately I don't think it'll happen. I don't see a market for both the Challenger AND Cuda


I'm so pissed I forgot my camera this year

Plus, they already killed off Plymouth as a brand and there is no place for the Cuda as a Chrysler.

The Cuda was a Chrysler.

EDIT: at least that's what they said on a show that was on the History Channel earlier about personal collections where they were showing Bill Goldberg's car collection.

Yea, it looks like a Charger as far as the gauges and center console (I used to work at a Dodge dealership so I saw a few).

That instrument panel and center console look like they belong in a dump truck.

I'm going to guess the interior is just a mockup. The car is a concept; and the Challengers interior is night and day better.

As read on that picture site:
Sorry Carscoop, you have some bad information concerning this car. The car is privately owned by a gentilman from California and was built for him by Metalcrafters in California (same company Chip Foose uses for some of his work). The owner started out with a 2006 SRT8 Charger and had it converted to the Cuda you see before you, it was converted from a 4 door to a 2 door and had the wheel base reduced to 116 inches, the drive train is stock SRT8 6.1 Hemi and the ENTIRE body is formed of carbon fiber. He was invited to display it at the Mopar Performance display at SEMA. Chrysler did not design this car nor do they have any plans to produce it.
