Idles a bit high eh ?

[samspace81]

@12salem its pretty radical, but still does great on the street.

Some nice cosmetic features? like tail lights, head lights, grill, fenders? Might have been easier to start with a 71

[samspace81]

@CHADIEB They never came this nice.

Put the original wheels back on

@surf403 No offense to you, but its a '70 with some nice '71 cosmetic features ;)

Hey what did you guys use or fab for a panhard bar for the XV setup?

[TheGraphitte]

Any way to bottle that sound? Guys demanded muscle from the car companies and they delivered!

@flibidyflob it make not be a true hemi cuda but i can pretend ,lol.the hemi came out of a wrecked 70 road runner.

I've got to agree here and I know a bit more than a little about the costs of building cars. This is not $300k of car, maybe if you started with only a piece of paper and had to pay $200k for a workable body/chassis to start from but we all know even a basic Barracuda with a slant six doesn't cost anywhere near that to aquire. What exactly is under the hood? Sounds pretty tame under throttle when it should be really jumping alive.

@TheHemiphil81 No offense intended but you may indeed have a '72 Cuda with a Hemi in it (assuming you're telling the truth) but you do not have a '72 Hemi Cuda. No big blocks were offered after '71, least of all the Hemi. Can't call it a Hemi 'Cuda unless that was how it was built at the factory. Anything else is a Barracuda with a Hemi in it and not a Hemi 'Cuda.

If this is just a "tribute" or replica car then if $300k was spent on making this car, which again I say, it is nice, then someone really got taken to the cleaners. Or maybe I need to get back into the biz. It's nice but there's nothing $300k special going on here.

[rc01010101]

$300k into this car? Seriously? I mean it's a nice car and all but that's not $300k of work, not even close, not at all. Now if this was a real '70 Hemi Cuda then one would have to ask why it would have a '71 grill and front fenders? Also if it was a real from the factory Hemi Cuda you'd have to ask why it's been altered like this when it would be actually worth so much more stock. Maybe it cost $300k to make like this because a fool started with a real deal and fucked it up like this? ...
