    Need pics of original/proper AAR's...thinking of doing a clone. Have questions..
    « on: October 27, 2006 - 08:30:00 PM »
    Please post pics of original/properly restored AAR Cuda's. I have a 318 Barracuda that needs a cool strobe stripe down the side  ;)

    Just a few questions:

    - Did they all have 15" Rally wheels?

    - All had rear quarter antennae's right? They were electric? Are there repro one available?

    - Best place for hood and spoiler repro's?

    - Were they all black stripe cars?

    - Any repro exhaust, or just get one built?

    - Are they the same grilles, just painted black?

    - Best colour to paint? (I plan on driving it for a few years, and selling later. Easiest colour to sell/most appeal?)

    Thanks!

    Here are some answers from what i can remember about them, i've owned one in the past:

    1) Every AAR I've seen had rallye wheels, some t/a's came with steelies, so probably a few AAR's did also. I might be wrong on this tho?
    2)Yes, all rear right quarter mount antennas, all fixed (no power)
    3) there are a few out there, see e-bay or year one or the paddock
    4) yes, all black stripes on AAR's
    5) again, see e-bay, year one, the paddock, etc...it's available repo
    6) same basic grille, but has diff trim than the Cudas, shares this trim with gran coupes IIRC...I'm sure someone has a pic they can post
    7) thats a matter of personal taste, I like EB5, FC7, or FM3, especially with white interiors.

    A guy in my Mopar club has an AAR with under 40,000 original miles.  These are the only pics I have of it.

    Thanks. Nice products, little pricey though.

    Very hard to build & recoup investment - best is 2 break even when selling particularly if u do the car right. :working:
