Those have been floating around for quite a while. I think it's hideous. It's also not an E-Body. :)

I really like the one I posted much better...even though it looks like a slightly modified challenger......but then again that's what they were like in the 70's anyways

I see your point.  Although, I think the car sold at Barrett is trying too hard to be a '70.  Not enough design innovation.  The '70 Cuda was a groundbreaking muscle car design because it was bold, new, different, etc.  Taking styling cues from predecessors is good, 're-do's' ...mmm...not so good.  But, then again, it's all preference at the end of the day.   :)    I'll take my '72 all day long over all of 'em anyway.    :bigsmile:

I just hope if they do build a new cuda it is a lot closer to the 70 and then it would sell a lot better and look a lot better to me anyways.  Nothing like the 70 and I am glad I have one.   :stirpot: :2cents:

The one in the link just sucks out loud!!!!!!!  It looks to much like a new Camaro. The Orange one posted looks cool though.   :2cents:

If they do make one I hope it is more like the 70 design and I do not like the brazilian one.
