Worlds fastest street legal Cuda at Barrett Jackson Auction 2007

[antilles2000]

i gotta say i'm just not into it.  just sitting there it looks like it would handle... not so well.  it's only worth what someone will pay for it.  someone probably likes it, but i'm certainly not that person.

All I know is I checked this car over very well at the Nats this past year...I don't care for the large rims, but this thing sounds great rolling down the freeway!!!  We were going the opposite direction in a car with a loud exhaust, yet we still heard him slamming it through its paces!!!

It's more a testimony to where the car scene has been going. Much higher quality, much higher potential, and the greater chance that it either cant do what it is billed as/built for, or never will because of investment worries. It was built to look cool, it was not built to cruise at 190mph. I'm only critical of the "billing", not the workmanship or execution. It's a little overstated for my taste..but that's me.

How can you call that a 'CUDA when every part has changed or been modified ? I don't think anyone can name 5 parts that are made by Plymouth.
Maybe the windshield

Someone mention fast Cuda's?

I think they said they chopped the front pillars down a bit. So the windshield is probably custom or modified at the very least.

It just doesn`t look right,choppin a big tall `30`s-50`s sedan makes a cool hot rod but choppin a cuda just doesn`t do it for me.

Motor looks sweet car is     

what the he!! did they spend 1 million on  ??  I can imagine what could possible make that a million dollar cost, no NOS parts (might be able to spend a million on a nos or lunch box resto hemi cuda) but a custom ? Who did they over pay ? lets see recipts.

15K hours  must have been a union shop  1 guy working 14 standing around. so its realy 1k hours.

All the little details add up to lots of time. It's definately a Cuda..you cant mistake it. But it's one person's interpretation of what they should have looked like. I think it's a great car. Just not right to bill it as "worlds fastest..." until it earns it. And not by having a big name drive it or have it go fast on the highways. Does that make the Petty Blue Superbirds that the King signed all his race cars because he sat in them, talked a little, and autographed them?

THAT CAR LOOKS LIKE A$$!!!!  Hahahaha I pity the fool that spent to build it and I pity the fool that's gonna spend to buy it. 

Someone asked, "why spend a mill to build a car then sell it off so fast?"...

1 - It looks like someone stepped on it.  (can that front wheel clearance actually work/handle/not be a joke?)
2 - It drives like a loaf of bread. (see video)
3 - In five years that look will be as dated as vinyl splash graphics on lowered mini-pickups.  (still subscribe to Mini-Truckin' Magazine, anyone?)

Eh.  I couldn't even use it as a parts car, they've hacked up all the sheetmetal!  Pass.

When I talked with the owner at it's debut at last years SEMA show he was telling me the "Theme" of the cars build was toward an early 70's Funny Car style. I think they pulled it off quite well! I would'nt call it a corner burning G-Machine, but I still think it's cool as H and at least it's unique unlike so many other "Me-Too" big billet wheel equipped custom Cuda's out there right now.
