Gotta love the Cuda's set up....just flip up the rear license plate.  E-bodys at least, don't know about earlier Cudas.

Unless you're unlucky and get rear ended  :pullinghair:

I'm sorry, but I think we're making our cars just a little too idiot-proof.  Quite frankly if you've had your car anymore than 6 months and you have to constantly remind yourself where the gas nozzle goes, you probably, PROBABLY shouldn't be driving.  You scare me, get off the road!

Just my :2cents:

The gas tank is still in the rear with the Challengers.  The only difference is the location of the filler tube. 
Either way, getting rear-ended would prove fatal to the driver of the other car by me.  :villagers:

not correct on GF's 2001 Mazda 626 either. I think it would be great if they standardized that across manufacturers.

Doesn't work on a 2000 Honda Odyssey either...  :dunno:
1972 Dodge Challenger Rallye 340, AT, Code TB3=Super Blue, SBD=8/17/1971.  Yes, a Rallye without the fender louvers from the factory because of the body side molding option.

Folks with triangles are the chosen ones  :grinyes:

If it were purely an engineering decision, wouldn't all filler tubes be in one location regardless of make or model??  :dunno:
