My son owned this Cuda, but being in the Military, it was hard for him to complete the restoration, so I purchased the vehicle from him and now we both are still working on it. It has been a long process so far and will be some time before it is completed. It is far from being an original restoration. It has been completed taken apart, sandblasted, new body parts installed, and etched primed black. The front end is an Alterkion with adjustable shocks and springs for controlled ride, been dropped 1". The engine is a Generation III, 6.1 Hemi stroked to a 426 putting out 587.4 HP at 6200 rpm and 497.5 ft lbs of torque. At 5200 rpm it produces 538 HP with 543.4 ft lbs of torque. The acceleration test was 600 rpm per second. The engine has 5.7 ported Hemi Heads, a 7 qt oil pan, and is equipped with a Fast EZ-EFI system with a 1000 CFM throttle body. I installed 6.4L Hemi ceramic coated headers with 3.5" collectors. The transmission is a Phoemix PT4L60ESX Chevy 4 speed rated at 650 HP. It is cable operated and uses a computer to speak to the engine computer on when and how hard to shift. The rear axle is a Dana 60, 410 positive traction with Prolink rear suspension. The brake system is Wilwood disc front and rear. Front discs are 14" and rear are 12". I have installed 20" American Racing Wheels and Extreme ZR Nitro-NT555 tires, front 285/30ZR20 99W and rear 275/30ZR20 97W. Hotchkis subframe stiffeners are welded into place. The front seats came from a 2010 Challenger with 8-way power with AC and heat. The console is also from a 2010 Challenger. All new glass has been purchased with power door glass. Front headlamps are Rampage Halogen, H4, 55/60 while the tail lights are all sequential LED. The paint is 2014 Dodge Challenger Billet Silver Metallic with AAR black trim and a Cardinal Red strobe stripe. The exterior has 2010 Challenger heated power mirrors, the side markers and door hardware has been removed and I am installing poppers. Both bumpers have been pulled in and painted to match the body. In general the chrome has either been removed or painted to match body color. The hood is AAR fiberglass, AAR rear spoiler, along with a front lower spoiler. I have just purchased Vintage A/C to match up with the Gen III Hemi compressor. As you can see, a lot of work has been completed, however, I have a lot more work coming. I have attached a few photos.
