    I don't know.  After going through 170 pictures, the car started to grow on me.

    Kind of cool.  Kind of weird.

    So just looked up their site and was shocked it was restored back to a Charuda. Uhh I first thought why would someone do that to a cuda but the bigger why is WHY would they restore it back to that thing!!!  :swear:

    to each his own. the problem with mopar people is that everything has to be restored exactally

    how it came from the factory. that thing it totally 70's custom. i like it and i'm happy they left it

    that way. especially because of it being documented on how they found it.  :2cents:

    As opposed to what? Letting a rusty and complete but original, 1971 Cuda sit in an abandoned Garage in Austria? Complete and original, but just sitting...The ONLY reaosn this thing made it out alive is the fact that it is "Unique"...

    Growing up during this time, I've always liked the looks of side pipes on cars & vans.  The best by far was the multi-tube variety on 60's Vettes, but these look good too because they go with the rest of the car.  I agree with those who think this is part of history, and should have been restored to it's 'original' look.  My 70 Roadrunner that I bought in 74 when I was 15 was already modified with Hooker Super Comp headers, Stewart Warner Stage 1 tach, U.S. slot mags, etc.  So for me, that is how it came 'originally'.  Restoring it back to factory fresh would be going back to something I never knew.

    Later, Jim

    It needs a bigger wing.  Then it could be called CudaDaytona or DaytonaCuda
