I would love to see a mod top Daytona, just to say I have. I'd also love to see an FY4 AAR Cuda because it was an option, but I don't think anyone chose that color/none were made


It was on the registry I posted above: http://www.mooresmopars.com/modtop112.html

I absolutely love this car and I am excited to see it done for 2014.

I like them. We've had good response to them when done in 1:18 scale, as all are sold out. They were done on Darts, Cuda's, and a Coronet R/T (in 1:18) if I remember correct.

I think I would get tired of it after 5 minutes of owning it.    :2cents:

I'll agree they are interesting to look at, but wouldn't want one in my garage, even in 1/18 scale.

There is a place nearby with 2 1:18 mod tops in stock. I have had my eye on them for a while now.

If I had a few different Cudas then a mod top would be cool as a take it out once in a while car, but not a daily driver

I love the oddity of them and I knew where a 70 cuda was sitting years ago with a yellow floral top. I'd be embarrassed to drive one though. If I owned one, it would probably stay in the garage.

Back in the day, a FM3 car was considered a bit gay :eek7: , but i bet plenty of people would own one and drive one know knowing how rare and more valuable that color option is :drool: , i see the mod tops in the same light :thinkerg: , they will continue to increase in popularity and value as the years go by, i can be one of the people who can honestly say that i have liked them before they were cool. :bigshades:
I have seen a shirt that says "I WAS IN TO MOPARS BEFORE THEY WERE COOL" and i live by that moto, i have had nothing but Mopars all my life and Mod tops are a very cool part of the Mopar history. :clapping:

I almost bought a real FM3 dart over the challenger because it was pink I love the out-there mopar colors. I'd rock a mod top every dat of the week. It would be a great conversation starter at car shows.

I find women love my car for some reason, I could only imagine the trouble/attention a guy could get into with a pink one! :lol:  I'd drive one, no problem. Not my first choice but there are worse color options IMO?
