definitely a lot of work. I guess a Gen Xer might trae in his Fast and Furious Civic for it.

I remember this one from SEMA.  I remember commenting that the design and workmanship were really good, but all that excess makes the fact it's a Barracuda almost irrelevant.  I'll bet a good chunk of the people looking at that car just assumed it was a 68 Camaro.
Yes I own a 1972 Dodge Challenger Convertible T/A S/E with a 440 Six Pak. Can it get any more wrong?

Love everything about it, have to appreciate the attention to detail.
Would have left it a hardtop though, don't like the open top.

I know I should be more P.C. and say to each his own, but YUCH!!!  :puke:

Taking an irreplaceable car and 'crafting' it into that might include a lot of incredible details, but to my mind a huge net loss before to after.  :2cents:

Yea nice craftsmanship but doesn't compliment the car for what it is and should be. Should've done it to a new challenger that are a dime a dozen compared to cudas  :2cents:

It's at times like this I feel particularly bad for selling my cuda. There aren't that many of them out there, and some people are just set on ruining them.
Cuda is gone :(

They ruined the car in my opinion I love the restomod look and the pro touring look but his things is just to far gone from the original look.

This is a much nicer looking build IMO.  I don't like everything about it but overall it turned out really nice.
