    LMC SuperCuda
    « on: March 27, 2014 - 03:22:35 PM »
    Did anyone see the Legendary Motor Car episode on how they made the SuperCuda................OMG what a marvelous piece of engineering that thing is.  Wondering what some of the opinions are here.

    Car was built years ago for a friend of Peter Klutt, Mark Kellet. Same guy bought a Superbird from me back in 1999.

    Great car, I saw it a few times during the build. :drool:

    Understatement....It wasn't much cheaper then the "red" car they were racing on TV  :2cents:

    If ever you head down to Legendary Motor Car it often makes an apperance in the show room. Last time I was there They had a Pagani parked where the super cuda was.

    My one complaint about the super cuda is the paintjob. In my opinion it's awful, Never been a fan of Chip Foose's paint work.

    If you get a chance to go in the restoration shop they are currently building another viper powered cuda another more money than brains project and I can't wait to see it complete.

    Too bad Peter backed off at 208 and never found out the top end of the Cuda.

    Although I wouldn't like to get lift at that speed either! Need to work the downforces just like the SuperDaytona!

    Same here!  I like much of what Foose does with his cars, but his choice of multiple colors is not one of them.  I get that's his thing, but OK been there done that, again & again.....

    Yep..cool car.

    But I am not sure I see a Foose type paint job.  looks more like a factory paint job too me, minus the AAR stripe!
