Bringing the ‘Cuda name back for a one time guest appearance would represent true heritage that Dodge is basing all the variants and would pay homage to a great car line they once made. I realize it would be a challenger with the Plymouth ‘Cuda treatment, but isn’t that they way they were from 1970 to 74. The only difference would be slight body panel variations and grill finish panel trim. The original ‘Cuda was actually 2 full inches shorter than the Challenger by removing the 2 inches in the floor pan area in the back seat area. If they did the ‘Cuda treatment which is doubtful, they almost certainly wouldn’t remove 2 full inches on a small batch run.
Anyway it certainly would be one hell of an exit strategy. I would take mine with a robust 426 Hellaphant and their garage door jug juice program, Tremec six speed manual T6060 beefed up, with pistol grip, moded shaker mounted to the 3 liter IHI blower poking through hood, Go wing out back, 1970 style Hemi Hokey stick stripe. or the AAR ’Cuda logo. put the side trumpet exhaust from the original T/A challenger where it belongs, take it in any Godamned color possible preferably Torred, flat black treatment. Nice to dream!
