Mike 1017 Posted June 17, 2022 Share Posted June 17, 2022 This is a replica of the $3.5m Cuda sold at Mecum Seatle 2014. The most expensive Cuda in the lineup but no options! No sport mirrors, no console, no spoiler, no pb or ps. Not 1. Drag Race a convertible? I can't find anything about the original owner. Plymouth did beef up the frame on Hemi convertibles. Drive the PCH top down. Oops too fast for that curve. This is box stock, painted with Scale Finishes Bright Blue, tires, wheels, hub caps and tire decals all from Fireball. Looks like I did not chrome the sill. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ATHU Posted June 17, 2022 Share Posted June 17, 2022 Could be mistaken for the real thing, especially in the last pic. Beautiful work!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TNT Posted June 17, 2022 Share Posted June 17, 2022 That is gorgeous. Not many convertibles on the race track, but i think ford had a 7 litre convertible built for the track, only 1. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

espo Posted June 18, 2022 Share Posted June 18, 2022 Beautiful looking paint work and the interior is realistic looking. The background story on this car does leave one to wonder what someone had planned for it, I think you may be correct that it would have been a drag Car, but why a Convertible with all the body flex?
