Default gorgeous cuda

Just found this absolutely hot 71 cuda that took out the good guy's 1st place this year. i'm not the biggest fan of classic muscle you'll find, but i can appreciate the glory of this thing.


THE REST HERE

the car is sensational, although i dont understand lowering the car so much that the top of the front fenders have a bulge in them to accomodate the wheels. there isnt a clear pic but it would look odd.

I would not say it was a copy, I think he was going for something like this

The New Dodge Challanger and the 71 Cuda or the Sick Fish and the 71 Cuda

Or do you mean the three cars are similar? : :1syellow1

I would say the two cars are similar but not copy's !! :hihi:

What seeing they have the same stance and the body has had the same mods done to the shell, Eg tails lights. I would call that a copy. Not many people would think to do they extact same mods to a shell. :

If you knew anything about Bob Johnsons Cuda, you'd know that its built completely differently to "sick fish" and is an altogether technically far better build, with more hp and potential for 200mph..... and the brakes and handling to back it up.

The "Sick Fish" was a finalist at Sema what else do I need to Say. I don't think Bob Johnson car ever made it to Sema. So I do not think it is technically far better build. I still stand by my first comment they are both orsome looking cars.

Sick fish = lots of stock or off the shelf underpinnings, big wheels and some custom panels.

Johnson's Cuda = Pie cut shell, tonnes of custom fabbed components... Johnson's car is reasonably new, not sure if it was at the last Sema.

You are so Wrong. Go and get the Rides Episode and watch it. Then I will accept your apology. Again Bob Johnson appears to make some nice cars but they are not at the level of fabrication that Rad Rides do. I just wish I as the talent to do all that fabrication work my self.

Bought SM last night. Seen the car before (I think there was a pic on the back page in a previous SM at SEMA) and I spent a good 10 minutes wiping the drool from the corner of my mouth.

I love Cudas, and that one is simply breath-taking. I'm with blueoval... "sexual chocolate!"
