Did you know a 71 Barrcuda body will slip over an '01 Viper without it's body? Don't know why you'd not be happy with either, and want both in one car

They made them at http://www.timemachinesinc.com/pastcustoms/71vipercuda/ 6 years ago, just an extra floor structure, wheel tub work, and add a couple inches to the Viper frame rails to extend the wheel base for the cuda wheel locations.

Wrecked Vipers are the speciality of X2 Collision in Maryville Illinois http://www.x2builders.com/default.asp

Jay Leno talks to Don Prudhomme about the 70 Hemicuda and transporter





Via: http://oleragtop.blogspot.com/ ( Jon finds cool stuff!)
I'm even just as amazed at the toy! Pretty cool!

This video starts with about 20 seconds of commercial, so quick, go get a cold drink to enjoy while you watch!

For a photo gallery of Don's hemicuda and transporter that I took at SEMA: http://justacarguy.blogspot.com/2009/11/don-prudhommes-funny-car-hauler-1967.html

I also recommend you take a look at Tere's post, Don invited her to hop inside the hauler as he showed her how it was restored: http://justacargal.blogspot.com/2009/11/sema-celebrities.html

1 of 59 Hemi Cuda's, 4 speed, and it's the most heavily optioned 71 hemi cuda... found in a trailer park

Muscle car review, April 2009 issue, page 18-22

Found in 1989 by then just hired editor of Muscle Car Review, Tom Shaw, the price was 2500. The sellers were behind in the payments on their Hyundai, so they sold the Cuda, which wasn't running very well, and was rusty.

It had mismatched rims, the hemi had been lost and a 340 was in the engine bay, and billboards had been hand painted on. But it still had the spoliers, the bucket seats, and the rear window slats.

"Only 107 Hemi 'Cudas rolled off the production line this model year, and of these, only 59 were equipped with a 4-speed manual transmission."

For the full gallery and write up of this car at a 2008 auction listing when it sold for 328 thou to collector Bill Sefton http://www.russoandsteele.com/collector_car/1971_plymouth_cuda_hemi_coupe/7462.html
