Question Hack Job

Look up 1973 Dodge Challenger R/T TA Tribute 440 hp on youtube.
The guy put a 440 magnum in the car, then on the hood has PLYMOUTH?s 440+6 callout. Not a tri carb, and not the same manufacturer, at least he could have put the Six Pack call out on it, right?. Then, he has R/T emblems on the sides, and a spoiler with the T/A emblem on it. Lastly, he threw rallye gauge trim in. Its a nice restoration, but jeeze, dont just pull parts out of a grab bag- but thats just my take, what do yinz think?

Seen that alot,each to their own I guess, my car is just as bad: '73 Barracuda painted like a '70 cuda AAR w/ AAR hood,spoiler except the hood is painted yellow,not black and it has a 440 motor. The only reason I bought like that was because of that 440,race 727 manual valve body,3.91 gears,frame connectors NOT for it being a bad clone!

Seen one on eBay like that, it was a 74 Duster with every emblem
you could think of on the fenders and dash? In his ad, he claimed
it was a "Duster R/T 360ci 4bbl Something, something, something"?
lol - The Ser# was for a Duster w/318ci 2bbl.

My favorite is when somebody says "my uncle had one just like that".

John, don't sound that bad- them AAR Cuda's have sweet paint jobs and there ain't nothing wrong with havin a little extra punch under the hood- but if your cuda had a six pack call out on it, some challenger badges, etc, it'd be a different story. After that car I wanna put some 572 Hemi badges on the side of my Dakota sport V6, then put a Daytona wing on it. Then I'll deck out my charger in superbird graphics, through a wing on it too, and put it up on eBay as a Plymouth Superbird w/ 426 Hemi<== ( I'm gonna have one of these in my charger eventually, for now, the 528 Six Pack will do)
