![]() ![]() Check out Wikipedia.comto learn more on the Plymouth Cuda. ![]() The Drivers line from M2 offers up classic vehicles customized with a modern flair. In this case, a big block 528 cubic inch HEMI V-8 has been carefully 'added', wild orange paint and some modern styled low profile tires/rims help fill out the modern look of a classic Mopar.

While I don't care for this take on the car (I've never liked the giant wheels/tires fad*) or the black bumpers, that opening shot is way cool. * = Still hoping it's a fad! |

I love 'Cudas. This is not the most attractive color / wheel / tire combo. |

I echo all what has been said above, especially the wheel/tire combo. |

New casting? Quick! Take it apart!

I think modernizing older cars is a tough sell. You have to have a good sense of esthetics to make it work. I think the main barrier is fighting preconceptions of how the car USED to look during the time period it was most popular. |

OK...I can go along with that, and I'm not altogether against customizing or a personal touch. I don't much care for the look of frisbee wheels with rubber band tires. Nothing against folks that do, they just don't do anything for me. Now, slap some Centerlines (big 'n' littles) or some Cragar SS's on there if you can't have stock hubcaps, and I'm in heaven. But that's just me, and I know my tastes are somewhat dated in that regard, but at least those two choices would be period correct. |

My feelings on this car: If it were the only Barracuda available in small-scale, I would be screaming for stock wheels and tires. As it stands, I am up to my eyeballs in various Barracuda castings, with numerous of them being very stock in appearance. As such, with my craving for stock more than fulfilled, I am completely accepting of more customized and modernized versions being available. Therefore, this one is still pleasing to me. |
