You almost can't tell the difference!

I'd see it as more of a clone of the Challenger they did on Overhaulin' in season 2.

I'm just saying.. see how close the '06 and '70 Challengers are? Why bother? Ahh the new Challenger just pisses me off.

It would still be more appealing than most of the trash on the highway today in my eyes. I would however have made changed body lines. Cuda was better anyhow.

Agreed, the 'Cuda was a better looking car. I loved the TV show Nash Bridges just for the car!

Same here.

Course, Nash's daughter was "easy on the eyes", too .

Ugly paint job, ugly wheels....Foose's stuff is so formulaic.

I like the '71 Challenger styling a lot though, second only to the '70 as far as my favorites (I've always liked the Challenger over the 'Cuda, though the Cudas were pretty nice also).

Interesting you should say this. I only saw one show. He redid a first gen Camaro or Firebird (forget) for a soldier in Iraq. He used a rear quarter paint graphic that looked remarkablly like the Cudas and had seats put in it that had Cobra embroidered into them.

The car looked great but as a GM enthousiast I would be quite angry if someone put Mopar graphics and seats that said Cobra on them in my classic Camaro or Firebird. I just didnt get the creativity angle involved with those decisions. Excellent work otherwise.
