Hey, I'm out of the loop,  but if these were for real, it would sure make things easier.

That's a pretty big LOOP you're out of....they been available or at least talked about for ten years or more....I don't think they ever found a market for them...not sure how many actually sold, or whether or not they are still available...
Have you never noticed the picture of them in Roseville's banner on THIS website ? Since this site has started ? Maybe @MoparDave has some insight on the details ?

I told  everyone when I joined, that I've been under a rock for 20 years.
That car in the roseville ad just looks like a car on a jig, so who knew?
Why hasn't anyone bought one?


anlauto

I don't really know...I think they REALLY missed an opportunity by doing the Challenger instead of a Cuda...The Camaros, Mustangs, Tri-five Chevs, and of course pick-ups sell like hot cakes...70 Challenger not so much  :dunno: Around here, based on what's available and the phone calls I get....I'd say everybody wants a Cuda !

I agree with Alan. They dropped the ball with the challenger thinking that the other challenger was sooo popular that they could get away with it.
Had they done a cuda I think it would have taken off better.
You can go buy a new challenger so it hurts the old challenger body.
Can't go buy a new Cuda. 

I wonder why we have not seen one rebuild onto one of these bodies on either of the e body sites.   Not one thread that I can recall.

Exactly, I've never heard of one being built, which leads me to ask if they've sold any ?

I wish they did it with a non-A/C firewall instead of the A/C. 
Contrary to the opinions of some, I am not dumber than I look.

On the shells, or in general ? 'cause you can get both, or even a blank one  :alan2cents:

supply and demand, there was limited supply for little demand. And the bigger issue is title process from state to state varies. I would have to chat with Dynacorn and see where they are at if they are or are not doing them. Last i heard it production was stopped.

I didn't know that.  I always see them advertised with the A/C firewall.
