A New Take on Hemi Tribute Cars

[DeathProofCuda]

This is a first for me, a Hemi tribute car that doesn't even have a Hemi in it.

I bet a flipper got a old of that added some fender gills and billboards and gave it a quickie paint job and left the black engine bay.

Nice looking car though. Says fresh paint. I think I would have fixed the ding in the quarter panel by the passenger side marker before hitting the paint booth. And if that was missed....how thorough was the rest of the prep?

  Soooo I suppose this would qualify as a HEMI CUDA Tribute as well??

I am not sure why but this really makes me laugh!

Drivers quarter body line, lower fenders and lower front passenger quarter all look to have some really bad bodywork - like I said it`s a flipper stuff and squirt special or a previous owners bad amateur job.

Very weird - "Hemi Tribute" without a Hemi??  I do not understand how some people think no one will notice..  I hate seeing these ads with fluffy written nonsense or the history of the Barracuda - like that is going to distract you from the fact that you can't polish a turd.

BUT - there is a seat for every ass.... and some ass will buy it for sure.  I would have more respect if you just called it out for what it is. The reality is finding any 70-74 Barracuda that isn't a basket case for $50K is not so easy these days.

I do like the color combo though, nice looking car from 20 feet.  Low resolution pictures and poor lighting I think are hiding a lot of gremlins.

That one will need $30k worth of work to be worth $50k!

[70_440-6Cuda]

isn't that most project cars?  Put in $100K for a car worth $50K?  That has been the way I have always done it!

As the saying goes, how do you lose $100K in the classic car hobby?  Start with $100K. 

To be honest, I bet I will be in mine for $150K, and we all know it won't be worth that when it's done.
