Default Mopar Enthusiast Makes His Own Modern 'Cuda

Can someone making their own Firebird out of the new Camaro be far behind?













The car belongs to Curtis Macintyre, owner of Liberator Motorcycles in Colorado. Metalcrafters was contracted to execute the build, as they did with his previous 'Cuda recreation last year, except this time he wanted a convertible. Both were made out of Chargers.

Looks pretty nice. When I frst saw it I was wondering how he got a Challenger and had all that work done so fast. Then I saw it was made from a Charger. That's a lot of work!

That is incredible. Though I would prefer green and flat black

I'd pay ALL the money for that car.

It looks better in your photos than it does on the original set. That car has to be shot from the right angle I guess.

There is a company working on 'Cuda body parts for the new Challenger too. I'm sure someone out there will make Firebird parts for the new Camaro too.
