@@aarmancuda3570 True, but I think it would have given a clearer picture of the AAR as a whole if he had mentioned the entire production run. Otherwise, you're like the guy going "but it's 1 of 200!

I used to have a 340 in my VC Val, but ut was unrully, as soon as i fitting a worked 318 it was a different beast altogether. Much more refined more a cruiser than a racer.

I bought a '70 AAR cuda, yellow with black stripes, and I notice the common warp in the hood, I could see my spark plugs without lifting the hood and I had two hoods replaced. God, I wish I had kept it.
@budlanctot30602 жыл бұрын
That's true. Many, if not most, AAR hoods are warped/bowed-up and don't match the fender top profile very well. I know mine is bowed-up and was that way when I picked it up with 9 miles on the odo.

The carbies are not original, they should have centre pivot float bowls and the outboard carbies do not have metering blocks and are vacuum operated, not by mechanical linkage.

This is a pony car, not a muscle car. Its chassis is more compact. Pony cars could go around corners as well as drag race. To keep costs down, Chrysler’s new-generation Challenger is built on a mid-sized, not a compact chassis. It is too big. And it lacks the original’s fuselage design, where the rocker panels fold underneath the body.

And the fender tag shows this was a light green metallic, formally called “Lime Green Metallic” with code FF4, but not the lime green everyone thinks of for Mopar in 1970 which was “Lime Light” code FJ5. Great color change for this AAR to orange and the interior color change from F8 - Dark Green Vinyl to X9 - Black Vinyl was also a good choice. Somebody hated Green on Green. 😆
