Default RE: 08 Concept Cuda Review

ORIGINAL: BadStratRT

perhaps someone should point out that the challenger has ONLY EVER BEEN a rebadged car??

the original challenger was a rebadged plymouth cuda...which had been offered for 6 years by the time the challenger was released, and the late 1970s challenger was just a mitsubish galant lambda, turned mitsubishi sapporo, rebadged.
They were very similar cars, but werenot necessarily an example ofpure rebadging. The Barracuda's wheelbase was 2" shorter than that of the Challenger, and the sheetmetal was not interchangeable between the two cars. They looked a lot alike though, and no doubt shared most of the underpinnings.
