The concept "third generation Cuda"

Chad Imthurn wrote: the 1980s concept Cuda was in Mopar Collectors Guide. The white one had red stripes running down the sides that looked exactly like the stripes on the AAR cudas, except that they said CUDA instead of the the AAR shield. The red car had black stripes with black interior and the white one with red interior. They also had the rear window louvers as well as the full ground effect kits from the Shelby Chargers. Both cars were used for a driving school after they were done and I think that the red one has disappered and presumed crushed.

The guys who created the 'Cuda drove it around Chrysler HQ and everbody liked it except for one man... Carroll Shelby. He didn't like the idea of Plymouth making their own version of the Shelby Charger and he felt that it would take away the specialness of owning a Shelby Charger. Since Chrysler didn't want to offend Shelby this early in their relationship, the Cuda was quickly dropped. No offense to Shelby but he was the reason why there would be no Plymouth 'Cuda in the 80s.
