The '71 'Cuda was really the last and best of the breed. There's something special about that car...
Yes, it is special. A friend of mine drove a 'Cuda with a slant six for years, then stored it. When I saw it next, it was around three years later, and he had completely refurbished the car. Seems he'd been collecting parts for some time, so when it rolled out into the sunshine again, it was a dead-on clone of the AAR 'Cuda, right down to the 340 V8 and pistol-grip shifter.
There are certain cars that just "look right". The style of a number of such cars: '63 Corvette Sting Ray, "Mako Shark" prototype for the C-3 Corvette, the original Z-28 Camaro, the Corvair Monza ('66, I believe) and the Boss 302 Mustang were all the work of one gifted man: the late Larry Shinoda.
