I seem to remember a fair bit of controversy over this one, so...

Perhaps there's a reveal party for those who are on the "yea" team...

...and a revile party for those on the "nay" side.  :shruggy:

Finally some pics. Lol. Nice work.
Just one question, why a four door without a/c.  How did y'all pic what options it would come with?

That is funny, I noticed that too! I know the car is never going to be a driver so maybe A/C was omitted because it clutters up an engine bay?
I like the choice of the Magnum/Road wheels.  Looks great. I wish I could have seen it up close.

After doing the Challenger in 2008, I realized it was very difficult to find nice NOS A/C components.  It wasn't an option that we felt was necessary with a "performance" type 340 Engine.  We decided to go with some options that were a bit unorthodox for a Barracuda.  There were not too many made with a Bench Seat and a Column Shift setup.  There were ZERO built with a Tilt Telescopic Steering Column or Redline Tires.

Just incredible.  Congrats to your whole team.

Man, that turned out spectacular, nice work! :cheers:

Looking that that front seat...I think I have the same one, just in white. It came with my yellow project Charger (just tossed inside), and I had no idea what it came from. I was assuming an A-body, but now I'm thinking an E-body.

The Aquamax...yes, this bike spent 2 nights underwater one weekend. (Not my doing), but it gained the name, and has since become pseudo-famous. :)

That look so good it looks Photoshopped.  Awesome job.

Lighthorseman

That is simply outstanding craftsmanship.   :2thumbs:

That looks awesome. Love me some four doors.  I don't feel like searching tons of pics but do most four doors have the door windows higher than the windshield?

Any possibility you'll be making posters or anything like that?  I'd like to have that last picture hanging in the garage.  :drool5:

I love this build, amazing craftsmanship!

Thanks!  We had everything set up for Jay Leno & Bob Riggle to do the unveiling but Leno had to leave early.  Instead, we had a local Las Vegas radio "celebrity" do the introduction and things proceeded without a hitch.

Dave,

Congrats on the finished project !  It looks every bit of stellar as I thought it would turn out.  Considering its a 4 door, I think everything is exactly proportionate as it should be just like it would have been on any other 4 door car that I've seen. 

How was Jay Leno?  Was he as down to earth as he appears to be on TV?  What was his thoughts on the car? 

Way to make history again, my friend !

I saw Jay Leno at the Van Nuys  Spring Fling several years ago. I was with 2 friends, he was with a guy. I pointed to Jay who was about 30 feet  away and said to my buddies...HEY, that guy owes me FIFTY bucks! Jay was fast to respond....Yeah, thats why I'm walking THAT way!as he turned between cars and kept walking.

Really excellent work!



That said, I see why they didn't build it!  (But I'm glad you did.)
