Favorite year for Challengers, and favorite year for Barracudas.

70 Challenger hands down. RT or RT options, pistol grip and rally hood (never liked or cared for the shaker).

72-74 Cuda (without bumperettes) small block 4 spd.

Would love to build a Frankenstein, with 70 challenger dual front h/lamps , grille & valance pnl with t/signal lamps, but 72 Cuda rear for the round taillamps & Cuda rally hood. Wonder if that's do-able ?

anything is doable with a plasma cutter and welder.... whether it will look good or not is another question.

It will look awful. I had the idea of buying a '72-74 Challenger (because they are a bit cheaper than '70/71) and then put the front grille from 70/71 model. I thought it was a brilliant idea until I saw one yellow Challenger for sale with that exact Frankensteinery. It just doesn't work.

"Frankensteinery" I like it, that might be my new favourite word.

When I was a kid I knew a pair of brothers that built a "Frankensteinery" . It was a convertible with a 70 Challenger in the front and a 70,71? Cuda in the rear. I always wondered what happened to that "creation" ?

I remember a pink one at Carlisle in 1993. It was half Cuda, half Challenger...no pictures...sorry

This sounds like those bad trash movies "Frankenfish", "Dinocroc", "Gatorcroc" etc. :-D

This would have been in the mid/late 70's early 80's. I can't remember the colour though.

Looks fine to me. Should finish the tail panel, but other than that...

1970 for me  challenger. And cuda . In 1971  cuda very nice but with the extra driving lamps just a little to much . But great looking cars cheers
