The personalized body is entirely made of carbon fiber and rises on the foundations of hell
–>
- A personalized Cuda reversed restaurant is on sale, based on the Dodge Challenger SRT Hellcat.
- The conversion has taken 3,000 hours of work and is the fourth of the 10 examples to produce.
- The muscle because will pass under the Hammer at Indy auction, after having failed to sell in Kissimmee.
If the idea of a Plymouth Barracuda with the performance and manipulation of a modern muscle car looks like your dream driving, then this creation may well be the one for you. It is a Hellcat Dodge Challenger of the new age transformed into a Cuda double in 1971, and it is ready to cross the block for the Indy auction of Mecum in May.
The construction began its life as Dodge Challenger SRT Hellcat in 2022, but this is where the resemblance ends. The whole body was reworked to adopt the aggressive and nostalgic lines of the third classic Plymouth Barracuda in the early 1970s, which itself shared its platform with the challenger of that time.

The body is made from pre -impregnated carbon fiber, with a CNC machine at the front. The quadruple LED headlights are postponed from the challenger, but the rear lights have been reshaped to correspond closely to those of Cuda 1971.
The reverse restaurant is finished in a personalized pink metal shade, with light carbon accents on the hood and the rear wings. It rolls on alloy wheels in three black pieces, with pink brake calipers for a touch of color.

Moving inside, pink seams and accents inside the cabin correspond to the exterior color, offering a playful contrast with black leather pad. The carbon fiber accents, a star pavilion head and Alcantara are in the lower dashboard, the central console and the door cards complete the sports atmosphere from the interior.
Performance remains strong
Under the hood, everything is Hellcat. The muscle car keeps the 6.2 -liter V8 V8 engine, providing 707 hp (527 kW / 717 PS) in the form of action. Although there are no levels of mentionable performance, it has a personalized exhaust with double exhaust tubes mounted in the center. The car has only 55 miles (89 km) to the odometer – as far as it is very new.

According to the list, the transformation would have taken more than 3,000 hours of work and is number 4 out of 10. Although Mecum does not mention the manufacturer, the Cuda seems to be the creation of six twelve car worx.
Interestingly, this personalized muscle car failed to sell during the Mecum Kissimmee 2025 auction in January, despite a highest offer of $ 275,000. The seller now hopes for a better result for Indy auction in May. For the context, a Violet Inspiration Challenger from the Cuda of the same manufacturer sold $ 310,000 for the Mecum Kissimmee 2024 auction, although it is based on the Hellcat Redeye, not the standard Hellcat.
In addition to six CUDA of twelve auto worx creations, another company called Modern Classix also converts the challengers to Cuda lookalikes with a different body kit. One of their constructions sold $ 160,000 at Mecum Indy 2024.
