True, but now the Challenger is also in the works. Like you and the Firebird/Camaro, I wish that we could have gotten a retro-modern Barracuda instead of the Challenger. The 1970-74 'Cuda's single-headlights, IMO, looked better than the Challenger's quads.

Agreed on the Challenger/Cuda. The new Challenger does look pretty sexy though, and I did like the old challenger that they used in Vanishing Point(I only saw the Viggo Mortensen one however).

I've heard rumours of a new Cuda in the works, supposedly to replace the Challenger, which has lagged behind GM and Ford in sales.

Interesting. I hadn't heard that. It will probaby have to go under the Chrysler name, though, like the Prowler and PY Cruiser did when Plymouth folded.

I've been waiting for decades for a retro Road-Runner, with the bird-cartoon graphics and Beep-Beep horn. The original one was fun but just too poorly-built. When Plymouth folded, I partially gave up hope on one.
