All engine management electronics were utilized from the donor Challenger for ease of tuning, maintenance and troubleshooting. Suspension, brakes, gauges and all audio equipment are top-of-the-line components. Nice paint work and numerous styling modifications are topped off by a custom black cloth power convertible top. The interior was done in black leather with a full custom state-of-the-art gauge insert in the stock dash. Custom-fitted, special-order wheels were supplied by Fesler with 18” General tires to finish off the look of this ‘CUDA’ For stability this car is riding on a new Pro-touring K-Member with tubular upper control arms and adjustable coil overs and sway bar.
