FRAUD ALERT '70 SIX BARREL 'CUDA: VERY UPSET CUSTOMER WHEN MARK TELLS HIM HIS CAR IS A FAKE! 

The line is drawn between “I did it” and “a competitor did it”.

Ever see him substantiate ANYTHING? No he just says shit and you swallow then ask for more.

Every video they have is click bait. False title. I think they like that cuz they find fake cars

Probably if you have the VIN tag, it’s all you need since it seems better-than-OEM panels are available for the body.

​@@brianbarney1885 You need the VIN tag and than the key areas that have stampings that have the same numbers as the vin. If you have the assembly build tags those are not always with a car. If you have numbers matching car starting in the late 60's you will find the serial/sequence numbers will be on the engine and transmission as well and they will be the last 6 digits of the vin. Those numbers will not prove the car is origional and not fake if they all match. If they don't match than it proves it is not all original.

Don't need even 5%. All you need is structure of some sort that's original. Just gotta prove the part is original to the car. Mark has receipts, pictures before and after the dip, a license and reputation the DMV would take as good.

I believe the frame and firewall are the key requirements

It’s all metal that can be replaced

I'd like to see how, specifically, he managed to keep the VIN attached to the car. Otherwise, fraud.

Fraud is a rebody passed off as original. I looked at a 1968 or 69 ( long time ago, memory foggy) dodge dart that was built from an original 383 car that was wrecked. It was not represented as original so perfectly ok

Building a car out of a roof,you mean only Mark could get away with it, anyone else this would be wrong .

Ever see this clown substantiate anything? But you believe him why?

Not really that much different to every “ reality” show that plagues TV these days.

At what point does a build like this go from being a restoration to building a replica out of aftermarket spare parts. Unless the vehicle contains at least 51% of its genuine original parts it not a restoration.

Do you watch any other shows, like 2 guys garage or all girls garage. If you did you might see shows sponsored by Hotshots and Lokar. Those shows are exactly what you say. Commercials posing as a show. This is not that at all. Its become more about Mark and the interactions with his staff , than about restoring cars. On builds like this its way more than a restoration and more of a type of remanufacturing a car, when their is so little of a car thats left.. with so much scripted shows claiming they are reality , this one is as real as it gets this is a real shop doing real work for real people. Except the production crew following them around with video cameras and boom mikes all day. That's normal right???

Make that the late 60's and early 70's. The era of the Hemi Cudas and Challengers, T/A Challengers and AAR Cudas, and the 440 SixPak cars. I was lucky enough to drive a T/A Challenger in high school, a 340 SixPak, 1 of 1200 produced.

Start your own you tube channel, then purchase a graveyard car.

Except an extra 70 lbs

@@MidnightPolaris800 wtf?

Nothing wrong with coloning a car as long as they don't try and miss represent it when trying to sell it.

​@@milla698he's smart for showing the serial number and story on his show to keep his back free from any future angry buyer

It’s all about VIN Numbers

They did not win a race in Trans-Am mostly because they had five weeks to prepare two cars to compete as AAR. Dodge had two. Mustang and Camaro had been racing in Trans-Am for many years. The Cuda did win pole position in two of the races. Shows it had the power and handling in the short run. More years under its belt would of beefed up those parts and made it more enduring. But Plymouth pulled out after one year. And Swede Savage did pull off some 3rds and 4ths during the season. Challengers faired better. They are basically the same cars. And on the street the AAR and TA Challengers easily held their own. Even against big block GM and FOMOCo. cars. And today when it comes to value. They auction at high prices. Looks are timeless. Other than the Trans-Am Firebirds you don’t see Trans-Am specific Mustangs or Camaros going to auction. Mind you have to get a Z28 or GT350 to get to the same level. And Mopars are fewer so more dollars go their way.

Commonsense a Rare thing these days ...the engineers initially just made the parts to FIT not understanding REAL world use - which is commonsense

Cars like washers and dryers. Refrigerators and dish washers are designed with a certain shelf life. They want to sell more. That durability is set low on purpose. Many years ago 60s and 70s they built appliances and cars to last. Technology was years away from higher tech fluids for engines and transmissions. Better fuels that can clean deposits and burn clean. Compression came up with the quality of octane. Fuel injection keeps air fuel ratio really close. Also overdrive transmissions with computers puts the rpm optimal. So we get what they dictate we get. Not exactly what we want.
