I love purple MoPars!! Imagine my excitement when I saw the new release! A friend of mine made a trade with me so I could get the new purple Cuda!! I changed the wheels to get rid of the 4X4 look and now imagine my disappointment when I saw the gills on the passenger side were tampoed on the door instaed the fender where they belong!:(

I wonder if they are all like that.
That is/was my favorite AW car.

Hmmm....looks like you may have found a very obvious factory mistake. Look at the promo sheet in this auction, it's the only one I've seen showing the car's right side...

That would just bug the heck out of me. I would have to try and fix it and end up making it worse.

It is not a factory error, its a design feature.... Look at the Promo Shot (I borrowed this one from Motorcity Toyz)http://i34.photobucket.com/albums/d107/jack0fall/Img183.gif
Now the ones that will be "special" will be the ones that were painted correctly... :D

Yes, but the first few e-bayers that bid on these won't know that.
Great....one of the only damn bodies they make that I might want and they are screwed up..........
