This is a little off topic but still fits the general theme. If Joe Dirt cloned a Superbird.

Both cars are extremely ugly. I'm a huge Mopar fan , and I have never thought of a 70 superbird as a good looking car. It was built to compete in nascar and while the front, wing and back glass were ground breaking in the day, they made for one ugly car.

I think the nosecone and the high wing compliment the new Challenger well.

But the red hockey stick stripe doesn't work with that wing installed.

I tend to agree. The Superbird (and Daytona) were cool because of what they were, not because of how they looked. Yes, the nose & wing played a major part in defining what they were but it was a case of form following function.

Plus, unless its built by Plymouth its not really a Superbird (and likewise, there is no Trans Am without Pontiac). 9 times out of 10, when someone takes a modern production car and 'converts' it into a similar classic it looks ... off.
