Can anyone confirm if front wings of a 70/71 cuda are the same as a 73?

Thanks

Mark

No they are not, 'Cuda in '71 was gilled, others had different marker light styles but could be adapted I guess.

Last time I looked Challenger fenders were approaching $600 each secondhand

Cudas I assume will be more.....and gilled 71's more still!! (don't think they all had the gills did they?). I'd snap them up......

Same shape though, just different marker light holes.
Mark the wings you talking about one is a Cuda and one is a Barracuda wing, neither is Gilled as the gilled one has been patched.
they will need work for you marker light wise

Goodmark are "test fitting" the Challenger fenders at the moment. Whatever that means.

The cuda fenders will come. We waited ages for the Challenger rear quarters to come out and when they did everyone was very impressed.
