I just received my 70 Plymouth AAR Cuda....
Folks, it's a HOME RUN! It isn't often that I can rave about a Franklin Mint car, but this one is on par with anything that Danbury Mint has given us in recent years.
Regular posters know that, I'm hard on FM here on the forum, but not this time. They captured 1970 to a tee with this litte Cuda, and brought me back to the year I graduated from high School.....and I wanted a car like this soooooooooo bad. Thanks FM for giving me my wish.....what took you so long: 
Mine is #92 of 500, and is already on my display self looking absoulutely awesome next to my other Mopars. For those that haven't ordered this one.....what are you wating for? With a limited run of only 500, this one is going to go fast.
Don't be sorry....call Legacy and get yours now!

I'm curious, Does this one have the "vampire teeth" front fog lamps? The earlier cudas had this problem, and I noted the latest '71 hemi cudas have this corrected. but Tony's
pics of the red AAR has the "teeth" back. By "Vampire teeth" I mean the fog
lamps are incorrectly mounted directly on bottom of bumper, and hang on long
stalks. they look absurd. see Tony's pics of the FM '71 hemi cuda convert and
compare with his AAR pic, you'll see. I have to hope against all hope that DM
will do the AAR, then I have something to be very happy about. I too have
wanted a 1:1 AAR cuda, or T/A Challenger since I was 16. I'm pretty old now, so
that's a long time..........

I think we need to thank Tony at
Die Cast Reproductions for listening to the collectors for getting the stance of the AAR right. It is my understand he also paid for the upgrades for all the parts that are only seen on the AAR Cuda. Thanks Tony for bring this rare car to market. Oh yeah, in previous post I mentioned I could not tell what the color actually was with all the different picture I seen on the internet. I am happy to say it is a beautiful Rallye Red.

Simple fix, just park it against a parking lot cement bumper....

I've got one of each. Both keepers because I've waited forever for them. 🙂
