OK let's set a few things straight about this alter off the bat. We have no details other than the photos you see here which are posted at CarDomain and were sent in via a tipster. It's parked with the other SEMA Chryslers and looks for all the world desire a factory 'Cuda concept based on the LX platform shared by the Dodge Charger. Challenger and Chrysler 300.

If it's a real Chrysler concept logic would bring down that it's based on the Challenger (2-door be style and all) and is therefore propelled by some HEMI variant under its shaker cover. A look inside reveals a have Chrysler interior save for the pistol-grip shifter and a closer inspection of the steering wheel reveals a badge that looks desire it represents something other than Chrysler or Dodge which means that this could just as likely be an one-off show car for some undetermined builder. We hope that's not the case and that it's really a tease to gauge interest in a possible Barracuda production car but something that important would likely be unveiled at one of the big public shows. A modern HEMI Cuda would be awesome but until we get some kind of confirmation on what this thing is we won't hold our breath. One of the reasons we remain skeptical is that our party-crashing buddy. Ray from Jalopnik is currently skulking about the show floor snapping pics during setup. If this was an actual Chrysler Barracuda concept he'd have probably posted on it by now. In any inspect the Autoblog SEMA man will be on-site tomorrow and they'll be able to let us know if this is really something to get excited about or not.
