Rare 71 Cuda Convertible to hit auction block....4 million dollar car!

[Cooter]

For that coin, better come with some land in Beverly Hills right next to movie stars, a butler, and about a 15 car 'barn/shop"....

Maybe thats where its going.

Maybe thats where its going.

May-be, but I can't live in it.

[Ghoste]

Or eat it.

no, wrong... the one I meant it was a 70 also ragtop and also Blue on Blue... claimed to be the first Hemi Cuda coming out from the line. Last owner known being the same than the last Hemi Cuda out of the line (71 white ragtop too ), claiming to worth 5 millions

The very first 70 was the red on red "Franklin Mint" car. A friend sold it to Carlos M years ago. Carlos also had the last one...the white 71 you mentioned. Roger Gibson had them at his shop at the same time for restoration at the time. I had my 'Cuda there at that time as well and I got to have a long look at both of them.
Bill W. then bought the "bookends" during the restorations. He has since sold them off.

No one goes crazy when a Ferrari sells for 9 million. These rags are uber rare and it's the old supply and demand thing. If I had the money - I would buy them all......then invite everyone over for a "weenie" roast.

Ferrari is a little different though so its a tough comparison.  They do actually go crazy when they sell for that much but most of the crowd applaud such records.  There are still a few old school Ferrarista who wag their heads in disgust.  You are quite correct about the rarity Jim but my fear is that it will fuel another bubble.  Good and bad to that but I'd hate to see clones bringing stupid insane money again like 07.

Bring on another bubble....so I can sell most of my stuff (I am well past my marital limit - lol!) and just sit on the porch and strum my guitar.

[Ghoste]

   You can't sell them until I get up there and drool over (around) them.  I found a solution for the marital limit too but I don't necessarily recommend it, its rare for the husband to make out as profitably as I did.

[maxwellwedge]

I'm not that lucky! 
Come on down any time.

Cooter, you have one opinion and your always right. The only one saying dumb shit around here is you.  I am proud that one of our products ('Cuda) can make such high publicity and demand a premium buck.  What's wrong with that. ?
Peace out.

cooter is always right, in his own mind, he wont budge you tell him your car color is black he will tell you its red and that will be final its red.  When he does not have a answer to any post he posts with a questions to the answer and then replies back later one, 'see that's what I said you just don't understand'    I learned to ignore some of his postings, but it is fun to read though people thought for awhile we were entertaining me and him going back and forth, but I got bored.

He is very helpful though when he wants to be....

did you hear the original owner in the video, 'If I sell for 3 million im gonna have to buy it back in 5 years at 4 million so I want at least 3.5 million to take the reserve off'

[Cooter]

Yawn.....oh I'm sorry, was I boring you?
it's ok 74, most of my knowledge and expertise is lost on many.
It must really suck when I usually have the answers to most of your questions....
