Remember the pink (Moulan Rouge) Hemi Cuda? Guess what IT'S worth now...

[ChargerBill]

I know the guy who bought this Cuda last spring... He doesn't say exactly how much he paid for it, but I've heard it was around $600K, and all his family and friends thought he was crazy. Well, I saw him this summer at hagen Perk and he didn't have the car with him. Asked him why and he said that he's afraid to drive it now...since it was appraised at $1.6Mil +. Now remember , that was 2 months ago that I saw him and 6 months ago that it was appraised so I'm sure it's probably at 2 Mil by now....crazy stuff! In fact, he has 2 HemiCudas and a 440 6 pack Cuda and won't drive any of them...so he decided to take his 383 Cud Vert and put a 528 Hemi in it to drive around...problem was, he was offered $140K for it at the show. He joked..."I can't even drive THIS one now"... can you imagine having all those cool cars and not being able to drive ANY of them?

I am completely amazed at people's willingness to pay astronomical amounts for cars in the first place, nevertheless cars that weren't that high of quality when they came out.  No offense, Mopar friends, but I'd rather a Deusenburg than a HemiCuda.  I do like the pink of that car, on a Cuda NOTHING looks bad.

I see no reason that car would be going for $2 million. I mean yes its a HEMI Cuda, but come on people. there are more HEMI Cuda's than there is total 69 Daytona production.

demand is their for a cuda and not as much for a daytona.

My dumb car is starting to be worth a bunch now and my girlfriend says she is afraid to drive it around and she doesn't want me me to be as free with information as I am, telling people where I live and putting the vin out there and stuff.   But I just, at this time at least, refuse to let its value change mine.   Sure, the value changes some things, like I will likely wait till I move to a no income tax state before I sell it or do a 1031 exchange, but I still drive it around.   It's not a damn shrine.   It will be nice when I retire though and use that chunk for a house or something.  Kim

I wish I had his problems!

Shoot, I forgot to mention that THIS car is a Survivor...probably a pretty important bit of info when speculating it's value.

[69_500]

I realize that it is a survivor car, but I'm just saying that there are plenty of HEMI Cuda's out there. I'm not sure what all the fuss is about. In reality there is as many 70 HEMI Cuda's as there were 69 HEMI Charger R/T's, but you don't see them going for $1M, and you can't say there isn't a demand for 69 charger's right now. I mean when I see GL clones with 318's selling for $50K (which is stupid if you ask me) what do you think a true HEMI 69 R/T is worth?

[TheGhost]

can you imagine having all those cool cars and not being able to drive ANY of them?

I know EXACTLY what I would do in his situation.  Sell the cars off, and use the money to buy some clones.

I'd sit on them another year first.

[69_500]

If I had the money to purchase those cars in the first place then you would have enough money to drive them. I mean consider the price of the car is over $1M right, how much does it take to completely restore one of those cars if say it was to be in a wreck? What would it cost, to do a total restoration? I'm saying you couldn't spend more than $250K doing a total perfect restoration. So why not just drive the darn car the way it was intended to be driven.

Whoever said rich people were smart.   Its nice to have toys, but at some point, common sense has to kick in. Dosen't it?

[Old Moparz]

Screw that pink POS & all the money it takes to buy it.
