Yes.

1971 Hemi Cuda Convertibles can go for up to $5 million.

Well, the Hemi Cuda 'verts are so high, I guess the 440 6 pack guys want to get in on the fun.....

I imagine parts for a 'Cuda are hard to come by. You gotta be talking at least another quarter mill to restore it.

I like how the lug nuts are rusted solid to the rims. I wonder how hard its going to be to get the wheels off.

and sit there and sit there and sit there, he bounces at Tommy Foxes in Bergenfield and Bradys in Ramsey, when the weather is nice he usually takes the purple people eater.

His friend around the corner has a 95 LT1 with all this work, he brings me overther one day to see it, we go in the garage and there is a origional 1970 Hemi Chellenger with 4900 miles on it sitting in the back of the gerage. Im like damn yo

I also see a powder blue Superbird driving around by me in the New Milford Dumont area

My father has a 1969 X77 camaro that he wont bring out of the garage, I dont understand people, yeah the thing looks pretty, but what the point of having it if you are too worried to enjoy using it.

True story, when i was 17 i kept asking and asking and asking my father if I could drive his camaro, typical answer, No, No, No... so on my prom, my date is over were taking pictures, my father is going to follow us over in his camaro to my buddys house to take more pictures, he hands me the keys and says here, drive it over to your friends house I'll be following in your car, im like sweet, grab the keys and get in his car, ya know how the old school seat belts are tucked up in the head liner by two clips, he has them all neatly tucked up there, i go reaching for the belt, he stops me and says "and what the hell do you think your doing?" i said "putting on my seat belt" he says "There is no need son, because if you smack up this car, and dont die in the accident, I will just have to kill you later, one way or another your ass will die" and then he says to my date "but you can put yours on honey" got to love um

Haha, nice story, alamantia.

I just showed this auction to one of the guys I work with. He used to have a '70 'Cuda that he sold back in 1981, in perfect condition...for $1,000.

If God himself came down to you right now and said I will grant you any vehical you want, it does not have to be yur daily driver but you must take care of and and use it, what would it be.

Id take a Hammertone Blue 1967 Chevelle SS 396, M-22 (4-speed) and a 12 bolt 3.73 posi with the black delux interior.

It wouldnt even have to be a numbers matching 138 car, Id actually prefer a clone with a 454 and 396 badges so I wouldnt be scared to drive it, yeah that would be my jammy for sure. 67 chevelle

It would be either a 68-69 L88 Corvette, 1970 LT1 Corvette or 1969 GTO Judge.

I STILL kick myself for passing on the 69 440 six pack charger I could have scored for $2500. Granted, I was younger and had no idea how far I'd go with resto crap... but still...
