[WildBillyT]

Yes.

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

[Tru2Chevy]

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

[alamantia]

thats why i drive a camaro

[LS1Hawk]

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

[Tsar]

any exotic > that

[Rafterman]

its really getting ridiculous, but boy are those things sweet once its all restored.

[Firebird67dude]

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.

[alamantia]

my buddy in washington township has like 6 rust bucket 1970, 71, 72 mopars, I think like 4 run but thay are all beat, I have suggested that he sell them all and buy a small country or at least sell them all and get one realy dope 71 hemi cuda or something but he seems to like to have them sitting in his driveway getting rained on, hey, to each his own, god bless um

I've seen those cars. All they do is sit there.

[alamantia]

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

[LS1Hawk]

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.

Yeah, real Z/28s are commanding some decent coin as well.

[Bandit]

What I find insane is the "knock offs" are getting more then some numbers matching cars now.

[79CamaroDiva]

i wonder how much my dad's superbee will fetch one day... hopefully some decent coin.

[alamantia]

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

[enRo]

its really getting ridiculous, but boy are those things sweet once its all restored.

:werd: Ill take a Plum Crazy 70 'Cuda plz =D

Where at in washington township?

[alamantia]

Actualy, i forget the name of the exact street come to think of it, but right near the police station behind the Lukeoil station, formerly Mobil

[LS1Hawk]

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.

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

[unstable bob gable]

I'd have to go for a 97 Viper GTS, blue w/ white stripes. :)

[Rafterman]

It would be a Petty Blue Superbird with a 440-6:drool: , or a 63 stingray with 427

[enRo]

Funny. My uncle who is a Mopar motor head just called me about that 'cuda. lol he said thats way too insane... doesnt matter how rare it is, he can find a hardtop cuda with a 440 + 4 speed #'s matching for like $125k ...

[WildBillyT]

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...

[chevyt454]

If I can't drive it & beat the hell outta it I don't want it.

[Ian]

If I can't drive it & beat the hell outta it I don't want it.

:stupid:

[79CamaroDiva]

so, i just found out from my mom that back when she was in hs, she bought her boyfriend a 70 cuda vert in pristine shape from a junk yard...



he proceeded to wreck it a month later. :banghead:

[SupermanX24]

That's a rediculous amount of money for the shape that car is in.

Was her BF her current husband? LMAO

[nj85z28]

Was her BF her current husband? LMAO

im sure he would have said his dad in that case matt

[Brando56894]

that things in horrible condition and its still goin for 3/4 of a mill! but yea that would be a sweet car to have...

[79CamaroDiva]

im sure he would have said his dad in that case matt

i = she... and yes, i would have said my dad... i think she promptly broke up with him after that. possibly relating to this incident :lol:

[bad64chevelle]

Prices of these things in general are just getting out of hand anymore. Mopars are hot now, their prices are going up alot faster than GMs or Ferds. My dream of a 71 Hemi Cuda will never be had, unless I make one, which will still be expensive. Its really a shame, because I know of a garage thats about 20 mins from here that has: 1968 Road Runner 440-6 4spd, 1970 Challenger 426 HEMI 4 spd, 1970 Hemi Cuda 4spd, 1970 Daytona 426 Hemi 4spd, 1971 Road Runner 426 Hemi 4spd. I got the chance to ride in the 71 Road Runner, and that was the turning point in my life of owning Mopars. Not much else like rolling around in a big block mopar car :-)

Damn, where is this garage so I can rob it? :lol:

[bad64chevelle]

that I cannot say, because there are many more parts/Hemi motors/transmissions/rears that are around there and there are many more vehicles also.

[LS1Hawk]

So check it, I'm reading through the classifieds in the Bergen Record today.... Guess what's listed? A 1970 'Cuda, 440 6, auto, all original, #s matching (purportedly), asking $125K. No mention of condition though, but considerably cheaper than the rust bucket on eBay.

[Knipps]

how much you wanna bet it was sold before you even read the ad?

[WildBillyT]

how much you wanna bet it was sold before you even read the ad?

Or it was a scam. Local papers are known to have some. A COPO Camaro comes to mind...

True, true. But sometimes people list cars for sale in the local papers and don't know what they're selling. That's how I got my Firehawk, it was almost a steal.

Also very true. I check the "Penny Pincher" for that very reason. But some ads are a little too perfect.
