1971 Hemi Cuda Convertible Auction

[joe smith]

Sold my A12 4 speed RR for $1400 in 1974. 74 was a bad year.

You did good, NO ONE wanted 6 MPG cars when there was NO GAS... BAD times for sure

They had a fun in the sun display at the Mopar Nationals one year and this Hemicuda convertible was parked with my Charger convertible in the display! I always hang with 7 figure cars! There were three of the 71 Hemicuda convertibles there that year,the other two were a blue one and a white one!

I guess 4.9 million wasn’t enough!

Yep, the only one that sold was the Challenger. Nothing else broke reserve.

I'd say huge numbers like that were good for the hobby....if we weren't also sitting here watching the value of the dollar go down the shitter. $15 for a 2x4?? I guess $4.8M don't buy what it used to...

Yeah...well...I keep getting reminded about these golden Cuda stories and what I got for trading in my '70 Cuda BB 4sp vert for 600 bucks. Eons ago - yes - hurt less...NOT.

I wouldn't buy that car for 4.8 million either.
