As cool as they are and an awesome collection Steve had I agree as mentioned, fugly cars though.

There are so 1970-71 custom vibe...

IMO they are cool only in the aspects of
'why they were built'
to promote the Rapid Transit & Performance Parts sales

not as much as the look

which IMO is sort of a "hippie/flower child/doper on acid design"
of that era

to each their own.

but the other 2,man,id drive the Snot out of those 2.....

There’s a tribute to Juliano and some hilarious stories told by him about how he acquired these cars in the April 2019 edition of “Mopar Action” magazine Quite a colorful guy…my favorite was concerning a well-known Mopar numbers guru, who when asked to decode the build sheet on the ’70 Hemi RR, did so, but then advised the owner “if restoring the car, I recommend that you cut off those wheel flares and rear wing, and replace the square headlights with the correct stock ones…”

what would be awesome,
is if someone could go thru and video tape the entire place Before they sell it off...

The Cuda and the Daroo1 are my favorites!!!, the story behind the Daroo dart purchase, pretty much sums up, act like an a..hole, get treated like an a..hole. The Daroo, and a good friends, original paint big block car, were really not for sale, were apparently being saved for their sons, and in both case's their sons showed up in the garage, Mouthed said people in front of their father's, and in both case's, the cars were sold...not handed down.

I think that may have been the Fireball 500.

I often wonder what it would be like to own and drive one of these today. I think it would be cool myself.
