One very fine Cuda. Same seller held on to a 67 L88 Corvette that bid to 3.7mil.

That's a parallel universe where I'm not in it.
Waste of time and energy just thinking about what it's like.

That car is my dream car. It's also in my opinion one of the top 5 muscle cars of all time. I watched a video of it and I think the guy was a bit of a jerk. Yes he knew how much he wanted to seel it for. But he made a comment about the next one would cost him 4 million. News flash, there is no next one. that is the one, of the 11 hemi cuda convertibles. It was 1 of 2 4 speeds and the only numbers matching.
It's not my dream car. Money aside, I wouldn't trade my 09 Challenger for two of them.

I was lucky enough to see a sister car last spring in Myrtle Beach last spring.

I like Challengers over Cudas but that's a heck of a nice car. 3.5 mill though? I think not.
I would have the biggest fleet of C-Bodies in the world with that kind of money.

Unbelievable. Even if it is a hemi. All more reason to thrash it and have fun a 1/4 mi at a time in it.

That amount to the buyer is likely the same as $3500 in our universe. Is that a bad thing for someone to pay that much? That's a much bigger discussion.

sad thing is it will never get driven like it should be, it will just sit in a climate controlled garage and when the time is right appear at another auction and try for another record setting bid

that is what they advertidesd it but it is wrong.
There are two 4-speed cars which are still matching. Some automatics, too.
The total of 71 Hemi Cuda Cv is 14 inculding the export cars (there were three sold new in france).

I'm just glad the car is still on this planet.
Is it worth $3.5M? It is to the guy who bought it. Good for him.
Will it ever be driven again? Probably not. So what.
If I owned it.....it would be driven (a lot) on fair weather days. I would even take to my local track every summer for a couple (more than a couple) 1/4 mile passes every year. I did own a brand new 73 Ralleye Challenger with a ton of performance mods and I was at Great Lakes Dragway (Da Grove) Wisconsin every weekend hammering 1/4 mile passes until I went in the Army in 1976.

It has transcended being a car. It is an investment only at this point. We live in a crazy world.
