I'd rather have the 2 million dollars.

It would be nice to still see old cars cruising around our neighborhoods, but Mecum and others have ruined it driving prices thru the roof hyping up these slow, horribly assembled, dangerous rust buckets to millionaires that don't even know how an engine works. Since cars today are faster and can do everything better, there's really no reason for any old car's to sell for more than a new car of equal status...Its just silly. Kia's are now doing 13.6, Hyundai 13.4 both with a 4 banger, faster than this 440 cuda (13.8) and almost any car today smokes the 'Cuda at braking, turning, reliability, comfort, mpg...almost everything.

Just another old car that will be stuck in the back of someone's private collection never to be seen or driven. These rich bozos have ruined it for all of us.

Oh well, at least the millionaires haven't ruined the land barge market.....yet. It's nice to know we can still get a pristine fully loaded, everything working New Yorker with 40,000 miles for under $8000. (Barrett Jackson)

The car shown above is the actual car that was part of the RTS tour. It is a one off and a collector item so not comparable to generic old cars. You guys should be happy that US brands are not very desirable for the rest of the world. Rich people from Europe/China/Japan/UAE are not interested in paying 6 or 7 figures for a Dodge or Ford. Porsche, Ferrari and the other European luxury brands are highly sought after around the globe. Those prices are through the roof since the market is way bigger.

It's an ego thing with these big bidders. Who has the biggest dick.

Yeah but the trouble is it filters down to every Tom, Dick, & Harry that suddenly think they are Tony Beets.

I'm still trying to figure out why you're wasting valuable bandwidth talking about these horrible cars.
Go buy your Kia.
Be happy.
