Holy crap! Barrett Jackson just sold a 1970 Cuda for 2 mil. More money than brains I guess. I'm sure I could have got a couple of nice cars for that....

Yea, the prices are pretty crazy, but that is like toilet paper to some people.

Do you guys know what car that is? It is the most sought after muscle car. There were only 14 Hemi Convertibles made that year, and it represents the pinnacle of the muscle car era. There are more beautiful, faster, better handling cars on the market of course, but not many cars have balls like these 'cudas do.

I believe it was that the 426 Hemi was more suitable as a racing engine, and was too high-strung for street use. A 'Cuda with a 383 or a 440 would've offered good performance while having the manners of a daily driver.If it represented the pinnacle, why was there only 14 built?

My thoughts exactly, Anyone know what this car originally sold for $ 8 - 10K?
It's just a Dodge! This whole Hemi thing has gotten out of hand....

Road Test magazine's test (June, 1970) of a '70 Dodge Challenger Hemi was
$4,180.50 as tested.
By 1970, there was not a huge demand for muscle cars, espeically with big blocks. The insurance for those was getting very expensive.
And, not "just a Dodge," but a legendary Dodge!
'76 Cadillac Fleetwood Seventy-Five Limousine, '95 Lincoln Town Car.

alright ferrari fan whatever you say is so right!!!111!!1oneone1!
The Cuda represents more than a car like others, it represents the rareness and exclusiveness that comes with the car. Many people can say I own a ferrari, but very few can say I own a cuda. The car is worth every penny. Any cuda owner has more respect in my book than any other Ferrari owner. Dont get me wrong the 250GTO's an such are rare too but come on, its a freaking cuda. Its mean, unforgiving, and wants to eat anything on the road, you dont get those qualities anywhere else.
