Hemi cuda sighted

Check this out I'm rolling through the parking lot of Armstrong State University in Sav. Georgia when I spot a Purple Hemi Cuda. It wouldn't be the end of the world but it was parked right up front next to normal everyday door dinger cars. I got the chance to check the car over and couldn't believe that anyone would park a $80,000+ car in a normal parking lot. I asked someone later about it and they said they knew the guy and said it was a hemi and he drives it to school every now and then.

Damn I love those cars. My neighbor has a Charger with a Hemi...but it's not the original Hemi, just a crate but it's still cool and fast.

I doubt it was worth that much, unless it is all original and matching numbers with very very low miles. Nonetheless, it's not about how much the car costs - that's a really cool sighting!

Well, there was a pristine Hemicuda with 9,000 original miles on the Barrett Jackson auto auction that went for $147,000 last week. Beautiful car.

I was there. :smokin:

Pictures soon

sweet, please post.

Correction- the hemi cuda on barret jackson went for 235k, i would think the cuda you saw was a clone and not matching ##'s

well, it was at 235k and then it dropped back down to the lower number for some reason. Or it was showing coverage from the previous year. I dunno, I watch Speed too much, lol. But I would rather see a sweet classic than a new Ferrari. Because when you see a restored classic, you know someone put blood, sweat, and tears into it as opposed to simply the guy who has more money than brains and buys a new Exotic.

and this is from someone who drives an "import". But my car serves its purpose and sees days at the track.

If the Barret Jackson cuda went for 235k you dont think a nonmatching #'s cuda could go for 80k?

Nope, not unless it is a perfect clone. It would need all the correct stamping and overspray just as a clone to make that kind of money. On the other hand, you could have a basket-case numbers matching, and then you would get a nice sum! :biggrin:
