Just kidding,,,,I love you Rich. ( I think our sale was a world record at the time?!)

Re: My old yellow hemicuda ragtop for sale???
 

Hey Steve, I noticed in your snow picture, the car has a chrome bumper but in the auction now it has the painted bumper. Did that get swapped out by a previous owner before you got the car?

Re: My old yellow hemicuda ragtop for sale???
 

It was originally a chrome bumpered car with a silver grill. It just looked ugly that way, so I changed it.

Re: My old yellow hemicuda ragtop for sale???
 

Real bids? I would think someone serious about the car would bid more than $100 over the 2.7million opening bid. And five guys have all only bid $100?? Maybe they'll do a deal in private but then why even bid in the first place? call me skeptical I guess?

IT STILL IS !!! Just in case you think you lost some money.

Re: My old yellow hemicuda ragtop for sale???
 

...according to the questions being asked in the auction it appears Mr. W will be selling some more cars...
How many of the '71 hemi 'cuda 'verts does he currently have?...

Re: My old yellow hemicuda ragtop for sale???
 

Just from the photos I see the white 71 export car, the blue 71 four speed car, the yellow 71 car, an orange 70 and the red on red 70 that was the first hemicuda ragtop built (the famous magazine test car), and a purple 70 Challenger convert. So he has the first and last hemi cuda ragtops built!

Re: My old yellow hemicuda ragtop for sale???
 

The TRI-Fecta !! 71 Hemi Cuda-70 Hemi Challenger-70 Hemi Cuda CONVERTIBLES

Yes, it is. It is really hard to get a good depiction of that yellow in a photograph. That was when Mr. S had it a few years ago.

He said i suffered from dual personality disorder,so i told him to bill the "other" guy.

[/ QUOTE ] Just make sure to list it like the L89. Thats how all rare car auctions should be. The car is available at any time for a fixed price,and if someone wants to make a serious offer and be held to that offer[note emphasis on HELD] they can have that option. How close are we on a sale by the way??

Stories? When I write my book, most of them will come out. Here's a teaser. Imagine hitting a record breaking ice/snow storm (Superbowl weekend 1986) on the way back from buying the car and seeing this unfold in front of you, mile after mile. It was a complete white out and these guys still felt invincible at 65 mph...until they tried to change lanes, take a curve, stop, or take an exit ramp. I felt like Mel Gibson in the original Mad Max...just trying to make it home, running a guantlet of insane truck drivers. There was about 1,000 miles of this:

incredible Steve! the day i brought my 69 RR home in 96 was very similar. a crazy snow/ice storm. i remember one time looking out the drivers side window to see my RR on the trailor looking to pass in the passing lane https://www.yenko.net/ubbthreads/imag...lins/blush.gif

Re: My old yellow hemicuda ragtop for sale???
 

It was the scariest road trip of my life. I was going about 25 mph along with all the other car traffic and these trucks whould just scream by at 65 or 70. I guess they thought at 8 feet off the ground they were somehow above the weather inversion layer that was closer to the ground like us car drivers were.

At one point I pulled off the highway into a Holiday Inn to stop for the night. Of course, no vacancy. I go to leave the parking lot and it was sheet ice. All the wheels locked up and my whole rig goes sliding downhill across a 4-way intersection, through a red light. The Good Lord steered me into the only non tree-lined/concrete abutted/cliff edged spot in the area. It turned out to be the gravel parking lot of a bar, threading the needle between two tractor trailers.

I took that as a hint from God that I should stop there and get a drink til the weather cleared. https://www.yenko.net/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/no.gif

It sure took a while for that darned weather to clear. https://www.yenko.net/ubbthreads/imag...lins/beers.gif
