The price spike in the Hemi cars is pretty pronounced. I bet the car doesn't clear at the speculated price, despite its really cool history.

Carlos Monteverde, who lives here in London, sold the White export car (France) in question, plus another Hemi Cuda convertible and one other 70/71 Hemi car for, I believe, $3 million less than a year ago as a package to Bill Weiman (sp?), the guy from AZ, who just had to have the cars. He woke up one day and decided that he didn't want most of his Hemi collection anymore. He also sold his Yenko Chevelle, 70 W-30 Vert and a bunch of cool other stuff. His muscle car collection has gone from teens to low single digits. On the other hand his Ferrari/Maserati collection continues to grow. He broke his leg after shunting in his 250LM ($2-3m) at a vintage race and started doing deals for cars because he was bored. I understand that he might be looking for a very high quality Yenko Camaro. Anybody?
