Ouch! It's scary to think what these things are going for now. Interesting, that it pulled more $$ than the 70 Hemicuda. In the past the B-body Hemi Mopars have gone for less than the E-body Hemi Mopars, with the exception of the Cuda and Challenger Hemi ragtops. There is something to be said for the enjoyment factor of the bigger cars. Having had Cudas and Chargers, the Chargers are a much better riding car. And they have a trunk the size of the Cuda's engine compartment! As for rarity, Chrysler made 112 Hemi Charger R/T's in 70 (56 4 spds and 56 autos) vs. 652 of the 70 Hemicudas. I guess if I thought about it more, I wouldn't drive mine. Now I have to call my insurance guy and refigure the value on ours (It's an R/T-SE, which breaks the numbers down into the single digits. (4 four speeds and 9 automatics) - kind of like a R/S-Z28: a luxury trim option on the performance option. Thanks for the update.
