I thought all the Hemi Cuda convertibles were accounted for.

This time last year the car was on display at the Peterson Museum. It was also at Meadow Brook last year.

That's the Bagwell 'Cuda? It looks like a '71 in all of the pictures

yeah, it has a 71 grill in all the race pics and a 70 grill in all the restored pics.

Yes, the car is a 70 model but was campaigned as a 71. The 71 sheetmetal was installed by 72 for sure. At that time it was owned by the Bowers brothers and running as a 71. I can only guess as to why. There may have been a weight advantage for the 71s. When the car was purchased by Factory Muscle out of Phoenix in about 90 it was still wearing the Bagwell paint. Pat chose to restore it to factory spec vs race.
