Personally I think the 'Cuda was also somewhat of a deal. Arguably, to replace some of the bad repop parts (repop shaker hood, etc) and restore this car right will take another $125K. But if done and fresh today this particular car (which I believe to be a #s car with paperwork and extremely desirable options) would be worth $500K. So I think the buyer did OK, and who knows how much higher the '71 'Cuda market will be when this car is finally done about a year from now. As for the recent market, these '71s have already been on this track, with a Curious Yellow #s Auto going for ~$500K and a #s Stick car in the same color as this one going for ~$600K. These sales were at public auctions within the last 9 months, so this data should be of no surprise to anyone. There have also been 2 other private sales in this same price range, which were also for '71 Hemicudas that had it all. Buyers are clearly willing to pay up for these '71 Hemi 'Cudas, and in particular for the &quot;everything&quot; examples like this one. The only surprise to me was why this car didn't get bid up another $25K more.
