Re: $2 Million Hemicuda
Wow! I just can't believe people are willing to pay that much money for those cars. I would think a 1 of 1 built car like the 68 Z28 convertible would bring the most money. What's so special about a hemi convertible?
 And yes, that is sarcasm on my part!

Re: $2 Million Hemicuda
Maybe because they look better than a Z28 convert and have alot bigger engine. The car is staying in the states thanks to the buyer. It was destined for England.

Re: $2 Million Hemicuda
That would have been going to the Carlos Monteverde collection? He's got a lot of super rare hemi cars and frequently trades up for lower mileage cars, etc.

Re: $2 Million Hemicuda
About the $2 million dollar Hemi Cuda----it is white with black billboards. I am sure because the car was in my showroom for 2 weeks before it was picked up for delivery. Roger Gibson and I are very good friends and he brings many of these great cars to my shop for transportation to their owners.
It is a beautiful car but being a devout Yenko fan, it paled in comparison to the Yenko's across the showroom.  floor.

Re: $2 Million Hemicuda
Couple of other interesting details about the car considering it was exported to France:
1. It is radio delete because France used a different frequency band. 2. The speedometer is calibrated in kilometers per hour rather then mph. 3. The top of the radiator core support is stamped with the VIN which has a pentastar at each end of the number. This was done when it landed in Paris.

Amazing what they can run when built and tuned right! That's plenty of soul for me!
