I've lost my mind, that's not a ragtop!!! Ignore my last post.



This is what happens to a Pontiac guy looking into Mopars, his mind fades and his beliefs are confuzzled. I have had nightmares the last two nights of some beer drinking plum purple crazy Mopar guy trying to get me to race in front of the cop station.



And whenever I have nightmares, Belair is always near by.

Just wait until the company that's repopping new '69 Camaro convertible bodies (and others) starts doing 70/71 Cuda convertibles (see the latest Hot Rod magazine cover story). No doubt Mopar will keep making versions of the Hemi crate motor, especially if we enthusiasts keep buying them at $15K each. Sounds like soon we could have "70/71 Hemi Cuda" convertibles for about $50,000 to $75,000, ready to roll. No "pedigree" with such a car but I'll bet it's coming.

Hi Steve, the Hemi rags seem to be into the stratosphere. Don't count the RAIV Judge rags out, while not a Hemi, only 5 made in 69 & 17 in 70!

Watch out for the 440-6 packs, although i am partial to the 427 Chevy's. The 440-6's will turn some serious torque if you don't over rev them with the old style heavy rods.

Now this one is a rag, I think.

I felt the star of the performance-car Americans was a "purple-people-eater" '71 Plymouth Hemi 'Cuda convertible. The judges agreed and owner Harold Sullivan of nearby Auburn Hills, Michigan , drove off with its class trophy.

Do I add this one to the list? Some one has told me the orange one is a Canadian export, that sound right Charley? Since you've driven it, lucky guy.

Which one does the owner of the barrett jackson auction own?. I know his is a purple one with a white interior as he had it on one of his shows. He said that it dosent have the right motor but he did find the original one overseas. Is this one of the imports?. Is it a 70 or a 71? I don't know how old that story was but i remember him saying it was worth about 750k and he would'nt be surprised if these cars soon made the million dollor mark. What i find amazing about these cars was how fast the value of them are going up. It wasent more than 3 years ago that you could buy them for around 500k. It wasent a year ago that they were selling for 1 mill. Now they've doubled in less than a year!!! AMAZING What's the next one zooming to the top?
