You gotta be kiddin... you could take 2 zeros off the end and i'd still think it was overpriced...

It would still be overpriced at 300K. Real value is probably around $140K. There is rare (a 4 door hemi car) and then there is rare and valuable (a hemicuda ragtop).

Math lesson for the day... if you take 2 zeros off of 3,000,000 it becomes 30,000, not 300,000.

I don't know what to think of this market. I am also glad I'm not in the market for a house either. I don't doubt a Hemi convertible is worth a lot of money but 5 million? I see people talking about about thier 1200sq ft houses worth half a million with a crazy look in thier eyes too. Maybe I'm a pessimist but when regular people tell me the value of something will only go up that's when I want out. I think the prices will stay up and the days of cheap muscle are over but this market has gotten silly.

We shall see what the 4-door hemi car brings at the randworkman auction. Obviously most folks have NOT owned 20-30 collectible cars at the same time, because if anyone had they would know that once you own all of the rarest and desirable cars in the world, you begin to search for things that no one else has. The 4-door car up for auction is the only one in the world available for sale. One is in Don Garlits museum. He won't sell his for $5 Million (he himself said that). The Canadaian export belongs to the same guy who owns the car up for auction. He will not sell more than one of his cars. The final car is in Finland, not for sale.
Question: Why would anyone pay $100,000,000 for a piece of canvas with oiil on it? For example, a Van Gogh painting. The answer. Because they collect "rare" art. Why would anyone pay $3,000,000 for a 1971 hemi cuda convertible? Because it is a 4-speed 1971 hemi cuda convertible. Regarding the 4-door car: People who already have it all want what no one else has. This car is it. I know of offers on the same car of $1 million dollars almost 10 years ago before a single hemi cuda convertible of any year sold for so much. People with a lot of money dictate the prices and verify values by their willingness to purchase. This particular caliber of collector thinks differently than us common car lovers. We own Yenko Camaro cars. Some of us have paid up to hundreds of thousands for our cars. How could anyone state that a 4-door car of less than 4 built out of 11,000 is worth less than a Yenko Camaro? Answer: Ignorance and lack of wherewithall. How dare people insult others far more advanced in the art of collecting automobiles, someone such as the owner of the 4-door hemi car for sale on line for $3,000,000, when you have no idea what it means to have a full collection of valuable muscle cars (hemi cudas, yenko camaros, LS6 chevelles, 435 hp Corvettes, shelby mustangs, etc) and after this still crave individuality.
If the car sells for less than millions, I will have been speaking out of turn. If the car does sell for millions, then please take this message as a valuable lesson. Extremely unique and rare cars are worth what someone is willing to pay for them. Before they are sold, they cannot truly be appraised. There is nothing to compare them to.
By September 11th, we will know the value of that wierd 4-door hemi car. I am willing to bet that the 1971 hemi cuda does sell for $5,000,000 plus, and the 4-door hemi car, no less than $2,000,000.
