Coincidentally, the 71 Hemi Cuda Convertible that graces the cover was also featured in the American Muscle book when Otis Chandler held the title. I feel honored to know that I was able to meet Mr. Chandler many years ago before he passed and have also had the pleasure of meeting the current owner and viewing this car (and others) in his collection.

So what does Colin say about my old car?...and how gently I treated it.

Slowest damn hemi car I ever had: 14.05 @ 103 mph (The real reason I sold it!)

Come to think of it, we have also crossed paths Mr. njsteve. Been a few years though, at Mopar Nats as I recall.

Sounds cool. Look forward to checking it out.

I picked up a copy at the Mecum auction and we enjoyed it all the way back to Austin. You know you're way too deep in this hobby when you flip each page and know most of the cars presented in the book.

The Yellow Hemi 'cuda shown here is the pinnacle of missed opportunity. It was sold new by Lubotsky Chrysler-Plymouth in Milwaukee. The second owner put it up for sale in 1981 for the unheard of price of $13,000. We all thought he was nuts and it did take some time to sell.

Never look back.

Yup, that was from the old days when you could rev an original born-with engine to 7000 rpm at a musclecar shootout without your investment portfolio advisor having a coronary.
