L:eek2:VE this RTS Caravan stuff!
Lots online now but some info suggests SJ had never seen the RTS Cuda, other that he had indeed found also viewed it but just never got a deal made to buy it?:hmmm:
Looking forward to what it reaches at Mecum, hope it’s a bidding frenzy and outa’ the park like it deserves!:headbang:
Whatever the #, it should also help realize more realistic values for the other RTS cars that sold way too cheap at the SJ sale…who’s the lucky bastard that got the Chicken Head ‘71 ‘Runner?:ooo:
Looks like the Sonic Cuda is still out there yet to be found.
When’s the last it was known existing also note last pic below w/ Plate # JT 590S / 5905?

Very cool!!!

Actually, Steven had NOT seen the car in person. He was able to connect with the owner, (who coincidentally IS still alive) and met with him several times. He was not able to put a deal together.

Steven believed the car was stashed in a dilapidated garage behind a house in a rather rough area of Detroit under the Ambassador bridge. Many years ago on one of his visits, we went on an adventure, (and believe me, that location did make it an adventure!) where he showed me where he believed it was.

In reality, the car was never there. It was at the owners home, which was about ten minutes from where I live in a suburban neighborhood. The pictures that surfaced showing the car being loaded onto a flat bed is where the car had been stored from 1976 until March of 2022.

More of the discovery and how it ended up at the upcoming Mecum auction next month will be shared when the time is right.
