Here’s another fun fact. Referring to my previous comment about longterm ownership, just to put this into perspective I went ahead calculated the approximate current length of ownership for each one of these cars (excluding the ones that are missing). Here’s what I found:

Average Current Length of Ownership (as of Apr-2019):
22 Years: 1970 Hemicuda Convertible (16 of 18 cars accounted for) *
19 Years: 1970 Hemi Challenger Convertible (11 of 12 cars accounted for)
13 Years: 1971 Hemicuda Convertible (11 of 12 cars accounted for)

* The Average Current Length of Ownership for the 1970 Hemicuda Convertible increases from 22 to 29 years when considering only the 4-speeds (6 of 6 cars accounted for).

To say it differently, for each car you've heard about changing hands recently, such as the FY1 4spd '70 sold in 2016 I mentioned above, there's several other cars that have been in the same hands since the '70s.

Perhaps this might explain why, when one of these rare machines does sell, it's kind of a big deal as generally reflected in the sales price.
