$2 Million Hemicuda
Just got my Dec 04 issue of Mopar Action mag. It features a article on the last Hemicuda convertible built which recently changed hands for 2 million bucks.
Noted Mopar restoration Guru Roger Gibson made the deal happen. Who said Muscle Car prices are 'soft'?

Re: $2 Million Hemicuda
The last US production hemicuda ragtop (May 71 built) was my old yellow one which I dont think has sold (Charley do you know?) I believe one of the two export cars (1 grey, 1 blue) may have a higher VIN. Any one have any additional gossip? Several people have turned down that amount but I havent heard of any actual sales. -NJSteve

I don't have the article but I assume they are talking about the White with black billboards one that Gibson restored.

Re: $2 Million Hemicuda
Wow! I just can't believe people are willing to pay that much money for those cars. I would think a 1 of 1 built car like the 68 Z28 convertible would bring the most money. What's so special about a hemi convertible?
 And yes, that is sarcasm on my part!

Re: $2 Million Hemicuda
Maybe because they look better than a Z28 convert and have alot bigger engine. The car is staying in the states thanks to the buyer. It was destined for England.

Re: $2 Million Hemicuda
That would have been going to the Carlos Monteverde collection? He's got a lot of super rare hemi cars and frequently trades up for lower mileage cars, etc.

Article states the current owner is Bill Weimann, same guy that paid $1 million for the blue car about a year ago. The white/black billboard car was a French-export. History on the car is a bit fuzzy, but it does state that Gibson completed the restoration last June.

Was the blue one Milton Robson's old car?
