In the ad he even states if you spend 100K restoring it you will make millions...Why would a guy like him decide to give away millions. Would any of us leave millions on the table ?

The loose VIN tag or the missing shaker cable hole in the firewall? All of the above?

Whole lotta flags.

And whenever I sell a bazillion dollar car, I always put it on craigslist. Who needs Mecum or BarrettJackson [img]<<GRAEMLIN_URL>>/rolleyes.gif[/img]





seller: [email protected]


I am contemplating selling the LAST known 1971 Hemi Cuda Convertible.
This is the REAL DEAL, a real &quot;R&quot; code Hemi Cuda Vert.

There are only a handful in existence, and I have been hiding this car for 25 years. Too much time has passed and I have accepted the fact that I will never do anything with it.

The price is $1,000,000 USD (yes one million dollars).
These RARE cars sell at auction for $3-4 million, and will only cost only $100k to restore.
A steal at one million.
Yes, it has the original numbers matching 426 Hemi, Auto Trans, Dana 60 rear.

I am NOT posting my phone number for a reason.
Email only.

Best of luck.

do NOT contact me with unsolicited services or offers

No kidding. If it's real, one or two strategically placed phone calls and this car is gone instantly. And that's assuming that none of the big players in the hobby had any inkling it existed in the first place. It's not like the thing has been sitting in a treeline in Nebraska or a corn crib in Montana somewhere. I've heard stories of &quot;other&quot; HemiCuda 'verts through the years; surely somebody besides the owner knows something about this one if it's legit. Or maybe I'm too cynical...

Listing has been modified. Says it's an auto car with the fender tag. Also says it's in escrow awaiting completion of the transaction and that it's going to Sweden.

My first red flag was, why not get a $100,000 loan yourself, have it professionally restored and sell it for $3-4 million in profit instead of just $1m?

Exactly. Those of us who follow these cars know who the players are and they all know each other. Even the one that was recently sold to a somewhat &quot;new&quot; buyer was handled by one of the known long time E-body experts.

My favorite part;

Just my unsolicited opinion, for whatever that is worth! [img]<<GRAEMLIN_URL>>/hmmm.gif[/img]

Hope the people who bought it did their homework !! If not they have a very pricey lawn art.
