1971 Hemi Cuda

[Big Block Bill]

I LOVE Real paperwork from back in the day. Especially High Performance cars for the late 60''s and early 70's Thanks for sharing. Bill

IMO - the billboards enhance the look of that car tremendously. My hemi challenger came from the factory with the white bumble bee stripe which I like much better than the more common longitudinal stripe. I feel like the 71 billboard is the best though.

I would ask about the main fender tag - and the question I would ask is if the original is in a safe place(?). Many Hemicuda owners get a reproduction done and put the original in a safe place. I'm gonna stick my neck out and say it has the extra crispy look of a re-pop, but it reflects the broadcast sheet properly, so all the options on there are legit.

I concur with your assessment of that main, first tag.

Sorry for jumping in late. To my knowledge this is a very nice car, with 2 broadcast sheets, Advanced Shipping Notice paperwork, and more. I believe it also retains its factory original drivetrain. The first tag is indeed a repop as you guys spotted, but the original/worn first tag was also included in the sale. The white billboards were added, but otherwise it was restored to its factory original specs. One of only two ‘71 Hemicudas known to exist in purple-on-white.

Thanks Wade. Everything you stated is what I was able to gather before it crossed the block. I would have loved to own it, I had to put my hand down once it crossed the $450k mark.

The older restoration has held up well.
