Default My Old 440+6 Cuda Ragtop sold again at Mecum

This is the one I found in 1987 with 19,000 miles and then sold to Steve Julaino in 1988. Completely untouched drivetrain that ran like a monster when I had it. (I think that was the last time it ever drove on the street in past 35 years?).

$1,1,00,000.

I just watched the footage and it looks like the winning bidder was Kevin Suydam. Can anyone verify that? He used to own my old 1971 yellow hemicuda ragtop.

Kevin was a nice guy and it would be great if he did buy it so maybe I can reunite the restoration photo album with the car now.

Bummer. He's a nice guy.

Well, here's a photo from when it was just a used car in the snow in Ohio.

That car was cooler when it had all the candy, I'm embarrassed to admit.

Steve did you realize the rarity of the car when you had it in 87?

Yup. It was one of 12 440+6 automatics. I also had a one of 5, 4-speed 440+6 cuda ragtop as well. And a 1 of 7 hemi ragtop. All within a three year span. It was a fun time back in the day.

I was a thousandaire so I could afford them at the time. LOL

The Miami Vice car that was once sold by a Miami drug dealer and then stolen back and the driven into the ocean during a police chase, or something crazy like that: the most optioned one built: two full fender tags of options including body colored bumpers, spoilers, factory billboard stripes, leather interior, super track pack, 4-speed and born-with drivetrain. One of 5. I bought it in pieces in Miami in 1984 and had it finished by 1985 and it had its debut at the 1985 Mopar Nationals.

Now owned by a collector up in Rochester NY, last I heard.
