Top goes down, and the price goes up....and up....and up...and....
That is what happens when Barrett-Jackson is running. People think the stuff they own is "just like the one I saw on TV".

I dont care for those guys, barret jackon, and their ilk, they spout off crap about the cars going over the block, yeah this has had a fame off resto. and I gauantee, its numbers matching, if you do a frame off on a uni bodied mopar, I wouldnt want the damn thing, id be afraid of the sub frame coming apart when i got on it. And aolt of people dont realize, when that car sells, the house gets 8% from the buyer and 8% from the seller, so to make any money on the deal the car has to go big. And most of the buyers are the same guys driving the market to make their caras worth more to place them above the normal mopar owner. Look at me , I paid 1 mill for a hemi cuda. Im better then you ,aint I cool. Im not jealous Ither. If I had that kinda money , i still wouldnt pay that for a car, its just asinine.

I agree with the last statement. I actually met the guy from south dakota that owns some of the 71 hemi cuda converts, he had a couple of them at a show in Belvedere Il. (I think he had 3 of them, maybe one was a 70) He was actually a fairly cool dude. But something you got to realize, he actually was driving the cars around the fairgrounds like they were just normal. (granted, they were transported to the show in a large transporter) The fact that he had paid 1 million for it did not come into the equation. You see, when you got that much dough, it doesn't really matter, your bidding against others in the same position as you. The market for a car is only what someone is willing to pay for it. If you can afford it, why not have 4 of the 7, 71 hemi cuda converts. A thousand bucks to me is like the eqiuvalent to a million to someone else. The car will bring what the market will bare. Yes alot of people are sadly disillusioned as to the value of what they have (as in the case of this chrysler convt). I'll bet a dollar to a doughnut that that car won't sell and the price will be reduced. Unless there is somekind of retro-rat pack style fad that occurs in the near future, he is not gonna get that much for that. Even convertible people are not that hot for the Chryslers of the mid sixties. They go for the '57 chevy or Cad's. [sorry to "rant on", im done now] Just my .02.
