[QUOTE="CobraBob, post: 16615924, member: 6727"] I read this interesting news bit this morning. A '71 Hemi Cuda convertible (4 speed) in France is on its way to Indy for the Mecum Auction there the weekend of May 21st. A similar Hemi sold at Mecum for $3.5 million back in 2014. Some expect it to hit $6 million! I'll definitely be watching this one cross the block on Friday, May 21st. Link: [URL='https://www.foxnews.com/auto/1971-plymouth-hemi-cuda-muscle-millions'][color=#a6ff4d]Ultra-rare 1971 Plymouth Hemi ‘Cuda muscle car worth millions up for auction[/color][/URL] [b][size=5]Ultra-rare 1971 Plymouth Hemi ‘Cuda muscle car worth millions up for auction[/size][/b] By [URL='https://www.foxnews.com/person/g/gary-gastelu']Gary Gastelu[/URL][URL='https://www.foxnews.com/'] | Fox News[/URL] France isn't exactly known for muscle cars, but it may soon deserve credit for the most expensive one ever sold. [ATTACH=full]1702070[/ATTACH] A rare 1971 Plymouth Hemi 'Cuda Convertible is coming up for sale at the Mecum Auctions event in Indianapolis, [color=#ffa64d]with an estimated value of $6 million.[/color] [ATTACH=full]1702071[/ATTACH] The Winchester Grey two-door was one of just 11 or 12 'Cuda Convertibles believed to have been ordered with the 426 Hemi V8 that year -- even Stellantis isn't sure which it is -- and one of three equipped with a four-speed manual transmission. One of those cars was sold at a Mecum auction in 2014 for $3.5 million, which remains the record for what would be considered a traditional muscle car. The one heading to Indy has taken a very circuitous route to get there. It was originally built as an export model and shipped to an owner in France, who kept it until 1993. It even has a metric odometer that currently reads 98,553 km. [ATTACH=full]1702072[/ATTACH] The car has been owned by its seller for two decades and is being offered with full documentation backing up the claim that it still has its original numbers-matching engine and transmission, a trait that it shares with the $3.5 million example. It also features a Sure Grip differential, power steering, power brakes, power windows and a Hurst pistol grip shifter. [ATTACH=full]1702073[/ATTACH] The 'Cuda is scheduled to cross the block on Friday, May 21. [/QUOTE]
