Somebody is DREAMING just a bit....I really nice blue one just sold at Mecum last month for $190K
This one is missing a ton of details and has painted steel bumpers for cheap sakes  :lookatthat: :lookatthat:

White interior should be standard on convertibles.

Red White and Blue interiors all look stunning on the verts.

The bumpers are easy to spot and seems like a very cheap thing to purchase and make right. 

@anlauto Would you point out some of the less obvious details that you mention.

Well for $325K I don't think it should have el cheapo painted steel bumpers.....It's supposed to be  "CLONE" yet it's missing all the standard "Cuda" trim on the belt line and rockers etc...

Wrong rear end too.

 Hmm. Since it's not an original hemi Cuda, why wouldn't you install torque boxes and frame stiffeners on a convertible? The orange painted transmission seems strange. Are those air shocks on the rear? I would also install front and rear anti-sway bars on it. Just my opinion.

If it's an original convertible body, it should already have the torque boxes as they all came with them. Hmmmmm :thinking:
Contrary to the opinions of some, I am not dumber than I look.

The torque boxes are on the car, factory Hemi cars never had "frame connectors" so why should a clone ?

Yikes, this one is in the under $100k territory. Too many strikes for the big $.
