4400 Mile Unrestored 1970 Hemi Cuda For Sale

Was an interesting read.....

I love the bare bones options of this car in an understated color - so very '70s in my mind - I can just imagine someone walking in and wanting the cheapest version of the biggest engine.....

Neat car if the story is accurate

That car belongs to a local friend of mine.  He bought it at Mecum Kissimmee last year for $135,000 + the buyers premium.  It'll be a profitable flip for him if Volo gets anything near that price.  Though I see the ask has been lowered. Up until last week it was over $300K!

Dave Wise did a video of his evaluation of the car.

Awesome stuff!  I would pay $135K all day long......had I only known.. after $200K its out of my price range, and even that is a stretch.  But like any true car nut, I could always find a way to justify the "investement"

Why do you guys think it sold so cheap at Mecum?

After 54 years she was weathered and needed a good refreshing and detail ...

I don't know my local friend well enough to have much insight into what happened, he just said sometimes things go cheap.
I get afraid at auctions if a car isn't bidding high, perhaps everyone knows some dirt on the car except me?
Or maybe Mecum was planning to short hammer it with a house bid, and flip it for a nice profit at a future auction, but signals got crossed up and they accidentally hammered it when my friends bid was high instead of theirs?
