Man, who the hell knows. I watch 'Cuda prices casually in a nod to the one I lost, but I had no idea they could bring this kind of money (if the bidding is legit...). Rarity is absolutely paramount, and Mopars always seem to have a desirable option combination that they only made a handful of. After that values plummet. For comparison, less than a month ago I saw a 1970 'Cuda coupe, an original big block car that someone had turned into a Hemi clone. It was done up right--rotisserie restored, correct wheels, Hemi hockey-stick stripes, hemi 4-speed, no strange add-ons, etc. I recall the asking price was something like $40K, a far cry from the car that is the subject of this topic. Granted, it was not a convertible, but hell, you could probably turn it into one for less than $10K and have one that was a clone but nicer than this one for over $1M less than the final bid--
