Super-Rare Hemi Cuda Convertible is Expected to Fetch Millions!
Little Unexpected French Flair
Also, the only of the twelve original ’71 Hemi Cuda Convertibles built in Winchester gray. This six million dollar car has an unusual history. It was actually shipped to a French customer, rather than the perhaps expected California or Texas petrol head. One of five Hemi Cudas ever to head for Europe. That’s why it has a unique 240 km/h speedo and a kilometer odometer. Rather than one that counts the miles. All subtle nuances that collectors crave for. And which make it super rare. And super-expensive
Packing an original matching numbers drivetrain, it’s powered by Mopar’s epic 431 hp 426 cube Hemi V8. It turns a unique wooden pistol grip Hurst shifter-equipped A833 4-speed manual transmission. And a 3.54:1 ratio Dana 60 Sure Grip differential. That driveline combination was known as the A33-Track Pak back in ’71. And all components are this car’s original documented matching number items.
Shaker Hood & Power, Too
The Hemi also has a Shaker hood with its inlet poking through the hood; a high-density 26-inch seven-blade cooling fan with and comes with a Mopar chassis pack. It is equipped with power steering and power brakes. As well as power windows, power adjustable seats and an optional right-hand wing mirror. The original owner failed to specify a radio!
A rare color combination, this Hemi Cuda’s GA4 Winchester gray has black side treatment. It has a black soft top roof and interior and comes with period correct Goodyear Polyglas GT F60-15 premium tires.
Estimated to fetch between 5.75 and 6.5 million dollars, this car comes under the hammer as lot F166 at Mecum Auctions’ Indy 2021 sale Friday May 21. Better you transfer that six million dollar sum to the current account in good time.
