It has an automatic trans, I'll pass.

On a side note, you could by ten to fifteen other Cudas and actually drive them.

I better be able to buy more then 15 cars for 2.5 mil !!!! Th shop to keep them all

I'll have to check. Let me look around and I'll get back to you. As much as I like Mopars, I kinda would like a Bugatti Veyron instead if I were ever to spend a lot of ca$h for a car.

This car raises a question for me. For years we've been told that a correct Mopar model has body color overspray on the bottom of the car. Well, this car doesn't have even a hint of overspray on it and might be the best preserved Mopar ever. Where is the over spray, or has it's presence been grossly overstated?

[2000-cvpi]

The car was undercoated. Granted I didn't look at any underside pictures, but that would be my guess to the lack of over spray.

Bit rich for my tastes, but awesome paint scheme idea for my next model one...

Same here, if I had choice to spend $2million on car, it sure heck wouldnt be on this, its nice, but not 2mil nice, now a Veyron is 2 million nice

[moparfarmer]

There are many questions about this car. Why hasn't anybody heard of this car before. If Galen authetized it, I'd be questioning it too. He did a friends Coronet convertible at the Nats in 94 and said it was what it was. NOT, I know it was a 383 and cloned, even the serial # was reworked...

[ffreak]

Mehhh, i'll leave my mason jars buried in the yard till I find a Ferrari I wanna spend it on !!!

[VW Dave]

Asking $2.5 million for that car is about 3 years too late; the market has definitely softened

[Dragline]

The car is worth asking price. Is there another better?

Will there be 50 years from now?

A Pittance if I'm asked [which I wasn't].... This is GRAIL, not some 69 Camaro with manufactured provenance, and we have seen a few of those.

This is Muscle Royalty properly documented and case delivered.

It's like the 39 mile 1970 Chevelle SS. It's a fact... It's documented. No one wishes to pay its worth... TODAY.

Cripes!!! I'll be dead and gone [most of us will], before most of these cars enter the regions of the unattainable.

They are attainable NOW. Pony up Beotches, You got a chance....

This is hard for me to believe that this a factory fresh 1971 HEMI Cuda with only 2,010 miles as I see too many things wrong:

If you look closely at the brake booster and master cylinder you will see a little bit of what looks like rust. If you look at the valve cover you will notice where some black paint has come off and looking at the fenderwell where the tag is you notice a little bit of dirt or grime.

Same goes for this valve cover of black paint that has came off.

Notice on the side of the block you see oil grime/grudge.

Notice that the exhaust system does not have a new factory exhaust look.

Notice the grime/grease on the gas tank.

And last, the seller says that it is so original that the 426 still has the factory fluids in the engine, then I would like for them to explain this one:

I'm not disagreeing or saying that this is not a 2,010 original mileage 71 Cuda but it is definetly not worth 2.5 million dollars that they are asking. I know for sure IMO that a factory fresh 2,010 original miles car is not going to have any grease, grime, or rust anywhere on the engine, drivetrain etc.

Sorry to take up so much space but I hate to see and feel for the pour fool that get's taken for a loop with this much money, when to me it looks sort of like it's been to overly restored...

depends on how it was stored during it's life in hibernation

[Terror]

right now my money its tied up in returnable soda cans.lol

[moparmagiclives]

Factory original oil huh?

That's the last thing I want to see in a multi million dollar classic vehicle...

As far as it being worth it, can you turn around and make money on it ? Probly not, so no it's not worth it.

But we all know some ubber rich guy will buy it just so he can say " I have the best hemi car" but in all factors of the automobile world (the one that matter) we all know there are far better looking and performing vehicles at a fraction of that cost. Even ones that just like that one.

Let them have them, Let them pay those redicliouse prices, we'll see what it's worth when it won't run or drive anymore with out being modified from stock with different drivetrain parts.

5.5 million dollars was just paid for the LM Porsche 917 Can Am car. Rarity has no price ceiling, they're always going go be highly desirable. While 2.5 will make parts of your body pucker, it's probably not far off from what it's worth for what it is. This is Americas version a Bugatti Atlantic, Auto Union racer, or a blower Bentley. This will always be desirable as a piece of automotive history.

Provided it actually is what's advertised as. While some paint flaking & fluid seepage would be normal due to its age, let's not be delusional and expect to see it as nice as the over-restored show-poodles we're accustomed to.

I'd say a Duesenberg, Stutz, or Miller racer would qualify a lot more for that.

Those ca. 1970 American Muscle Cars have no real counterparts anywhere in the world. I find them still way overrated.

Though I couldn't imagine paying that kind of cash for a car, I can understand 5 mil for a race car, with a rich heritage. Not a barn find American production car. I really don't see how it compared to any of the cars you mentioned though. Unless I really missed something in th article, I don't see it.
