'Cuda craziness or how to flip a Barrett-Jackson car on Ebay

[LeeH]

This 'Cuda sold at Barrett-Jackson for $550,000. Today it sold on Ebay for $899,000.

Who'd have thought you could buy a car at Barrett-Jackson and flip it for a profit? Hope the buyer's not planning on trying to flip it at Barrett-Jackson next year.

Why the heck would anyone buy a car then not drive it?

[VincentVega]

Selling it for 900k is good enough reason to me

That sure makes me glad I kept my Hemi car all these years.

So Chris, were you the guy that stepped up with the "Buy it Now?"

43 original miles on the odometer, all burnout.
The diff skips teeth, the trans is steel bands and grey jello, motor seized cause the oil cap was off, and back seat smells of something iiinteresting.

$900,001.

It's funny, the car sold for almost a million and you look at the interior and it looks like it cost about $200.00 to build the entire car.

a 71 Cuda convertible Hemi Automatic sold for 5 million last summer.

That is just an ugly car... IMO.

There is that twisted part of my brain that wants to see it get picked up by the giant scrapping claw that picks up the GT at the end of Gone in 60 Seconds!

Oh well.

They probably looked up '70 Hemi Cudas on Barrett Jackson to see what it would sell for and found the recent sale. Doh!!!

As crazy as prices are for these cars $550K for one that's nearly new is less than I would have guessed.

[cashflyer]

I wonder how many miles were put on it while the odo was disconnected....

[lonewolf]

i used to own two 71 cudas with shaker hoods and 4 speeds,
a 68 super bee, 68GTX, 70superbee, 70 roadrunner.
bought my first car the 68GTX at 16 years old,440 supercommando 375HP for 641.00
also bought this original 67GTX with 29830 miles.hers some pics. back then these cars were pretty hard to sell and my parents hated every one of them.

Did it make reserve the first time?

[sammyg2]

I bet most of the guys who don't like hemi cudas prolly never rode in one or drove one.
I've done both, they are not ugly at all to me.

Well, yeah... if you like gobs of unbridled horsepower at your disposal. But who really wants that?
