So ever since I can remember my father told me about all the cool muscle cars he had as in his youth. In 1970 he bought new a Challenger RT Hemi with everything on it and then crashed it. He had multiple Chargers and Road Runners, but the one that got away was this. Back in 1972 he worked at a Chrysler Plymouth dealer in Milwaukee. On the showroom floor was a leftover 1971 Cuda convertible in what my dad described as pale ugly arse yellow. The owner of the dealer offered it to my father for $2500 to get it off the floor because he new my dad was into muscle cars. My father said you couldn't pay me to take that ugly colored car........fast forward to 2007 and at auction someone paid $2M for that car. The documentation with the car puts it on the show floor of the dealer my dad worked at. Only Hemi Cuda Convertible made in yellow. DOH!
