Could we say ....400 cars at a low average of 200,000? just kicking some #s. That vid is crazy. One day we'll all be there, if we work hard enough :praying:
 
And now you know why finding anything cool/rare is exceptionally difficult. I wonder if every one of those cars is actually legit? I believe that the blue/blue Hemi Cuda convert has some questions around it.

The GB5 blue Hemicuda convertible is one of three 4-speeds built, and has the matching block in it. That’s the one that sold for 3.5 million almost 7 years ago. I assume it was the Milhaus brothers that paid the 3.5 million for it..

Back in 2004, I met the guy who owned it then, and got to talk with him for a while. He also owned the white French export Hemicuda, which he drove on a road trip from Phoenix to Southern CA and back. The white one is in that video too.

What’s the question about the Blue cuda?

Sure looks like they reinvested there 38.3 million of proceeds back into muscle cars.

So...maybe we can all get a Hemi car or two bought on their next auction.:D I sure hope some cars can escape captivity and don't just end up in a private museum...:(

It's one thing to be able to afford all those cars, it's another thing to be able to find all of those rare cars. And multiple examples.

I am familiar with the blue Cuda and was here in WA when they bought it. There was a lot of controversy around it as being a legit car as I recall with several of the big name "experts" advising against the purchase. As I recall it seemed that some (quite a few as I remember) believe it to be a very high end and well done forgery. I don't know why they believe this, I just remember there was some "behind the scenes controversy" when it was up for sale. Obviously regardless of what anyone believed or said it didn't matter and they bought it anyway for over 3mil.
 
Wow, that is by far the biggest and best collection I have seen.

How is a totally fake clone, of only 11 cars produced (or however many were made, it’s a very small number), introduced into the million plus dollar collector market, and multiple people pay that kind of money for it? Makes no sense..

I don’t know the history of the blue car. When did that car first appear on the market? It just appeared out of nowhere 20 some years ago, as the long lost Hemicuda that was found in a barn and restored, or some other dumb story? With a bunch of fake documentation to go with it.

I guess that would be kind of funny if it turned out to have originally just been a 318 Barracuda convertible. The most money paid for a 318 or 383 car..
 
Must be talking about this blue cuda...advertised as the only one surviving with matching numbers drivetrain...
Sure is a pretty car.
Years ago I could've bought a 71 GS stage 1 4 speed convertible for 4k in pieces in a garage, it was the rarest car I'd had a chance at....didn't have 4k at the time for a Buick. LOL.. may still be in that doctors garage??? It was 1 of 9.

Yeah I don't know all of the "issues", I just remember that a number of "experts" were convinced or suspected that the car had some "issues" related to its authenticity.
 
There was a blue/blue 70 HEMICUDA convert in the Seattle area in the 80's that had a VIN and fender tag from a junkyard find.
