It is, that's the Blakes Cuda mentioned earlier. It's not only real, it's probably the most desirable of them all, it's fully loaded with options.

Yes, the original posted list contains an imposter, the GY3 Curious Yellow car with black billboards is not an original Hemi Cuda. The Blakes (EV2 Orange with White BB's) is most definately real.

Here is the Blakes car way back in 1983, he had just purchased it from the previous owner in Canada, the car still had the incorrect black painted hood hinges and 1970 only Light Argent Center Caps at this time. I was only 21 at the time, I walked up and started asking (probably stupid) questions of the owner, Dave Blake. One of which was "How much did you pay for it?" His reply was that the owner wanted a new 1984 Corvette (those stickered at about 25K brand new at the time) and Dave said he gave the guy just about enough to buy one. When he told me that I thought he was nuts! That was nearly double what any Hemi Cuda of that period would bring.

Shows you what I know huh?
