    These were emailed to me this evening by a guy doing research for a friend.  He got these images from the Fort Worth Library archives... interesting, need to spend a day down there sometime soon!

    Those are great!  Those prices are enough to make you wanna cry.  Prices for the Hemi Cudas are about 1% of what a numbers matching car is bringing.  Who knew back then/  Now, which of todays cars are tomorrows Hemi Cudas?.............Oldschool

    Probably none of todays cars... If DCX does revive the Hemi Challenger and Hemi Cuda (like I expect they will), probably 50% sold will be placed in storage for future profit... it will be like collecting expensive beanie babies... lol

    WHEN I buy one, I will drive the wheels off of it... I will however document the car and save related material for someone who wants to restore the car 30 years from now... assuming someone will want to...

    Thanks for the ads, xs!

    Those prices are unbelievable!  Like a fantasy!  It's cool seeing that Cuda with the shaker in the ad being sold like it's just a regular car like a current day Dodge Caravan.
