Big collection of Cuda Convertibles. Just wow.

Friend of mine sent me this link. Not sure if you all have seen this but. I could only guess what he has all that insured for. Not including what he says right at the end of the interview. Just wow.

Yup, Tom is just down the road from me.  Such a great guy.  He throws a big party for people at MCACN at his shop.  I always miss it because I'm working.  But it is the stuff of legends.

I was an invited guest last year at the MCACN show. Tom is one hell of a nice guy and just fed us food and booze (I drank Coke) all night.....The collection is second to none if you're a 71 Cuda fan like myself. :drool:

Eh, he needs some more Challengers to round out the collection.  :bricks1: But I think it's great any time one of the big dogs in the hobby shares their collection with the public, seems like so many cars get locked away rarely to be see the light of day. The black Hemi Daytona?  :wow:

Is there a list of the 1970 & 1971 Hemi Cuda Convertibles know to exist with color and transmission combos?  I don't care to know who owns them or where they are, just what was produced.

Not the complete list you are looking for but some of it


"In 1971, only 6,228 'Cuda hardtops and 374 convertibles were built. A scant 108 hardtops were built with Hemis and just 11 convertibles had Street Hemi power. Four-speed manual Hemi 'Cuda convertibles are the rarest of all with just three built."

Scroll through this thread on the MCACN show last year ... pretty much covers them all ... and the Challenger's too.  http://www.cuda-challenger.com/cc/index.php?topic=109628.0

If you got the book from MCACN show last year it lists all of them, even the ones not found yet.
