    The last Hemi ever built??
    « on: September 21, 2006 - 09:43:31 PM »
    A 71 'Cuda coming up at Mecum auction (along with a bunch of other cool Mopars ....and Pontiacs!) The car is billed as the last Hemi made.  :dunno: ..who knows. Any way we're (wife) go'in down just to check things out for the day.

    That car was 20 minutes from me for years.   It was painted black since day one.   Is a B5 car, but I know had black dealership over the b5 to sell it early on it its life.

    I was at the Mecum auction and got a chance to scope out that hemi cuda.  I missed it go through the bidding but I heard it bid up into the $700K neighborhood but that was short of reserve so it didn't sell.  The reserve was said to be around $900K :22yikes:
    I don't think there is any way to prove for certain it was the last hemi cuda built, it is just that it is the latest one documented? :dunno:

    Not worth paying a premium price for, if I bought that car I can be certain a previously unknown one with a later build date would appear within a week! :grinyes:
    This red one at the auction was cool and had more options than the blue one.  It bid to $625K which was short of the reserve.

    Both beautiful cars, it is a shame that sometimes they are looked at only for their $ value and not just the beauty of them. :bigsmile:

    It was billed there as the last Hemi Cuda, not the last Hemi ever built.






    Here are all the pictures I took.

    Correct me if I'm wrong, but I think I read somewhere that a one off 72 Hemi Cuda was built for a Chysler employee. Does anyone recall this?

    Nope, no 72 Hemi Cudas ever existed.  Perhaps someone cloned one, but never from the factory.

    Never say never...  I will revert you to one of my favroite threads!

    http://www.cuda-challenger.com/cc/index.php?topic=7720.0

    Im not saying the car exists, just alot of real Mopar people talking details on a 72 Hemi.
    Dont forget there werent any 72 440 +6 cars but there are a few documented cases of this happening.

    Thats true, however 440+6 was advertised as an option in '72, while the hemi wasnt.

    (brocure for '72 charger)
