71 HEMI Cuda Conv 4-speed
« on: December 01, 2006 - 02:33:59 PM »
as I was reading I noticed some numbers for a 71 HEMI Cuda Conv 4-speed
said only 2 were ever made...now normaly I could care less, and I am sure other could have been ordered and not noted, but if there were truely only 2 or so...

does anyone have a clue what happened to them?

I wonder if this one could be one of them.  I know if shows a auto slap-stick in the 2nd page, but wondering if it's the real photo or just one on file.

If we never drown we'll never know how well it tastes....So tell me how it tastes and I'll know just how well you drowned.

All 71 Hemi Cuda Verts have been accounted for.  There were more then 2 with 4-speed.  And with such odd options, the paperwork supporting that there were only so few cars built is pretty substancial.  I have pictures of every one of them if anyone wants to see them.

Not in order or anything of production.  Except the last one in the pictures, was the last one found.























Enjoy

Those are beauties but what about the one the Blakes have,the one with two tone interior.The one that Hot Rod magazine said that they paid to much for it(I think it was 25000)
