Here's a video of a '70 Hemi Cuda convertible with custom paint...

This info is from CarDomain Blog.  It sold on Ebay with the wild paint for 1.8 million dollars:

"This 'Cuda is one of only fourteen 1970 Hemi 'Cuda verts, and one of only five 4-speeds. The custom paint job is 37 years old. The previous owner bought this car seven years ago for $465,000, so I guess it was a pretty decent investment. Still, in the last year or two a few Hemi 'Cuda verts have sold for over $2 million. So is the market finally softening?"



Custom Cuda... kinda Boris Valejo style...

If you read the rest of what I said to do with the other funny paint jobs which I even said didnt look too bad as they were more symetrical, like that 74 Challenger etc then you never would have said what you did.

Maybe you have selective reading, read what you want, take it out of context to everything else that was said, and then make a big Stink that nobody else did. And Yes You seem to know more than I did when you were 16, remembering I didnt grow up where these cars were, not with parents that were into Cars as they came from Europe. Seeing im not a mechanic or panel beater obviously I will have questions. Sorry your "majesty" I didnt know I had to bloody know everything on this planet to not be ignorant.  :villagers:

Sorry dude, I jumped the gun a bit.  Usually I just ignore crap like that, don't know why it bothered me today.  I'll lighten up.   :P

Yeah, I remember that car from Carlisle the year that they had 4 or 5 of the seven 71 hemi cuda convertibles together. I was talking to one of the owners of TWO of the hemi verts that said "Yeah, I was really pissed that I paid $500,000 for the one and then a few weeks later( or something like that) an owner of one of the others called him and he bought that one for about $500k too." I wonder if he still owns both of them or has since made a fortune on them.

I at least stared at the pictures for a few minutes before deciding that I just didn't like it.  I really liked the Challenger with the blower, and there was another one back there too that I liked...

I think I'll stick with my Gold and black though.  Seems more intimidating...
