I think I've heard that all but one have been accounted for.
Number one of course is the Diamante.  I've seen features on 2 purple ones. There is a triple black one that I've seen vintage pictures of when it was used to tow a boat!  As for the other 4 I don't know about them.  Wasn't there a hemi Challenger convertible in last May's Mecum auction too?

That car I knew of but I have missed that they destroyed the only triple black Hemi challenger convertible ever built to make such
an ugly car. :swear: So we are down to 8 then?

Beautiful car, but in this market I would be surprised to see it approach $500K.  If I owned that car it would be garaged until the market returns....then get $2M  :grinyes:

If I owned that car I'd paint it a nice color and change the interior.    :smilielol:  (thats because I can afford to if I owned it)   :bigsmile:
