That would be a good start.  My problem with this car is I would be too paranoid to drive it.   :scared:

I'd have a couple rare ones but for the most part I'd stick to cars that I wouldn't be affraid to drive on the street.

With all that  $$$$ you could hire a armed escort to follow you when you drive it. It would be great to pull up at your local car show in that '71 :bigsmile:

The biggest problem with driving a car like that 71 is the fact that 95 % of the SUV drives would not appreciate what it is and either cut you off or run you off the road! :faint:

No, The bigger problem than the SUV drivers is the Prius drivers who are offended by what that car represents & will intentionally do stupid things which could cause you to react.. And when you react of course you'll be the one in the wrong....

Then again if you hire armed guards they could take out the Prius... :2thumbs:

I would buy it, weld a hardtop on it, change the color to a puke green and slap a 318 in it.  :smilielol: :smilielol: :smilielol:
This way, I wouldn't worry about driving it.  :roflsmiley:

Hey just because you see someone in a Prius doesn't mean they are against gas guzzlers. My daily driver is a Prius and on the weekends I take out my 71 RT 440 six pack for a spin. If a car can save you money during the weekly commute that leaves you with more money to enjoy your Mopar on Weekends!   :bananasmi

I wouldn't own a Prius or a Smart Car for the world, but I do drive a stripped down Ford Focus for my DD.  34-36 MPG, Super reliable, and I don't lose any sleep about driving it on our salty streets in winter or parking at the far reaches of the parking lot at the store in fear of getting a door ding from some fat lazy soccer mom in an SUV who parks next to me.  I've been there done that having nice DD's over the years and its a relief not having to worry about salty streets wrecking my nice ride or caring if I get a few dings!!
It will be interesting to see what that cuda bids to, but I don't have a strong desire to own a car like that.  A $200K or so hemi Challenger hardtop would suit me just fine thank you!! :rofl:

Overpriced for what it is.

I'd rather have a hemicuda clone and beat on it, and w/the other $2M, buy a rare exotic old Ferrari (which  you can't clone easily) or a new Ferrari LeFerrari or Aston Martin One-77.

What makes this hemicuda different than say, a 383 four-speed 'vert cuda is the engine.  That's it.  Big whoops.

But a One-77...are you friggin kidding me!
