Yeah I mean besides that hottie you've always dreamed about. 1971 Hemi Cuda convertible! Probably not to everyone's taste especially being plum crazy purple but if I could have just one car, my dream car, this would definitely be it!!! I keep drooling looking at this car since it's been for sale for awhile but damn I would sell my soul to the devil to own that car!!!
http://www.cars-on-line.com/33400/71ply33436-2.jpghttp://www.cars-on-line.com/33400/71ply33436-1.jpg
It's for sale here in Colorado and only $250K
Wonder if they would trade my house for it?[Tooth]

I've got a buddy who could probably find out who the owner is (if he doesn't already know). Want me to ask around?

Well my friend, we have that much in common. I've had a boner for that car since I was 15 years old. I'm not even a MOPAR guy, but the 71' Hemicuda is the ultimate muscle car.
I'll put it on the Powerball list..[LOL]

I wish I am in the market for a muscle car more in the $15k range which I know drops me down into the dirt as far as my pickings of collector cars go. I do check CL everyday though for that "perfect" car but so far they are either out of my price range or just not quite the right one. I have found a couple clones like a 70 Chevelle 454 ss clone and a beautiful 71 Olds cutlass W30 442 clone but something about a "clone" just rube me the wrong way.
Oh yeah, I almost forgot to mention that I was expecting you to say "like a vagina?"
Twitchy, I just wondered. Maybe if you knew the owner you'd call him up and ask if the car was going to any local car shows so you could check it out or something.

I think so too! It's funny to see some peoples reaction to the colors they painted those cudas back in the day. I hate the color pink but would never pass up even a panther pink hemi cuda if I could afford one!
Back to reality here is one I have had my eye on that is olive color not a hemi but does have a 440 magnum. I just cannot get the guy to budge on his $21,500 asking price!

Yeah that is one bad ass car! I once looked into how that clutch worked on the blower and learned that it was more for show in the movie and not something that would really work. Without the rotors in the blower turning you loose major H.P. One hell of a cool idea though!
Years ago, 1982 in fact I was helping a young lady I knew from High school move some of her stuff up to Ft. Collins to go to school. As we were returning home down I-25, We rolled past what I would assume was some type of MOPAR club.. 6, and I do mean 6 1970 Plymouth Superbirds.. All just cruising down the highway.. I have a picture of one of them.

Yes I agree with you 100% I had the Lamborghini Countach poster with "pure sex" on the license plate on my wall for years as a kid growing up. To bad it's minus the rear spoiler in the picture. That car will always have a special place in my heart! Nothing like 12 cylinder Italian H.P to get your heart pumping!
http://www.autotrend.com/pic/i3007.jpg
when I first saw this thread I thought no way is that purple thing worth a quarter mil.
then I did some looking, one went for 2.2 mil at auction.
maybe it would be worth it to mortgage the house to buy it.

The Wing does add sexyness to the car but also slowed it down ( and was a 5000 buck add on .. tho most cars left the factory with it anyways ) The car was APX 20mph faster without the wing and didnt need the downforce anyways

[Beer] If you only knew how many times that thought has crossed my mind in the dozens of times I have looked at the ad. Wish someone would buy it and it would just disappear so it can become a distant memory! What hurts even more (not that I could have afforded it then either) is when I was 16 (I'm 41 now) I saw the exact same thing sitting on a muscle car lot on South Broadway for $10k
As for the 308 GTB one hell of a sexy car especially since you can get a good driver for around 20K these days but something about a 6 cyl built buy Fiat that just doesn't get me going. To bad you couldn't squeeze a Testarossa motor in there.
One of the biggest regrets I have ever has was selling the 1970 plum crazy purple Challenger 440 six pack RT/SE I had when I was 16. I bought the car in cherry condition for $1900 and the only thing it needed was a new power steering pump. A year later I though I made out like a bandit when I sold the car for $6500. Make me cry to think that that car today is worth at least $50k!

What groceries, it's got those magic food replicators! I just need to use the transporter to "Scan" some toys on the surface of the earth... like those cars, and maybe some guns, planes, other toys. Then I can simulate them in the holodeck. Or replicate them. Hey, between transporters and replicators (and a power source) you pretty much solve all the worlds problems.

It's an oval motor. I went and built a 351W for it, dyno's at 460hp. I like the 427's but it upsets the balance of the car. Bill Cosby had a 427 Turbo automatic. He said it was the scariest car he ever drove.
Similarly to the Viper, most wreck Cobra's within minutes or miles of their 1st drive. People are just not prepared for the power levels compared to weight of the car. 0-100mph and back to zero in 6 seconds.... that's the norm. With a 427 it doesn't get faster than the small block version because of traction is an issue.
Isn't Jeff Spicoli from Fast Times at Ridgemont High or something? Also, there is a Pantera that is occasionally for sale on 44th Ave in Wheat Ridge next to Drumcity.
