Rare 1971 Plymouth Hemi 'Cuda Convertible gets record $4.8 million auction bid, but it's not enough

French export is one of three muscle cars like it

"A rare 1971 Plymouth Hemi "Cuda Convertible muscle car received a high bid of $4.8 million at the Mecum Auctions event in Indianapolis Friday night, but it wasnt enough to seal the deal.

The car is just one of three like it that were built with a 426 Hemi V8 and four-speed manual transmission that year and was originally exported to a buyer in France.

One of the other examples was auctioned at a Mecum event in 2014 for $3.5 million, which remains a record for the model and traditional muscle cars, but the $4.8 million offer wasn't high enough to meet the seller's reserve price on the car in Indianapolis, which had a pre-auction estimate up to $6..5 million.

Plymouth built a total of 11 or 12 "Cuda Convertibles with the 426 Hemi V8 in 1971, the others with automatic transmissions, but even the defunct brand's current owner, Stellantis, isn't exactly sure how many.

There were several multimillion-dollar sales of American cars in Indianapolis, however, that included a 1936 Duesenberg Model J Rollston Convertible Berline for $2,800,000, a 1967 Shelby 427 S/C Cobra Roadster for $2,800,000 and a 1930 Duesenberg Model SJ Rollston Convertible that for $2,970,000..."

That's crazy. I was bidding on it too but dropped out at 4.2 million.
I just won't pay any more than that for it.

Forget about that car. Just buy a used Challenger SRT Hellcat and chop the top off. What a steal. My mom had a 70 Barracuda with a small 318 V8. Even at my tender age, I realized that there was something wrong with a car that would lose traction in the rear so easily. That convertible, with a heavier, more powerful engine would be one dangerous car.

There was no gas cap door. You push the tab on the side and the chrome door/cap would flip up. The turn signals were tricked out to look like rally lamps. The first time I shifted the automatic stick, I cut my thumb. I guess I was too excited. That's the breaks, I didn't care about that because I was happy as a clam.

Back in the late 80's I stopped getting cool cars and started getting boring cars. These days, I like to drive generic type cars that nobody will notice. My next used car I get will probably be a small Toyota SUV so we can have a matching set. Our next car after that will probably be an electric car.. The idea of getting a brand-new car terrifies me - that's way too big of a responsibility!

Do you have a local tab for "Bring a Trailer"?

No matter, sounds like you might dig one of these, but red is still cop
bait so...

https://bringatrailer.com/listing/1991-toyota-mr2-85/

This SW20 shows 83k miles and is offered with service records, a clean
Carfax report, and clean Nevada title in the sellers name.

The mid-mounted turbocharged 2.0L 3S-GTE inline-four was rated at 200
horsepower at 6,000 rpm and 200 lb-ft of torque at 3,200 rpm when new.
The timing belt, tensioner, water pump, oil pump, and seals are said to
have been replaced in August 2020, while a replacement alternator was
installed in 2019.

The MR2 are pretty cool cars but I don't have the facilities to maintain a mid-engine turbo engine i.e., a garage that I can keep a car in for a few months or years. I changed a timing belt and water pump on a VW and what a mess that was! I used my parent's car port for a couple of weeks - that was me being a bad son!
Something simple with a front engine with rear wheel drive would be my cup of tea i.e., an older Mazda Miata would be fine. Unfortunately, my wife is scared to death of those things. That's the breaks.
