well, went to arizona. had a great time riding the bike, and hitting the auctions. picked up at very good prices a couple of total hotties. if you like mean detroit muscle.

1971 hemi challenger R/t 3xblack 5900 orig miles - documentation, just a total insane beast. matching

and 1970 boss 429 blue - matching

really slick cars. should be here end of week. figured id share some photos. me likey.

 

another gorgeous car.

 

great pick ups... be sure to post delivery pics

 

Very nice, great cars!

 

That must have been exciting. I always enjoy watching the auctions on Speed. What's it like to actually be there buying? I have been thinking about going for a long time now.

 

Congrats, those are sick purchases!

 

Nice. In the "right" colors too.

 

Wow what a sick purchase!
Congrats!

 

That Challenger is amazing! I have seen lime, orange, plum but dont remember last time I saw black one... must be rare.

 

challenger is probably amongst top 5. little known fact. the hemi cudaswere stock with the shaker hoods, whcih are sick looking. the challengers were not stock that way. i think only 9 hemis' ever produced in 71 had shaker hooks. 18 blacks. x# of 4 speeds. ultimately with those combos, this is 1 of 1 in the world. i have the sheets at the office. but its a nasty awsome machine. i think its like 550 hp or some monstrocity like that. all stock. 5800 miles.
oen fo the top 5 hemi challengers from 71, the year.
definately a sick deal. know the seller, great guy. dude has a collection such that this was the 'kick to the curb' car if you can believe that. him and his buddies have a host of 71 ragtop hemis and otehr ragtop mopars.
for reference, a 71 hemi cuda rag top brings 2mil.
if a challenger rag top maybe another 1mil.
if a triple black, which this guy owns, you turn away 5mil.
oil tycoons who wear jeans from texas love paying up for ragtop hemi cudas.
its a strange world in cuda land. very strange.
