Muscle car madness? - Feb. 1, 2005

NEW YORK (CNN/Money) - When people start paying more than $100,000 for 30- to 40-year-old Plymouths, Pontiacs and Chevrolets, some classic car collectors start to worry.
These days, in fact, a bolted-together clone of a 30-year-old Plymouth can go for six figures
"Classic muscle cars" generally means two-door American cars, built in the decade beginning in 1964, with back seats and beefy engines. The Pontiac LeMans Tempest with the GTO high-performance option package is widely considered the first true muscle car.

a very well-made clone of a 1971 Hemi Cuda convertible -- a higher-performance version of the Barracuda -- could sell for as much as $180,000, according to McKeel Hagerty, president of Hagerty Insurance, a company that specializes in insuring collectible cars.
1971 Hemi Cuda convertibles are, today, the most valuable of all muscle cars. Very few exist -- only 11 were produced, at most -- and the few that survive are worth over $2 million each

That 1987 Royale sale--an $8.7 million result at a Christie's auction in London--helped set the tone for top-tier collector cars that came after. "This was the first ever 'mega' collector-car price achieved at auction," Kidston says. "Some would argue it sparked the late 1980s boom in classic cars."

That boom, a period of wild speculation from 1988 to 1989, saw collector-car prices soar, so that even "ordinary" Ferraris like the 512 BB Boxer of the early 1980s brought nearly $300,000. Today, that same car struggles to make $70,000 at auction.

Million-dollar muscle car? - Sep. 11, 2003

Which had the bigger price tag? Hint: It wasn't the Ferrari.
That's right, a real 1971 Plymouth Hemi Cuda Convertible (Nash Bridges drove a fake) can be worth as much as $1 million, according to those who track collector car values.

That's $1 million if you can find someone willing to sell theirs, which will be tough, given that only 11 were produced that year
Million-dollar deals for classic cars -- even multimillion-dollar deals -- are rare but not unheard of. In August 2002, a Cobra Daytona Coupe sold for $4.4 million.

The real selling price of a car like his has probably surpassed $1 million, he said. He claims to have gotten several offers over that for his car.

And the Final Word
"I don't think anyone today would sell their Hemi for $1 million," he said

Omigosh. I think I've found my twin.

But, I'd like three more. TVR sagaris, the GTR (R35), & the EVO X.

Bas. I'm happy.

Seriously, I'd pick muscle over japs. I'm not that fond of driver aids/electronic crap. Except ABS.

My initial choice would have been a Tuned Import... Since Exotics are too classy and pain to take out as everyone is staring at you.

But looking at the New gen Mustangs and the Specs on the CHARGER HEMI SRT... I wud love to have one of those for the sheer grunt that these cars have...

[varun_patra]

Has to be a tuned import for me .. But if there is such a car with the handling of an exotic , raw power of an american muscle and the quickness of a tuned import , i would love to own that .....

I like you a little more every day. And for those nights out on town, where every import with an attitude messes with you, the name's Viper, Hennessey Twin-Turbo Viper.
