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 Most Expensive Collectible Cars - Forbes.com 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
