Woody's other beaut

1970 AAR Cuda. Clean, rare, strong and fast. Nuff said.

67 Barracuda, owned since 68 by the same owner

Survivor with about 160 thou miles, 6cyl, black and yellow plates, only had 1100 miles when purchased.

Thats the closest I've been to a one owner survivor lately... and that is really cool. Nothing yet in terms of restoration, that may be in the future, but the costs of restoration are kinda steep... for those of us who aren't wealthy.

Very nice to see this survivor fires up instantly, and doesn't hesitate to go for a drive. Really cool owner, Chris, has made a floor shifter when the column mechanism went south, and put these super cool 60's mags on, and hasn't messed with this car at all... why? It never needed to have all the wiring screwed up like we always find has happened... no aftermarket radio, just the orig AM still in place, no cb aftermarket tach.

I think it's way cool that Chris hasn't changed the cuda from it's "As Made" condition, other than to remove the wheel well trim to allow for modern bigger tires.

Mike Pollard's dual quad, dual plug, 68 Hemi Barracuda.

74 mile '70 Hemi Cuda, $500,000

A 62 yr old bought it, took off some factory stuff carefully for storage, installed race parts.... went racing for the rest of the year. Died that winter. His widow died a few years later and the son sold off the car for $3500 in 1977.

The buyer reinstalled the original parts, owned the car for 16 years, and only drove it for pushed it around for just 5280 ft.
Just one mile in 16 years.
330 ft a year on aveage.

My granny's chicken's fly farther than that with a good tail wind.

So it passed through some collectors hands for investment purposes, and in 2005 is purchased with 61 miles. This last owner tuned it up for proper operation, and auctioned it off for $500,000. It's the lowest mileage 70 Hemicuda in existance, and likely it'll never be driven over 100 miles. Sad, that's car abuse. To never drive it... might as well buy a house for investment purposes. It's never going anywhere either.

If I read right, a 71 hemi convertable sold for $2.2 million. $1.7 million more for being a convertable.
