They only made 5 four speeds. This gold one and my old orange one were the only original shaker 4 speed cars.
After perusing the listing and seeing the last photo, I saw that he owns my old 440+6 four speed ragtop as well! Small world. I always wondered where it ended up after I sold it in 1986. He has quite the collection of Mopars.

What do you think it’ll go for?

1.5 million. The recent similar sale of a 440+6 1971 Cuda ragtop was coincidentally another old car of mine that I sold to the late Steve Juliano in 1988. It was one of the 12 automatics with 19,000 miles on it. Similar amazing restoration. It sold for $1.155,000 last year and is up for auction again at Mecum next week. (actually it's listed in their boutique section and not going over the block).

The other funny thing is that there are two other 1971 Cuda 440+6 ragtops up for auction at Mecum next week - a Curious Yellow auto (restored) and a Hemi Orange auto (unrestored) Both had shaker hoods and billboards added after the fact.

Reminds me of the 1971 Barracuda GY8 Gold, white/blk interior convertible 318 3-spd that I chased in the late 80's that was located on Klenk Island in Detroit. Cranky original owner and car was all original, when I was finally able to check it out and buy it... ..........if you opened a door you needed a floor jack to jack the car back up to get the door to close, I passed on it.

Gold car on ebay sold at Mecum Glendale last year for somewhere in the High 700k range. Sold in the "bid goes on"

For the extremely low production number of 71' Six Pack converts its amazing to see 5 for sale right now. Thats almost 1/3 of the production currently for sale.
