I am pleased to announce the 1970 unrestored, original 1970 Hemi 'cuda convertible that recently came out of long term hibernation wil be joining us for our first Official Unveiling of an unrestored car at the upcoming Muscle Car and Corvette Nationals show in November.
While those of us into these cars have known about this one for years, the story is truly amazing.
Back in mid 1969, a young man decided to order up his ultimate dream car. And dream car it is! BS27R 426 Hemi 'cuda convertible, 4-speed, power windows, rallye dash and a whole lot more. Triple Black and somewhat subtle, it is a "stop you in your tracks" beauty. Driven on a regular basis, (this is in Texas), the owner would use it until 1976, racking up about 35k miles when he decided to order a new car, a brand new Chrysler LeBaron. Also loaded up with options, it proved to be far more comfortable than the Hemi rag, so the 'cuda ended up safely tucked away...until about a month ago.
Yes...back when we did the MCACN E-Body Hemi convertible Invitational we tracked him down and extended the invitation. And of course, several of the active buyers of these cars also tracked him down offering to purchase it over the years. All offers and attempts were turned down.
Times and situations change, and I am pleased to announce that Darryl Wischnewsky, a long time supporter and participant of the MCACN show recently became the next caretaker/owner. You may remember some of Darryls cars and the Unveilings he has done with Apex Autosports. His collection includes numerous Miopars, including a '71 black Hemi 'cuda hardtop that Andrew and the Apex Autosports crew will unveil this year, the '68 Hemi Roadrunner and the Last Hemi Charger, also Unveiled with us.
We will be presenting this car for its first public appearance at the Muscle Car and Corvette Nationals show. This will be the first time we do an Official Unveiling of an UNrestored car. This will take place Saturday, November 19 at 9:30 am, shortly after show opening.
After all of the Official Unveilings, Darryl will do a walk-around of the car and a Q&A session, right at the car.
We are truly honored to be able to be the host for this.
Yep...they are still out there and we truly appreciate all of you who agree to share these historical automobiles and more importantly, the stories.
Please help us spread the word and please plan on joining us!
