Anyone watching this Hemi Cuda on Ebay, 33K mile car, never restored, orange, body color bumper, vinyl top, its one mean looking ride! Its only slightly over 1million with 4 days to go.

Thanks for posting the link, I just thought this is a interesting car. If these Hemi cars are worth that, then so should a ZL-1 Camaro!

I am stymied as well! From a market standpoint, ZL1s should be considerably more than a '71 Hemi 'Cuda. It is a more rare car/engine package (69 vs. 108). They possess an infinitely more rare motor (in production cars) of 69 vs. over 11,000 hemis. Both possess incredibly terrific looks by most people's standards. '69 Camaro beat the '71 'Cuda to the punch on stuffing this enormous motor in a pony-size car by TWO years (in this comparison). Some things just defy logic. Here is a decent market analysis (albeit mostly a discussion of 70 Hemi 'Cudas) from October 2005 - yeah I know, a LONG time in this market:

Hemi 'Cuda

One thing is for sure. This stuff makes for lively discussion.........

Do you think things might be a tad different if they had allowed a ZL1 option with a convertible Camaro?

What is interesting to me, is that a Hemi Cuda in stock trim and with equal drive train couldn't keep up with an L78 Camaro Much less any of the COPO cars, Iron or aluminum block.

They are still very cool and exciting cars.

I thought it was very interesting and exciting to see and hear the misc HEMI's (real and clones) at Pavillons Mall during the misc B/J auction week
