A couple of "Cuda" experiences.....Our neighbor next door when I was growing up was 3 years older than I. In 1970 he bought a brand spanking new Cuda 440/6pak/4spd white with a black vinyl top. I was in absolute awe of the acceleration that car had, in other words...yes I lusted for his car. I ran into him several years ago and he told me the car went away after he got married and a baby was on the way, it was all about economics.

Sometime in the mid 90's a local collector car dealer had a low mileage 70 Hemi Cuda/4 spd on his sales floor, orange with a black vinyl top Price was $40k. I knew exactly where the price on this car was headed, no where but up.....way up. 652 Hemi Cudas were built in 1970 with 14 as convertible's which are now in the million dollar range.
I had the first of three children getting ready to start college and it just was not doable...it's all about economics, timing and priorities for us working stiffs.
