74 mile '70 Hemi Cuda, the lowest mileage Hemi Cuda in existance

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.

Bill made approximately 30 passes at three local drag strips, occasionally dipping into the high 10-second range.

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 pushed it around for just 5280 ft.

Just one mile in 16 years. 330 ft a year on average.

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 convertible sold for $2.2 million. $1.7 million more for being a convertible.
