At Mecum’s Indianapolis Auction, a 1970 Plymouth Hemi ’Cuda convertible, one of just 14 built, sold for $1.98m. This was not a surprise, nor a record. But it was a showstopper, as Hemi ’Cuda convertibles have been for years. If you aren’t familiar with the car, $2m-$3.5m prices may seem bizarre for an original $5,500 price tag.
The 1969-1970 Ford Mustang Boss 429 looms large among classic muscle cars, not as the most powerful or quickest, but as one of the most audacious. Mecum’s Monterey auction is offering two Boss 429s, one a 1970 rotisserie restoration and the other a modified 1969.
