$2 Million Hemicuda

[njsteve]

The last US production hemicuda ragtop (May 71 built) was my old yellow one which I dont think has sold (Charley do you know?) I believe one of the two export cars (1 grey, 1 blue) may have a higher VIN. Any one have any additional gossip? Several people have turned down that amount but I havent heard of any actual sales. -NJSteve

I don't have the article but I assume they are talking about the White with black billboards one that Gibson restored.

Yep....thats the one Charley.

Article states the current owner is Bill Weimann, same guy that paid $1 million for the blue car about a year ago. The white/black billboard car was a French-export. History on the car is a bit fuzzy, but it does state that Gibson completed the restoration last June.

Was the blue one Milton Robson's old car?

[Charley Lillard]

Yes the blue one was Milts old car. I think Bill is supposed to be on the Cover of Esquire magazine with some print about the white car. He will look so Dapper.

I have heard that there were 9 - 71 Hemicuda convertibles made. (7 domestic, 2 for export) I have always wondered:
Have all 9 survived?
What were the color combinations?

[njsteve]

The ones I can recall are as follows:

1 yellow/white int, automatic
1 butterscotch/black int, auto
1 orange/orange int, auto
1 red/black int, auto
2 blue/blue int (both 4 speeds)
1 winchester grey (export)

I dont have the info on the white car
