Barrett-Jackson Collector Car Auction in Scottsdale Arizona

Don’t miss Barrett-Jackson Collector Car Auction in Scottsdale Arizona this January 13-20, 2013! This years event will feature tons of some of the most collectable cars ever!

“Barrett-Jackson, the World’s Greatest Collector Car Auctions™, announced today that it will offer one of the most desirable Mopar muscle cars ever built – the FC7-In Violet Plymouth HEMI ‘Cuda Convertible, one of one in 1971 – as part of its exclusive Salon Collection at its famed Scottsdale auction, January 19, 2013. The vehicle best-known for its “Plum Crazy” color will be alongside other incredible vehicles up for sale at the 42^ndannual auction January 13-20, 2013, under the company’s iconic quarter-mile tent.

Through a miraculous turn of events, it was rediscovered by long-time HEMI ‘Cuda Convertible hunter, Harold Sullivan, after the car was stolen nearly 30 years prior.  When Sullivan found the ‘Cuda shell on New Year’s Eve in 2001 it was covered in weeds and underbrush and only five days away from disappearing into a scrap-recycling yard.

As one of only 11 ever made, this particular HEMI ‘Cuda Convertible features the last factory-assembled 426cid HEMI V8 engine, with two 4 barrel carburetors, 727 automatic transmission, Super Track Pak package with Dana 60 rear end, 4.11 ratio gears and a power convertible top. This was also the only model year the ‘Cuda sported four headlights and fender “gills.”
