Up to this point, believe 2 of the cars are owned by a collector in NJ, 1 by the Brothers.

It was not the Brothers. It was a gentleman out of California.

They Brothers have the Duster, and the Road Runners are with a guy in NJ.

The auction on the RTS Cuda was very exciting!We enjoyed it! 2 million dollars who'd a thunk it lol they said the owner who was sellingtthe cuda wanted everyone to see the car.So I guess we'll see what happens.They showed Chuck Miller signing autographs on a mecum magazine that had the RTS Cuda on it.That would be a cool collectable to add to my RTS memorabilia collection I have from The Steve Juliano collection from mecum. drive

That was an interesting aside; the owner hid the car away for a half century and now says that he hopes the new owner will show the car. The pre-auction estimate was $500k to $700k. And it actually stalled there for a while. And then BOOM!

$2,000,000 eek

The Black Ghost brought just under a million.

Values of collectable muscle cars may slide..........eventually. But that point is still a ways off if these results count for anything.


Master, again and still

Prices were just crazy!We never thought the RTS Cuda would go over 1mil.What would be cool would be to have all 4 RTS cars at Chryslers at Carlisle this year!And maybe the black ghost challenger there too!Put the 4 RTS cars on the carlisle tshirt,sell diecast of them etc... up drive

I had him crying when I showed him the custom artwork I had commissioned for the car. I've been fortunate to be working with him for the past 18 months.

I predicted the RTS Cuda was going to bring over a million, & the Challenger around $325,000. I was wrong on both, but everybody I knew was waaay underestimating the RTS Cuda. I think it brought what it deserved. The Challenger on the other hand I thought went for WAAAAAY more than it should have.

I should have bought the '71 Roadrunner back in '94 for $25,000 - it was here for sale locally!

Just think, he was planning on $300-400K for the sale of the car, now that much will not even pay the tax bill on $2mil...LOL..

The funny thing about science is that if you change one miniscule parameter you change the entire outcome to the way you want it.

The title will likely be "washed" for a year in Montana to avoid the tax.

that is one ugly car.


It's better to keep your mouth shut and give the impression that you're stupid than to open it and remove all doubt.
