Wonder if that still exists. Looks like a Juliano item.

Very True. Steven and I chatted about the RTS Cuda many a time. He knew where it was but the owner who is probably elderly at this point (or deceased) would not sell for any amount of money. According to SJ, he said that the owner was a holocaust survivor and he felt since he had no control over what the nazis took from him that he had control over the fate of the RTS Cuda.
SJ made crazy offers to him including a generous offer to buy houses for all the owners kids + $$. Still no sale. I knew it ate at him over the years that he could not get it. He even had tons of what he called "trick" parts aka "lunch pail" stuff waiting for it. That meant it was going to get the Steven Juliano treatment (an over the top resto).

If anyone else has more info to add to the story or any corrections to make please let me know.

Steven's collection has another earlier 426 HEMI cut-away engine (cross-rammed??) the above 1970-'71 RTS HEMI engine belongs to another collector - it was also on display with the HEMI E-body convertibles at MCACN a few years ago.

You are correct Chris, there's a little more to that story, but it would stir up some chit so I'll leave it alone, Steven had a few parts off the car, last I talked to him he was trying to negotiate for the hood, so he could DNA the paint layout/colors/etc, Steve said the car was too far gone (rust wise) Steve's intention was ultimately to build a clone using what RTS/Chuck Miller made parts he could negotiate off the original car as that was the only way the car would be "saved"

car is in excellent original condition (hood included), original paint, not needing a resto, just like A34plymouth said, the seller wasnt selling no matter what. Steve spread some "misinformation" throughout the years so others wouldnt want to contact the owner.

we both would call the owner who would never answer the phone. i got his name and contact info, but it doesnt matter.

yes he has an agreement with the owners son, but the owner was such a unhappy guy, that the son doesnt have any relationship with him. and, the as of 111 or 12 years ago the owners 90 something year old mother was still alive. so, this guy may have it locked up in his garage for years to come, lol

I agree Steven was a master with the 'misinformation' concept when need be.
Steven once told, what he referred to as' an outsider'who thought he was on the track to locating the car, and then likely hold the info for ransom,... that the car was in fact in Ontario near the US border when in fact it is Michigan....or is it..... grin
Hope he is smiling from the beyond

The display engine was at MCACN. Owned by a collector in OK - Scott L.
Neat piece for your showroom.
