Do the body numbers show E9 ?

If so, the car build was started during the 1969 model year at LA.

Isn't that the car Steve Juliano was trying to buy for basically forever ?
While I was never a fan of that front end - admittedly I'm not much of a custom-car guy - it's a significant car in terms of the RTS show cars.

I wonder if the rest of the collection stayed together after they were auctioned?

I think the entire collection was split up, probably a good thing, all in one place + fire = gone

The car is coming up for auction at Mecum Indy this year. So who knows after that.

Yes, Steve Juliano was trying to find this car forever. He did meet the owner, but never tracked down where the car was hidden.

The Duster went to the Brother's Collection in the NW. The Road Runners went to a collector in NJ.

The 3 other RTS cars sold for $ 841 K all in from the #'s as I recall,

The market when Steven had them was one person, Steven. He made the story of them in the past 2 decades for all of us to read about.

Now we have 2 other owners with likely unlimited funds, plus who knows else?

Perhaps they'll all be at MCACN in the future, Most of us will only see them in pictures..

Likely few will ever see them all together because they will be tucked away almost all of the time.

Great story, and interesting to many of us. But at this point kind of a Greek Tragedy.

Keep old mopars alive.

The worst was Bitchin Rides killing a nice 67 R/T Dodge into the chopped top mess they created.

Regardless of whether it was an R/T, I actually kinda liked what they did with the roof, but agree with you on the rest.

To me the R/T represented when the TV producers (re:$$$$$$) started influencing their designs. Had it the R/T been built more subtly like their '64 and '67 Pontiacs, it would have been sooooooo much better.

But, I digress, back to topic.........

For that matter, I'd take the 'Cuda any day of the week over those Superbird/Daytona abominations made out of new Challengers
