This was told to me by the buyer who bought the car from the old man's estate. The neighbor of the old man told his friend the buyer that there was a Cuda in his neighbor's garage. He came out to look at the car and bought it on site knowing what the car was, for a low price. He in turn found some interested buyers, and ended up selling it to the Brothers Collection in Oregon, knowing it would be perserved for history. The buyer did show me pictures of the day he found it in the old man's garage. All this was told to me in June of 2022 at the Eyes on Design show in Grosse Pointe at the Ford Mansion that I was invited to show my Hemi Dart. The car was found in Sterling Heights Michigan about 2 1/2 miles from where I grew up. Nobody spoke of the car back in the day. This is completely wrong. None of it is true.

Ill take that over the 2010ish "Pro Touring" Cable TV- Chip Foose garbage that still ruins mopars to this day. The worst was Bitchin Rides killing a nice 67 R/T Dodge into the chopped top mess they created. Agreed, that '67 R/T was previously owned by a good friend of mine. He had no idea that would happen to his car at the time he sold it.

To them you're a for-profit social media guy, I wouldn't assume they told you the truth about anything, especially considering how they've been handling things with the car (and the guy that shot video a year ago that wasnt allowed to even post it)

Sometimes the "experts" become part of the problem or even the cause.
Glad to see the car still is around but to me looks pretty rough for the miles and care.
STOP POTATO HATE!

People are just speculating and jumping to conclusions from Chinese whispers. 99% of what you read or has been posted above is completely wrong. I've been involved directly with this whole thing since we dug it out of the garage in Sterling Heights, Michigan. If anyone has an questions, I'm happy to answer them to the best of what I'm allow to say.

Put entire story out, blast across social, MSM then picks it up - then it rolls at auction. This is a way better car than that black ghost made up fairy tale

Funny, everyone is wrong but you cant say more and yet you drop the "Chinese whispers" stuff. The little people have no right to the truth.
Time and time again it seems all goes sideways when the hobby becomes the paycheck for some.
