whats it sell for in the states 8000-10000 new
how can there be worth 70000 more used

Probably because it was a one off concept car that was displayed by GM... ownership and documentation go a long ways... just like the Howard Hughes car went way higher because it was owned by him.

That Cuda that went to France was reportedly the last Hemi Cuda ever made which is why it's so valuable. Well with only approx. 14 or less Hemi 'vert Cudas for each of the 70 and 71 model years, they are ALL worth money but that one is the big one. It's white too IIRC. I believe the 2nd last one was a Canadian export car.

I saw that one and didn't think it would go that high... but with the documented race history and only 63 or so miles on it... plus the rare LS6... it's all about having the right buyers ready to fork out the money... </font>[/QUOTE]There was another LS6 Chevelle that went for around 600k

The guy that bought the Vert for 1.15 Million was the guy who ended up winning the bus for 4 million.....apparently the guy who bid 4.1 didn't win cause there was some confusion as to what was going on, they checked the tapes and he infact didn't know that he had bid the 4.1..........

The guy that bought the bus bought something like 52 or 56 cars that weekend.............somewhere around 20 million in total.............

Unfortunately, undriven is probably closer to the truth.... [img]graemlins/cry.gif[/img]

If you have $20M to buy cars, you have a big garage to store them in, or you re-sell them to people who do....either way, they wind up sitting in a room somewhere, getting dusted off a couple times a month and shown off to a few friends once in a while....
