A highly coveted , one of only 14 ever produced, will be a star attraction at the upcoming Mecum Auctions event in Monterey on August 17, 2024. This exquisite vehicle, powered by a 426 CI Hemi V-8 engine and featuring an automatic transmission, is estimated to fetch between $2,000,000 and $2,500,000. With an odometer reading of just 26,324 miles, this Lemon Twist-colored convertible is a rare gem.
Its tan interior and black convertible top create a striking visual contrast, making it a standout even among classic car enthusiasts. The vehicle's VIN, BS27R0B305097, further authenticates its originality and provenance. Among the 14 Hemi Cuda convertibles produced in 1970, only nine were equipped with automatic transmissions.
This particular model is even rarer, being one of just three built for the Canadian market, as verified by a Dave Wise Report. Its extensive documentation includes two broadcast sheets, a detailed ownership history, and a comprehensive set of restoration photos and paperwork. The Hemi Cuda's journey into the collector's world began with a no-expense-spared rotisserie restoration by Legendary Motorcar in Halton Hills, Ontario.
The restoration process saw the body stripped to bare metal and refinished to OEM specifications, with correct-style production markings and tags meticulously reapplied throughout the engine bay and undercarriage. The car's chrome was triple plated, and its stainless steel trim polished to perfection. Under the hood, the 426 Hemi engine.
