C.Miller sold Corvairs also![;)] Later..............Keith

I don't believe they went that hi, I think the top price for a Hemi-Cuda was around $325K. If you want to look at the auction results log on to www,barrett-jackson.com . Muscle cars and hot rods were the big money cars this year, although a few classics did see some pretty hefty price tags. [|(]

I most probably have as much invested in die cast cars as I do my trains. [:D]

"The Judge" is so cool! I know that color orange is still one of my favorite colors - in fact, all of the racing planes I do has that same color incorporated into the paint schemes. I even went to the Pontiac dealer (circa 1969?) and bought a bunch of those full size "Judge decals" and put them on the upper and lower wing surfaces.

Thanks for the memories, Tom!

Muscle was hot at Barrett-Jackson, but I was more surprised by the Viper-powered Chrysler Airflow modified that went for 550K. There were also two 1971 383 Cudas that topped 100K in bidding - 383, not Hemi or 440 powered.
