A car like that is an investment.

YES! A pre-EPA muscle car, with ALL the horses going to the transmission and rear axle.
I have had a ride in one of those Superbirds, in those days. Go ahead and drool, Tim Taylor.

For that kind of money, the garage should look like a surgical suite, not Cooter’s Pull-a-part.

I’m restoring a 67 Camaro convertible. Verrry similar lines. Took a test drive last week after being on blocks 15 years. Definitely need positraction!

My ‘71 Cuda was Tor-Red. That is a great Muscle car color, so that will help the value.
It doesn’t say what motor this car has. If it’s a original Hemi, $300K in a quality restoration is a sound investment. If it is a 440-4, not so much. A 440-6 car is a toss-up for Spending $300K and the potential of getting that money back in the next 20 years.
I’ve owned about 20 muscle cars from the “muscle car Era -’64-72” and If I had $300K to spend on a restoration, I’d buy a used Hellcat, enjoy the hell out of it and invest the remaining $250K in something that will give me a return.

So who does the hatchet work for Chrysler?
Do they use their own people or do they contract the work out to a Tong?

Since when is a huge sedan with a monster engine a "sports car"? Fast in a straight line, perhaps, but a MGB would eat it up on a tight road.
I think the author needs some learning about cars.

"Iconic sports car"? Iconic car, certainly - but it was a NASCAR homologation special, sold only because the pentastar guys needed a certain number of them on the street in order for NASCAR to recognize it as an oval-track racer. Only a pickup truck could be further from a "sports car".
Must be a real nightmare to park one of those winged Mopars in a compact-car space.

Superbirds were one of the stupidest looking cars to ever hit the road. (and I used to be a Mopar fan)
