81 Mile 1970 Hemi Cuda
This could be the Holy Grail of muscle cars; a virtually unused, unmolested 1970 Hemi Cuda. Purchased new with the intentions of being a strip car, it went into hibernation after the owner passed away shortly thereafter. This E-body is a museum piece that’s trading hands like a Picasso. Sold for half a million at Barrett in 2007, it’s now going across the auction block again at Mecum next month. Find more info at Barn Finds. More pics after the jump!

A Proper Dodge Charger Owner’s Manual
Wrecked Challenger Went to Auction
Back in January, we brought you a piece on a Dodge Challenger that met a telephone pole unexpectedly. Classic Dodge Challenger Wrecked Near Farmingdale, New Jersey. It appears the owner collected the insurance check and the insurance company got one banged up E body. Bangshift found the car on Copart, where it has since been sold. Here’s hoping the new owner brings her back to her former glory. Seeing the car immediately following the accident was painful enough but seeing her abandoned in a lot and covered in snow is heartbreaking. More pics after the jump.
