They made them at http://www.timemachinesinc.com/pastcustoms/71vipercuda/ 6 years ago, just an extra floor structure, wheel tub work, and add a couple inches to the Viper frame rails to extend the wheel base for the cuda wheel locations.

Like almost half the cars I see at car shows and SEMA, it was made to tour, show, and sell. 3 months later, it's at auction in the January Barrett Jackson http://justacarguy.blogspot.com/2011/01/famous-vehicles-for-sale-at-barrett.html

Muscle car review, April 2009 issue, page 18-22

Found in 1989 by then just hired editor of Muscle Car Review, Tom Shaw, the price was 2500. The sellers were behind in the payments on their Hyundai, so they sold the Cuda, which wasn't running very well, and was rusty.

It had mismatched rims, the hemi had been lost and a 340 was in the engine bay, and billboards had been hand painted on. But it still had the spoliers, the bucket seats, and the rear window slats.

"Only 107 Hemi 'Cudas rolled off the production line this model year, and of these, only 59 were equipped with a 4-speed manual transmission."

For the full gallery and write up of this car at a 2008 auction listing when it sold for 328 thou to collector Bill Sefton http://www.russoandsteele.com/collector_car/1971_plymouth_cuda_hemi_coupe/7462.html

A 62 yr old bought it, took off some factory stuff carefully for storage, installed race parts.... went racing for the rest of the year. Died that winter. His widow died a few years later and the son sold off the car for $3500 in 1977.

The buyer reinstalled the original parts, owned the car for 16 years, and only drove it for pushed it around for just 5280 ft.
Just one mile in 16 years.
330 ft a year on aveage.

My granny's chicken's fly farther than that with a good tail wind.

So it passed through some collectors hands for investment purposes, and in 2005 is purchased with 61 miles. This last owner tuned it up for proper operation, and auctioned it off for $500,000. It's the lowest mileage 70 Hemicuda in existance, and likely it'll never be driven over 100 miles. Sad, that's car abuse. To never drive it... might as well buy a house for investment purposes. It's never going anywhere either.

If I read right, a 71 hemi convertable sold for $2.2 million. $1.7 million more for being a convertable.
