This week we will bring you a handful of Mopars from the Mecum Auction in Kissimmee, Florida happening this coming weekend. Each of these cars is expected to cross the block at more than a half a million bucks, and each of them has the famed Elephant motor: the 426 Hemi.

Our first entry is a one-of-two 1971 Plymouth Hemi ‘Cuda hardtop (Lot F100), ordered in Winchester Gray Mettallic (code GA4). Our sources show that only 59 Hemi ‘Cuda hardtops with the four-speed manual transmission were built that year, with this one showing documentation from Fairfax Chrysler-Plymouth on 3/17/71.

It was ordered with all stripes and chrome deleted, and shows that the D21/A33 Track Pak (A833/Dana 60 SureGrip) was part of the special order. Of course, you can’t miss the legendary Shaker hood (option N96), painted to match the argent grille.

This ‘Cuda is said to be the most-noted, unmolested Hemi E-body car in existence, with just under 59,000 miles on the clock and still wearing the original paint. This unrestored ‘Cuda includes the original invoice, two broadcast sheets, and the documented ownership history, which includes ownership by Frank Badalson, who has owned nearly five dozen performance Mopars over the past few decades.

The car includes the original Hurst pistol-grip shifter, the R-code 426 Hemi and original transmission. It’s expected to see roughly between $800,000 and $1.2 million, and is only one of many Mopars that could see over a million bucks this weekend. 1971 was the final year for the Hemi ‘Cuda, and who knew back then that these cars would sell for 100 times their original value.

So if you had the coin, would this car be part of your stable, or would you hold out for one of the Hemi ‘Cuda convertibles crossing the block this weekend? Do you think these cars are worth this kind of money? Tell us in the comments section below.
