1971 Plymouth Hemi ‘Cuda with a semi-celebrity owner and a long list of factory options, including the
Light Package, the Dana 60 Super Track Rear End, front and rear spoilers, the Rallye instrument cluster,
tinted windows, an AM/FM/Cassette audio system with dual rear speakers and the rear-window louvers.
Most impressive of all, however, is the fact that the car’s racked up just 2,010 miles on the odometer in
its 42-year life, and remains all-original.
Asking price? 1,999,999.00

1949 Cadillac Coupe de Ville prototype resurfaces after 64 years
Only four of the prototypes were built, each different, and this is the only surviving example.
Its history is unique, as well, as it was given as a gift by General Motors to former CEO Charlie Wilson
upon his departure from GM to serve as President Eisenhower's Secretary of Defense in 1953.
During his four-year stint as the defense secretary, Wilson droove the Coupe de Ville prototype.
The car itself is powered by a 331-cubic-inch overhead-valve V-8, the first to come from GM, paired
to a four-speed automatic transmission.

I really do not want one, or do not know if I want one. Most likely NOT.
But interesting article. Oil money car.
The oil-rich Middle East has long been one of the top markets for high-performance, high-priced
supercars, and now it has one to call its own: The W Motors Lykan Hypersport.

Sometimes it is good to dream a little.

Love old Mopars. I miss my Dad's 72 'Cuda with a 340.
I used to deliver to a guy who was the building manager for UPS Corporate before he retired, he also was heavily involved with collecting vintage Ford Mustangs. He got a 1969 or '70 hardtop that was a factory mule that was used to test four-wheel disc brakes. It had a rollbar, racing seats, and a big block engine in it that was installed at the factory. It was supposed to be destroyed after testing, but somehow it got donated to a high school shop class to teach kids to work on cars. When I saw it last, it had the original tires, plug wires, hoses, etc on it along with less than than 10,000 original miles on it. It was quite a car, he towed it to car shows on a trailer.

1BrownWrench alerted me to this police car. Be nice to have one for a Sunday Drive.
The Lamborghini Aventador has a top speed of 217mph and can go from 0 to 62mph in 2.9 seconds.
This is a Dubai Police car version.
I just hope they don't try to throw me in the back!

From all the crazy videos posted on Youtube I would say they probably don't have anyone qualified to drive it. They must wrap their turbans too tight because they sure smash up alot of expensive cars over there.
