Awsome car Bob, good luck with the sale. Any plans for what you are going to build next?

Incredible car but I am a little missing something how a site dedicated to driven cars honors a car simply for driving? A burnout or two? It is his car and his to do what he see fit. I agree that he is one of the few that even did drive such a high end car but what message is being set when a car simply is driven? For $750k I might expect to know it's performance. A Ferrari Enzo is $500k and has had it's performance proven weather you like the out come or not.

I can't wait to see what that car brings. It has been driven which means it has to have wear showing and the tuck em away guys might not like seing that. The hardcore performance guys I am sure would be all over that with a solid 0-200-0 number. Heck I think BJ probably should be throwing some fee his way as it will draw them in big time. Besides the build I am sure there a a ton of extra fees including repairs that have to be added up to show a break even price. That said I think it will bring the $1 million as it just might be the most known Hemi ride out there and no wait to get it built!!

Good luck with the sale and can't wait to see the next.

Just to reinterate some of what has already been said by Steve R and others.

Did you read this thread??

One, the car stacked up pretty well against the competition at that event,
Two, he DID actually put it on the track, both there and here. Sadly, the output shaft broke on the dragstrip so no autocross the next day. However, it was brought here to run and be beat on.
Three, I followed the car for three days on the Power Tour and watched it run all day long, all speeds and all conditions, including rain and do fine, then go to Indy Goodguys that weekend and do fine there.
Four, it ran the Autocross in Nashville and came in second there.
Five, did I forget to mention it DID win SMOTY?
Six, Chip Foose pick of show at Chip's deal at Year One earlier this year.
This car has been all over the map this year, will be at the Playboy mansion later this month, then at SEMA and who knows where else before it goes to BJ. I am not sure how much more it needs to prove to Bob, and since it is his dime, I doubt he cares what anyone else thinks. Like everyone else, he has been there done that now, and I am sure already planning the next car. Bob has no problem telling you he can ONLY have one million dollar car at the time, however, how many can say that?
One other thing, Cody, he does have the full race deal for the car, and has changed all the windows, etc out more than once. He also has a spare frontend (value 100K) just in case he breaks the c/f front end. So the new owner will not only get the Cuda but will need another trailer for all the spare parts.

I am not sure about the 180 speed but I KNOW it has been 160 (on the interstate)

Totally hypothetical since I haven't heard anything about the other car being for sale:

I wonder what the final price difference might be between Johnsons Cuda and Poteet's Barracuda, given that Poteet's car actually did make it to the competitive event that it was ostensibly built for, ran, has a time slip and a world record.

I have never paid much attention to B-J. How do cars with competitive histories or world record holders fare against show cars/street cars?

The Cuda is a very cool car and has taken home some awesome awards. I hope Bob sells the car for a price he is happy with.

If Bob wants to drive a 750K car like he stole it then go right ahead. I just hate when people equate money with reality. If the car was worth 50K then people would say nothing about how it was driven. People should not be amazed when cars of high investment get driven and should not judge them as better or worse for it. Some people would probably have a cow thrashing a 100K camaro also. The Mule is not cheap and it also has had some fun miles on it.

Build what you like and enjoy it, SEMA soon baby.

You are absolutely correct Stuart. The mule is not the only car Charley owns and enjoys either. Car art is ok for some I guess, but I love it when people thrash their stuff whether it cost $10K or $1M. Of course everytime the mule is out on the track, it gets the same controversy. "Why didn't it do this" and "Why didn't it make that hp......" blah blah blah. Instead of people just "getting it" and understanding that the owner has nothing to prove to anyone but himself. The mule has done what now? 4 complete Power Tours? yet some still want to know why it will not run 9sec quarter mile times on street tires, 1.5g on a skidpad and get 50mph.

Don't be dragging the Mule into this discussion. The Mule is low buck compared to Bob's Cuda.......

**Stuart Adams** · #50 10-02-2006, 01:36 PM

But it is so cool. It inspired me when it first came out.
