Jay and the Hurst Hemi Under Glass... and the wreck



Just a bad choice of location, because the bowl shape of the track meant that they had to slow down quickly from the wheelstand and then turn to avoid hitting the farside wall, and then the slicks hooked on the soft tall sidewall, and flip!

WHOA! Stolen! The mod top Hemi Cuda of Steve Juliano, the only mod top Hemi Cuda, and worth 1.4 million bucks



Last featured in 2014 in Muscle Car Review, it was just this April when it was due to get loaded up and moved from the mansion in Pelham Manor (just North of the Bronx, between the golf courses and the country club) to the collection in Los Angeles, when the security company sent the alarm to Juliano. http://www.nydailynews.com/autos/news/plymouth-barracuda-worth-1-4m-stolen-westchester-home-article-1.2620854


Juliano owned Manhattan nightclubs and his father ran the Copacabana in Times Square. His collection of Mopar stuff is unmatched in the world. See the inside of his personal museum here: http://justacarguy.blogspot.com/2008/11/steven-juliano-collection-im-betting.html

beware the ugly beast, as it might house a monster motor



If the Ebay listing is correct, this 300C sat at a dealership unsold until 1990, when they took it out to play around, stuck in a crate 472, backed it with a race 727, and then they parked it in 2009.

Since it's claimed to never have been titled, and the MSO is missing, it's close to being something to avoid... smells like a problem waiting to be discovered the moment you take possession.

But that hemi.. hmmm.
