This May, the Mecum Auction in Indianapolis will see a 1970 Plymouth Hemi Cuda cross its auction block. We've seen plenty of Cudas cross the block before, and they typically fetch a strong selling price. This one, however, will have collectors drooling. It's an unrestored example that was one of the last ten ever built, and it's showing just 81 miles on its odometer.

Eighty. One.

The car was purchased new by a man who intended to use the car for drag racing. He swapped in some parts to make the car faster, but carefully stowed away the original pieces in case he needed them in the future. The car made about 30 passes at a number of tracks local to the owner, and it even reached down into the ten-second range on the strip. Sadly, the owner passed away after that first season of drag racing.
