Market commentary
Hammered not sold at Russo and Steele Scottsdale in 2007 at $400,000. Then hammered not sold again at Russo and Steele in Monterey later that year at $300,000. Prices for these premium muscle cars plummeted during 2008, so although this car is in the same condition it was with just over 300 more miles than it had in 2007, it brought a painfully smaller amount than was offered back then. People usually wish they had bought a car for cheap when they had the chance and then sold it years later when it got valuable. With this car it's the other way around, wishing you had sold a car back when it was red-hot and settling now that it's cheaper. Even at that, it brought a premium price in today's Hemi 'Cuda market, a premium amply supported by the rarely seen original engine and 4-speed.
