    That would be quite a bit of money. So I would buy one of several muscle cars I like (but can't afford).
    BTW, in the latest issue of Hemmings (May), there is a '71 Hemicuda Convertible for sale for $600,000!

    So, one of these for me:

    That's not a bad price at all for a 71. The original 70 hemicuda convertible with the factory-installed 426 are fetching for around $900,000.

    In any event, if i had that much money per month I'd probably buy a cheap, gas-saving daily driver, maybe an accord hybrid v6.

    Yeah, the ad did say it was "realistically" priced.

    If I had a chance to drive a Hemicuda, an Accord would be a huge letdown! I wouldn't be satisfied with anything less than about 400 horsepower.
