Would I pay 60K for an Apple I? No, but I also wouldn't pay 200K for a Hemi Cuda, inboth cases largely because I simply don't have the cash. But even if I did there are other toys, I'd rather own.
I do find it a bit funny that people are complaining about a 60K example of computer history as it being a waste of money, but get all excited and have no problem at all when an Original Hemi Cuda body rolls across the auction block and sells for 200K.
Wow someone is willing to pay 200K for a car that can maybe do a 13 sec quarter mile on its BEST day. Stop from 60 to zero in a block and half and go through a slalom at 40 Mph, maybe. The sad reality is that your wife's V6 Camry would probably beat almost any stock "muscle car" on bias ply tires. Hell, the new V6 Camaro would put most muscle cars to shame, by running reliable low 14 sec quarter mile times.
Yet, we want the Hemi Cuda for the same reason that we want an Apple I. It is an automotive / technological legend. It was first or best of its breed. They both impacted the culture in innumerable ways, for both better and sometimes worse.

very true, people spend big money on weird stuff all the time. I guess it was worth 200k to someone out thereThe cool factor. For computer geeks the Apple I is pretty freakin' cool. To each his own.
As far as being able to drive my fictitious E Body, the reality is that when a car approaches that kind of value it becomes a trophy, something you rub with a diaper and ogle.
It would be like owning a vintage civil war Colt Revolver, or a vintage lever action .30 caliber rifle. You don't buy it, or the E-Body, or the Apple I to actually use it. You buy it because it is 100% cool.
Just because YOU don't find it cool doesn't mean it's not. Keep in mind, that the value of anything is simply what someone will pay for it.

Yup, but without the stamp, the price would be a lot lower, since it would be dealer/LEO only
Cool thing, if you can get one…but HK isn't selling parts here anymore, from what the guy at the range said - their HK autos on the rental line are disappearing as they break and can't get replacement parts.
