Serie: Des personnalitées et des Plymouth Barracuda

Collectors will pay huge premiums for cars once owned by celebrities. Rather amusing when you think about it! Imagine, for example, if there were two identical 1970 Hemi 'CUDA hardtops up for auction by Russo and Steele at their January Scottsdale sale. Both are matching numbers, both are similarly equipped with original 426 Hemi engine, 4-speed transmission (restored and dyno-tested), Argent shaker, black velvet paint, black vinyl interior and roof covering, rallye instrument cluster and rallye wheels. The only difference is that one was owned by Academy Award winner Nicholas Cage. And that's the very car to be auctioned by Russo and Steele in January. So how much more would you pay for a car that the actor sat in? I'm guessing that his name and fame will increase the price by at least 25%. Although I admire Cage's acting I wouldn't add an extra penny to my bid. On the other hand if Twiggy had set her petite bottom into that seat in 1970, I might be persuaded to part with a few extra bucks just to recall an era when mini-skirts beat maxi-power.

Edward John Belfour (né en 21 avril 1965 à Carman au Manitoba, Canada), connu sous le nom de Ed Belfour, est un gardien de but de hockey sur glace

During the shop’s restoration of Belfour’s own ’71 440 Six-Barrel/four-speed convertible (one of five built), the shop’s staff used another of his cars as a reference. It’s a ’71 440 Six-Barrel car, too, but a coupe. It’s a 25,000-original-mile example that Belfour purchased from the original owner. Both the coupe and convertible were built in December 1970 – in fact, they were built only a day apart! We decoded the fender tags of each and found the coupe was built on Dec. 17, 1970 and the convertible was built the next day, Dec. 18, 1970.

The shop is owned by former NHL hockey goalie Ed Belfour. He has a penchant for Pentastar cars. The 1971 ’Cudas happen to be a particular favorite of his.
