Chassis no. XS29J8B379317. Dark blue over black vinyl. 426/425hp Hemi, automatic, tinted windshield, stripe delete, hub caps, red line tires, Tic-Toc-Tach, bucket seats, 8-track, aftermarket water temp and oil pressure gauges under the dash.

Evaluation: Very clean engine bay housing the original Hemi. It has never been restored but was always consistently maintained. The car was, however, cosmetically restored in 1992. There are no major flaws but the paint is starting to show its age, as is the interior. It’s a commendably original, genuine, honest Hemi R/T. And with the dark paint, stripe delete and steel wheels, it’s quite the sleeper.

Bottom Line: There’s nothing sleepy about this price, however. It was the most expensive car in Houston this year and it deserved to be, but the number is still surprisingly high for an automatic car.
