The car on the picture is the “personal” 1971 Plymouth Hemi ‘Cuda of
the Beach Boy singer Al Jardine. This muscle car was highly touted in
the run-up to the auction block next week at the Barrett-Jackson event
in Scottsdale, Ariz, but pulled from sale on Friday.
The reason is that the vehicle had been reported stolen in 1975, in
St. Louis. A few hours later, however, Scottsdale police said it was all
a misunderstanding, and Barrett-Jackson reinstated the car.
It seems that the problem was a ’71 Plymouth with that VIN had indeed
been reported stolen, but after that it was recovered and there was no
update in the police database. What’s more – such thing could happen
when a less desirable version of a model is upgraded by customizers to
the most sought-after version. For instance, a ‘71 Cuda with a
6-cylinder engine may have a Hemi V-8 swap. But this car customized in
plum-and-white, had been advertised by Barrett-Jackson as “Al Jardine’s,
of the original Beach Boys, personal Hemi ‘Cuda re-creation. It has
been built for Jardine to his specifications and is titled in his name.
