The 1971 Plymouth Hemi ‘Cuda Convertible is already a legend, with only a handful ever produced. But among those few, some left the factory with mismatched trim pieces, rare color combinations, or unique interior options due to assembly line oversights. These accidental one-offs have become the holy grail for Mopar collectors, regularly commanding multimillion-dollar bids at auction. Their scarcity, paired with factory mistake provenance, makes each one a priceless artifact of American muscle car history.
