1973-1974 Cuda,Barracuda,Challenger Prices

[TelisSE440]

Back in '96 when I got my Barracuda everyone wanted '70 or '71 cars. You could pick up the later years for practically nothing. No one considered them muscle cars after '71.  But now, even though the '70 and '71 cars are still worth more and more popular, the cap has narrowed a lot because more people want to get into the e-body hobby and Mopar only made a limited number of these cars. And besides the all the years are pretty much the same with only minor cosmetic and engine changes.

  When I was searching for a 'cuda in 2006 the prices for driver quality cars on Ebay would sometimes be 8k (73-74 of course)!!! And to think I didn't like it back then, but they are practically the same pretty cudas as the 70-71s and now you can't buy them for a reasonable price

Yes it was.

Keep in mind that the collectable 70 and 71 Cuda's are getting harder to find (in good condition).  This is causing "us guys" to look at 72-74 models and the prices on them are going up.

I went to a Cruise In yesterday and there was a constant crowd around my car.  No one seemed to care that it was a 73.  All they see is "'Cuda" on the hood and tail panel and their eyes light up.
