Keep them both...I'm partial to the 71's.  If there is a will.....there is a way....Is that '71 "butterscotch" ?  If so, that paint's gotta go.  :drunk:

they both look like awesome cars. i am in a similar boat ,my 71 is just about finished but i am going to sell it after all of the time,work and money to do my 74 to 70 conversion. i am a 70 guy but the nose on a 71 is hard to beat. if you decide to keep the 71 you have to put gilled fenders on it or stamp the ones on the car if the are clean.  :2cents: i dont think you could go wrong either way.

You said that the 71 was a cuda. What happened to the original gilled fenders?  Looks more like a BH23 71 Barracuda which is worth about half of what a BS23 70 Cuda would be worth. You might take that into consideration.
I've sold all of my 70 Cudas and Barracudas and kept my 71 Barracuda and my 71 Cuda. They're my favorites. When in doubt always stick with the real deal Cuda. They will always be worth much more.

Both cars are Bh-barracudas. So not worth as muchI know, but still worth something.
