I'm going to repeat myself here. If you really want a cuda or a challenger, please don't wait. I know they're expensive, but if you can find a way...buy one now. As the number of young people become old enough to get interested in musclecars, naturally the stock is going to dry up. They're not making any more of them.
I never realized that back when I was selling my numbers matching convertibles and big block cars, that I might not get a chance to replace them inexpensively. Because of that, I now buy cars and hold on to them. My intention is not to hoard them as some think, but to protect them from being abused, neglected and ultimately destroyed. A friend of mine bought a 73 cuda about three years ago for $4500 and gave it to his 16 year old son to drive every day to school and work. The inevitable happened, He was rear ended and the car was destroyed. I personally think that if you buy a musclecar and try to use it on a daily basis then you shouldn't own that car. Go buy a 5.0 mustang for everyday driving. You are almost certainly going to contribute to the attrition of these cars. Why do you think that you don't see many old cars driving around on the streets today when 100's of thousands of them were built? It's called attrition. Accidents, fires, rust , poor maintenance, they all are reasons for the slow and certain elimination of old cars. I love these mopars enough to want to take care of them. I get one out and drive it once in a while when traffic is light or on the weekends to attend car shows and cruise nights. By showing them, I share them with everyone. Some day, others will own my cars and maybe they will take care of them the way that I do. Kept inside, maintained, cleaned and shown regularly so that others can enjoy seeing them. Just remember, we don't really own them we're just temporary caretakers. So, what I'm saying is go buy one and take care of it.
