My $.02.......as the owner of a 73 'cuda, I would hope that because so few of these were made that they will increase in value soon. Not everyone of us can find a 71 to restore and if we did, would it be in our price range and would the cost of a resto not be a reason for a refinance of our home?
?
We(me in particular) have to start somewhere. From the side they are virtually identical, from the rear(other than the round lights)they look virtually identical, from the front(other than a few minor bumper/grill changes and the fact that the 71 has 4 headlights) they look virtually identical.
Personally I like the 71, I like the gilled fenders, the grille and the 4 headlights. But I like my 73 too, I like the round taillights, I like the twin scooped hood, I even like the frt end and grille. Ive seen 73s with bill boards and AAR stripes and sure the purists walked by and said "it aint a 70 AAR", or "73s didnt come with billboards", but not one could say it wasnt a nice car.
The pics of the car in question at the top of the post show a very very nice car! Id be proud to own it, and Im sure most of you would too. Im not saying that his price is just right or too high, its outta my reach, but then it would be at 1/2 that price. I have many irons in the fire, and by the time Im done restoring my 'cuda I will probably be in the same range! I posted on here when I first got my cuda about the #s matching 318, as opposed to the 440 clone, and got mixed opinions, but the one that sticks in my head was this "ITS YOUR CAR DO IT YOUR WAY".
When the 70-71s are all gone what will be left, thats right round taillight cars, coming from a PONTIAC background it happens with every make.....in GTOs it was 64-65s when they were al gathered up then 66-67, and now 68-72s are the hot movers, why?
because the only 64-67s left are junkers requiring so much $$ in resto work the cost of repair out weighs the cost of resale. I know thats what youre saying about this round taillight cuda, but you gotta admit its a nice car!!
selectmotors, good luck with your sale, looks good enough for a Barrett-Jackson auction, maybe you should check them out!
In My Humble Opinion
