72-74 Challenger / Cuda Value $$$

[nivvy]

I've been noticing lately on ebay the 72-74 Cuda and Challengers have been going up lately !!! even with non matching motors they have been bringing in 15-25 grand....

Maybe it's because the regular joe cant afford a 70/71 - 6pack/hemi or just the years alone are worth a lot more!

Resto-Mods are extremely hot right now...especially on BJ...nobody want to ruin a 70/71 so why not do it with a 72-74 custom..
I saw a 72 Challenger REST MOD go on BJ last night for $52,000...

Maybe it's also the 08 Challenger coming out as well...whatever it is..keep it going$$$

I have noticed that also. That is good news to me I have had my 72 Challenger for 9 and a half years now and will probably dumping a crapload of money into it next year when I restore it again. But I don't see myself selling it ever lots of good memories and drove it all through high school. There have been a few numbers matching cars into the mid 40k range as well in the past few months.

Tonight on Classic Car auction! Original 72 Challenger EV2 orange went for $55,000....

I agree. I've definitely noticed an increase in Ebay prices on 72-74 Barracudas over the last year.  I sure don't consider Ebay a tool for market evaluations though - just an indicator.  I thought that alot of the low and mid-priced Ebodies (not projects) were generally under priced last year.  The guy who appraised my '73 Cuda last fall doesn't use Ebay pricing either.  $55K for a '72 Challenger is a bit of a stretch though!  I've been watching the prices as I was thinking about selling mine in May/June.  I get bored with a car after a couple of years (Over the last 6 years I've restored a '64 Polara and a '71 Demon).  My wife is hoping I'm not the same way with women 

There were a couple of '68/9 Valiant post cars on Ebay that got me going!  It's almost time to move on.

It's been coming....... It won't happen overnight, but it will happen. I love my 73 'Cuda to death and once I'm done with it I'm sure she grab just as much attention as any 70 or 71 Cuda. If not, who cares! lol I like it.

Yeah, I've noticed the price rose rather quickly for any '72-'74 E-body, whether it was a basket case, rust bucket, or fully restored.  It's good to know I'll always have less money than what the market seems to be pushing these "less desirable" years.
