Can't say for certain that it's still available, but the ad is up and running. :dunno:
I would consider it too, but it's not an highly optioned car and not a "big seller" when finished. :'(

I wish I could have a shot at the restoration with somebody else paying for it.. :smilielol:

If I won the $600,000,000 PowerBall Jackpot the other day I'd be having you do that one along with my convertible that will take me 10 years to do at this rate.

Sorry Aris, Not baggin on the 72-74 cudas . I like em! But the 70 -71 pull more money cuz they had way better engine options. Plus you got to love the tail lights better. :cheers:

Strangely enough the 72-74 tail lights are my favorite lol. Although I do prefer the front end and the gills of the 71.
Cuda is gone :(

that's funny cuz I prefer the 70 not the 71. Don't like the gills or the cluttered up grill. a 70 looks clean and smooth but a 71 does look tough.

Thanks, but a 72 isn't even in the same category as a 71 cuda.

I was just going to say the same thing.  No disrespect to a 72, but there is no comparison when it comes to market price.

Just goes to show, we can agree to disagree.  70 or 73, mod or no mod, restomod or stock.........C'mon folks, just appreciate what you or others have.

I used to hate the 71, then I liked 70 Challengers for a bit, then I moved on to and bought a 71 Barracuda.

Now I like them all, but for different reasons.
