    I would pic option #2. Not because I'm biased on color/billboard or anything.  :bigsmile:

    But seriously, I think you would enjoy a cruiser with family (or not), a nice drive to work (or not) or just a lazy day of going around town in a "looks function" more so than a "performance function".
    But as mentioned, that 340 can be a serious rubber burner. (slap a 6 pack on that puppy and you won't have to worry about it anyway)

    Just my  :2cents:

    So stop reading all this and go buy it!!!

    If most of your driving is at the track it's #1. If most of your driving is on the street it's #2. And #2 has so much more sex appeal :bigshades:

    Ahhhh...I have to wait until next Friday to get it  :pullinghair: :pullinghair: :pullinghair: :pullinghair:

    Everything's approved for the loan but they can't sign the papers until Monday.  Then our lovely government who thinks we can't think for ourselves has a mandatory 3 day waiting period where I'm not allowed to have my money in case I want to "change my mind"!!!  Then they'll cut me the check on Friday!!  I love how the gov't thinks we're all idiots and thinks for us.  This is going to be the looooongest week of my life!!

    I like the clean "look" of #1 more so than #2, but I agree with all the drivability comments in regards to #2.

    For my own personal taste.....On #2...The track bars woulds be tossed ASAP...the rear spoiler would be replaced with a 1971 Gull-wing style, and loose the wheels/tires for something more stock looking or more modern looking...way too big in the back for my liking. Not sure I like the black/orange hood scoops either....

    But just enjoy it as is annd make it "your own" as you go.....

     :iagree:
    Although I think the price is a little on the high side, but at least it sounds like the car is local to you and a convenient purchase. That is worth something. Some of us have paid thousands to locate, inspect, and then transport our newfound cars from thousands of miles away.
    Lose the track bars and start making it your own.
    You wont be sorry.

    I'm with you guys on the track bars....those things stick out like a sore thumb and will be dealt with promptly.  As for the rear wing, what's different in the sig pic than the one that's on it?  I'm new to Mopar so I may be missing something but it looks almost identical.  I'm sure I'll be tweaking things here and there for sure to make it "mine" but for right now I'll be happy to utter two words..."my cuda"...lol

    The wing on the #2 car is a 70 style....A lot thicker and the ends are bent down 45*. The 71 style is thinner and the ends taper back nicer.....I just mentioned that because the #2 car has 1971 only stripes and 1971 only gilled fenders...I think it would look better with a 1971 only wing :2cents:
