    Keep the ORIGINAL Cuda. Bubble has to burst on something in this hobby and I'd think it would be the clones. There are so many of them out there now.

    I'm definately not a purist, so I'd have to take the 4speed.  Both are beautiful cars...can you have them both?? :grinyes: :tongue:

    I voted for the original '72, but they are definitely too hard to say which one would be the better one to own.  I think the 4 spd. would be a blast, but it all depends on what you want the car for.  Original will pull more money than a clone.

    Well I meant in the long run an original Cuda should pan out more money than a clone.  Even if the clone is a '70-71, those guys out for originality will pay a premium price, if selling it would ever need to be an option.

    Tough choice,I`m not a purist but not a big fan of clones either.I prefer the `70 model over the `72 and the 4 spd is more fun but I think I would keep the `72 `cuda as there are only so many real ones and anyone can biuld a clone.

    Just remember: "It's only orginal once" and as Rod Stewert said ,"Nothing like the first time", go with the 72, there will always be a clone somewhere down the road!   :thumbs:

    Tough, if it was a clone Auto a drag car would be awesome, could always make a clone drag 4-speed car, won't do as well but it will be fun to drive. I voted for 72 as these cars are getting hard to find. The last thing you want is to kick yourself over this deal in years to come..... ;)


    Oh, Round taillights are pretty nice.  ;D BOTH would be my answer but thats obviously not an answer.  8)
