Interesting to read this post. As a younger person I had more than my share of 70 Cuda's - 7 to be exact. but always liked the 71 better - never owned one. I am Dog Dish, Big Motor type of Muscle car fan but yet the 71's were more about the flash - Shark Tooth type grill, Billboards. but I still think if I get and E body Id get a 71... That would be true for a RR as well... with Dog Dishes.
