Id wager it will bring the asking price. I know of a low mile 360 car that brought over 60... 74 I want to say. But possibly it was a 73.

Sharp car, I think it’s worth the money.
It really doesn't matter whether you win or lose… as long as you look good doing it!

I may be wrong but i don't remember the clutch pedal being so much higher  But it's always been one of my pet peeves so I may be wrong Power brake car pedal sits lower. Manual brake sits even with clutch. That paint needs to be checked all over with a meter before handing over the big bucks.
I want my fair share

Noticed they didn't mention the original Thermoquad being replaced. For such a low mile car the TQ should be on it. Also, looks like they deadheaded all the vapor canister lines.

Hmm, never noticed/knew that and I would think I would have somewhere along the line  Not disagreeing with you in any way but this one seems a bit too high IMO. Wouldn't be the first time I was wrong on something though  If the car was optioned out a bit more I might see the price but it's just too BLAH for me

What's the consensus on the brake booster and master cylinder? I thought both were black from the factory.

It could have had A/C. E-bodies were heavily de-contented starting in 1972. No more big blocks and I don't think I've ever seen a '72 and up with power windows or cruise control.

Power windows and cruise control were gone from the 72 E-Body option list. Ma took a chainsaw to the option list for the 72 on up E-Bodies. Ragtops were gone, sunroofs survived on a few 72 Challengers, then they were gone for 73. A lot of options disappeared for 72. 6-way seat, front and rear spoilers, rear window louvers, flip gas cap on the Challengers, shaker hoods, hood pins and 15" rallyes. Made no sense, as those options were designed, produced, and paid for already. They make a good profit margin on options, so why not offer them?

Wow didn't know that but I haven't followed e-bodies that closely Was the rally gauge cluster gone as well?

Yep, you are very correct, sad indeed what happened. Only 2 engines available in 1973, a 318 or 340(slant 6 wasn't even an option). Rumor has it that the bean counters were REALLY disappointed in the E body sales figures and they wanted to stop making the cars altogether but they settled on a scaled back version instead.
