Never, ever argue with an IDIOT. They will drag you to their level and then beat you with their years of experience

Nice.

I wonder if it can / will pull the asking ?

Just my opinion: %100 worth it. Only the curators of these vehicles get the privilege to ask this kind of money. Everyone can say what they want, but if the ad is true, and someone bought this and just preserved it, the ask if more than fair for the history...

Seems like a pretty fair price to me, for what is essentially a new E-body Cuda 4-speed.
Granted, not everyone's favorite year, but that car is something special.
I'd have expected a fan shroud by 1973, but no matter.

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.

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.

I would expect the original orange plug wires with orange boots to be present. As mentioned, the Tquad and fan shroud.

Hmm, never noticed/knew that and I would think I would have somewhere along the line shruggy 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 beer

If the car was optioned out a bit more I might see the price but it's just too BLAH for me shruggy twocents

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

Well for a 1973 E-body that was about as optioned as it got. 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.

Last year 340 (cast crank even with 4 speed)
Cuda was appearance package so car was optioned as 340 (top dog) from the Cuda 318 base

Plus is things wrong easy to fix. You would think for 75K they would have.

You are correct. 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?

No, rallye gauges were still used.

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.
