Ultra low mile 'Cuda

Nice.

I wonder if it can / will pull the asking ?

From the ad:

"depickled"

Love it!

Looks awesome.

Mike.

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.

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

No under car pictures?

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.

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 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.

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.

I can not upload pics right now to this site fir some reason.
I have pics of the 1972-74 seven grand tach and the diff reset on speedo. Still a good looking dash. The Cuda and Ralley Challenger packages were still cool.
Sport hoods, 150 speedo, tach but 7K, gauges, decal package ( Challenger got fender bezal thingy's and strobe stripes down fenders and doors that fades) sway bars front and back
I had a,1972 Challenger Rally 340, 727, 8 3/4 (355) B5, full TX9 vinyl top, TX9 interior, Black Stobe Stripes, Road Wheels, Dealer installed A/C, AM/FM. Car drove nice with tg2e sway bars and new radials in the stock wheels and git looks. It had R/T looks of the earlier cars. My older brothers friend got it as just an old car price. He drove it for years and gave it to me for free when the 727 went and joined the Navy. Trans blown up and beat to death.
The 72 Up Cuda and Challener Ralley packages gave some good things in a package over the flat hood cars.

I wonder why no R11 on the FT, but it has a radio. I don't recall seeing that before.

I'm not seeing an "R" group for any radio at all.?? But I do see an antenna on the front fender, maybe not a factory setup, can't tell by the photos. Good catch.
