Moved to general discussion. (because it's not yours)

Are 73's really worth that much?

A complete air car missing only carpet and reverse for $4000. (wonder where reverse disappeared to?) Not a bad place to start.

Doesn't look too bad, but we can't see the common problem quarter panels.

Still has a thermoquad!

Great starter car for someone... Priced well too.

Yeah, Yeah, Yeah, I have heard that for years about 73/74 RR's but then I had a chance to buy a couple. Both are number matching 340's one with 4 speed and the other an auto. Don't get me wrong, I much prefer the 68/69 but you have to admit that the 70 dash is soooooooo much better. My first car was a 69 RR with a 383 air grabber. I have no great attachment to the 73's except to see someone else enjoy them. I will bring them both back to their former glory and hand them off to someone who really likes them. As for value, they are going up, way up as they are hitting around 20K+ now for a restored one. That makes me happy Mecum has sold a few with the following results: Harrisburg 2018 Lot F176 340 auto sold for $29,700 and another in Kissimmee 2016 Lot J42 didn't sell but high bid was $20K I was just at the Chicago 2019 show and one sold (and it was not very well done) for around $19K if I remember right but I can't find it on their web site. There is a butt for every seat!! They my not have the "style" or the "power" of their earlier siblings but they are still pretty cool and they will always be a MOPAR.

I think the new rug is what makes me want it
