The original MSRP of the 1970-1971 Challenger R/Ts and 'Cudas were about $4,300. The Charger R/Ts were slightly more. Don't we all wish that we could buy a 2008 Challenger SRT for $4,300?
These MOPAR pony cars have really appreciated. Of course the rarer the combination the more value. In watching the Barrett-Jackson auction last week, I was shocked to see a cherry 1971 426 HEMI 'Cuda convertible with shaker hood (not many made in this configuration) sell for $2,000,000 (the 1971 MSRP was less than $6,000). If you had a crystal ball and bought a few of these and warehoused them, you would be a multimillionaire!!
Also, I saw a 1971 340 'Cuda (sublime color) with 77,000 miles (not showroom condition) go for $102,500!
