Re: My favorite type of muscle car:
My FIRST car when I was 16 was a REALLY GOOD CLONE of a 1968 440 GTX convertible. 440 4 sp Dana 4.10's, black with black top, red interior. Car was nice and was "good" money in this part of Canada. I paid $4,800.00 for it. It was my second choice. I actually BOUGHT a 1970 Barracuda 440+6 4 sp Dana 4.10's. B5 blue with blue interior. Guy went away on business during winter and was longer coming home, so I was able to buy the GTX.
Now back in 83/84 is when this happen. The GTX was $4,800.00, the Cuda was $3,700.00. Both had really good paint and interiors were nice. To put it into perspective, Rene Destille (sp) was from Quebec. He was at a local show with his 70/71 Plum Crazy Hemi Challenger R/T convertible. At the time, this was a magazine car and he was ASKING $30,000.00 US at the time. We thought he was WAY outta line and would never get that. Man I should have bought that car and mortgaged a house LOL
