Like anything the value is all in what someone will pay for it. I bought a 74 Challenger about 10 years ago in a similar condition for 5k - it was a runner that hadnt been run in a few years sort of thing. I purchased it from friends that needed the money and I struggled to get a realistic...

Unfortunately the fender tag is long gone...

I am pretty sure that the Petty Blue was first offered in 1972. My 72 Cuda is Petty Blue, so any 70/71 would not be Petty Blue (unless it was some sort special order...)

Welcome!! Like it was mentioned, glad to se another one being saved. I am a fan of the 72-74 Challengers, they are a little overlooked, especially when compared to the 70-71's, but they are a beautiful car!!

As much as I would like it, I say hoax... 🙁

What do you know about the wire - where was it on the car, trunk, dash, engine compartment? I would expect it to be a power wire with the inline fuse and color, and an accessory since any fused standard component wires would normally go thru the fuses in the fuse block... It looks to be orange...

I am trying to remember what I did when I went to a 4bbl on my original 318, but I believe I had to swap to a 4bbl linkage, but that was also a 3 piece kickdown linkage I had already. I believe there is clearance to move the attach point inboard. Looking at my old pics it appears my Carter carb...

My 1972 cars (3 - Barracuda/Cuda) have had hard plastic back covers and my 74 (Challenger) has fabric (vinyl) back (part of the seat cover).

Welcome!! Nice looking T/A you got there!!

I would agree. I tried repeatedly to use the Holley 750 on my 440 and I continually had issues with keeping it in tune (primarily the floats sticking) eventually I tossed it going to Fuel injection - but that had it's own learning curve... when I built my 360 I went with the Thermoquad and it...

First car - a 72 Cuda (340 powered), then a 318 powered 72 Barracuda (swapped in a 340 from car #3), number 3 was a 71 340 Roadrunner (the 340 was swapped into), four was a 1978 Power Wagon 4x4 (360-4spd), then followed by another 72 340 Barracuda (no motor, but swapped in a 440) followed by...

I like the Mopar valve covers more anyway!! Lol

Not that I know of...

I like the clean (no stripes) look of the car. The Challenger really looks good!!! nice work

Same sort of thing up here in Washington with mail-in voting...
