SD are unique, but for roughly half the price and just as fast I rather buy a couple of 71-72 TA, 455HO's.

[/ QUOTE ]Steve I hear ya but you and everyone else here is forgetting the fact this is a true survivor car with 16 thousand miles! Any 71-72 T/A with 16k on it would be in the 80-90 range also and this car id well optioned with the very rare cloth inserts on the seats which I believe only a handful were built. I think if it was a 73 T/A with these miles the owner would be asking 130-140 for it. Personally I think its a great car and I like the 74's as much as the 73's.My whole issue with the car is the fact it has to stay in a garage and you cant drive the [censored] out of it like it was built to do. Great car with nice pedigree and colors is JMHO BTW My old 77 Bandit car which is a nothing car but way cool with 10,000 miles on it just sold at auction for over 62,000 so maybe this T/a isnt that high.

Hey Don, my comment was meant in a general sense. I was not referring to this car. I wasn't questioning the price of this car specifically (I did not even review the ad, and you know I love survivors). My point was that SD's are close to twice the price of a comparable HO. I am going to look at the car ad now. I do have some room ....
