72-74s have really gone up.

Now's the time to pick up a clean 4-speed Cuda or Challenger Rallye.

I prefer 72s, then 74s, then 73s.

The $50-90k cars are a bit tough to sell unless they're convertibles or shaker cars.  That's a lot of money for the average dood.

Curious, what's the reasoning behind the preference on the 72-74 years? I'm guessing options if restoring to original?


Prices of 70/71s have been silly for long enough that the lowly 72+ cars have become "not so bad" anymore.

Other than the factory engine options, there's not much to hold against a 72+ Cuda. Aesthetics on the 72+ Challengers changed a bit, but they're coming around.

I agree that '72-74 are coming around and demand is increasing. Interesting enough that '71 Chargers are starting to climb in value as well.

I agree with you. It seems like now is a good time to pick up an early 70's Charger.  Still has the good looks of the 71 RT, but the 72-74 Chargers with a big block should start to go up in price.  I see decent cars in the 22-25K range now.    JMO
