The price would be somewhere in the $90K range US
Quite nice. Wrong trans for me.
Too bad it's not a bench seat, column shift.... :rofl:
Personally, I think that's an insane price! But then, what do I know of the ways of the T/A cognoscenti and those who have wallets that care not? :looney:
theres a rotis restored fc7 aar for 65k on ebag.
HALF PRICE
Do you have a link ? I can't seem to find the car you're talking about ? :dunno:
Is $65K USD really "HALF" of $90K USD ? Must be this "new math" people keep talking about :thinking: :pullinghair: :rofl:

Me too
You would think for that kind of money they could have at least cleaned the carpet or put some floor mats in it. That drivers side carpet looks very dirty.

You'd think, that for that kind of money, they'd have Sofia Vergara, naked in the front seat, holding a bag with $50,000 in it! Just sayin' ;)

I just found this one for relisted for $69.5K USD ? https://www.ebay.ca/itm/1970-Plymouth-Barracuda-/302935367971?_trksid=p2385738.m4383.l4275.c10 , if so the quality of the restoration is NOWHERE near the one asking $90k USD.
When trying to compare asking prices of two different cars, you have to consider many different aspects. :alan2cents:
alan, every member on this site would be tickled to own that FC7 AAR.
your thinking is too rich for some of us.
I have a 1,000 ft dirt driveway so any car painted on the underside is goin to be a dirty mess.will I crawl under there and polish it.
HELL NO.
so you can buy the 90k over restored T/A .
im happy with the 60k AAR.
and most people at the cruise nights will look at the aar and say hey that's a nice chevelle. lol
Well Kathy, you can complain about the $90K Show poodles all you want, but they do exist...and there's a reason for that, and it has to do with rarity, documentation and quality of restoration. You can't look at one of these $90K cars and say it's not worth it because there's similar ones out there for $60K and they're really not that similar in quality. Just because you say it's too much for you, doesn't mean there isn't a buyer for the car out there.
As for me....There's a lot you don't know.....I can't even afford to own an E Body, it's been years since I've even owned a classic car....I recently borrowed money from the bank to buy a project AAR hoping to flip it and make a few bucks to pay down our debt....My wife and I owe more money now on our house then when we bought it 15 years ago, plus we have two kids going to university in the next five years.....I will likely NEVER be able to EVER afford another classic car in my lifetime. :alan2cents: So enjoy your dirt road and the car you have, cause it's more then some of us will ever have. :drinkingbud:
I like the show poodles but I like to drive them too. I'm not rich either so sweat equity makes it happen. You don't have to buy done stuff to make things happen.
Hard to see the quality of restoration on the T/A, by the quality of the pics. Is there more info on
another site ?
I'm far from a pro....can someone please tell me some examples of where the quality is lacking on the restoration of that AAR?
:help: :notsure:
No PolyGlas tires.... :rofl:
Looking at the under hood pictures of the AAR I see a number of things wrong. Missing exhaust manifold heat shield, parts store master cylinder, wrong booster check valve, aftermarket air filter, wrong pcv valve and should be painted with engine, dipstick handle should be black, access panels on inner fenders that are painted body color rather than black usually on driver quality restorations, appear missing altogether, plated oil cap, and heater hoses strapped together by a metal band.
Most of the items I listed are available as restoration parts so when I see those wrong on a car I know it wasn't done at a top shop or by someone who did their homework.
Don't get me wrong, it appears to be a nice driver/local show quality car which few wouldn't be proud to own. And much of the details I list could be easily fixed or updated. But it's still never going to be a concours car.
From what I see of today's market, there are guys with deep pockets who will pay really big money for the right car, right color, documentation, high quality resto or unrestored, numbers, and preferably 4 gear. Anything less tends to linger on the market because the upper middle class car fan doesn't have the means to buy a nice but not perfect car like they used to in the 2005-7 era.
That's why you see such big differences in price between nice and top quality cars IMO. :alan2cents:

That was exactly my reaction.

It doesn't have Goodyear Polyglas tires.... And it actually looks like someone may have driven it..... WTH were they thinking???? Sorry Alan the AAR is the one I'd buy.... Accept I ain't buying nothing... And if I were it would have to be a 4spd.... What I'd like to know is why is there a 71 grille being painted with whats supposed to be the AAR on the rotisserie???
The battery in the show poodle sure doesn't look original :rubeyes:
That sticks out more than radial tires to me. :alan2cents: but to me unless a T/A or AAR has 3 pedals I'm not interested.
All the talk on price point has really got me thinking about exactly where I stand on what I will buy next. It's a gorgeous car but I wouldn't buy it. For that money I can have one car that is too nice to drive or two very nice cars that I wouldn't be afraid to drive at any time. And as you know, I love to drive them. :burnout:
