As I mentioned above looking at this car. SC car, buildsheets, one repaint, engine, tranny, brakes, front suspension rebuild. Looking for comments on what is not original.
Thanks for the help
More pics

Great looking car, thanks for starting a separate thread....
Some little detail items are wrong as to be expected like the PCV valve, washer jug, hoses etc....however it does have the wrong master cylinder and wrong carburetors which can get expensive to correct.
Not coded for the front rubber bumper either, bit of a disappointment
Yea knew about the carbs
Tell me about the MC. Brake line outputs wrong?
Brake booster correct?
The brake booster looks correct, but the master cylinder is a replacement unit...It functions correctly, but has a different exterior appearance. It stands out once you know what to look for.
This AAR is sporting the correct 171 Master cylinder....again only visual differences on the casting.
looks like an older restoration.
whats the asking price?
I would guess the asking price to be in the $65K-$75K range :alan2cents: just my guess. Do you care to share the asking price ?
Asking $75k
Looks like the console cover is cracked by the shifter plate. It really looks like the woodgrain bezel doesn't fit right. Price seems a little steep for a car that needs some corrections. Maybe I'm out of the loop on the e-body prices anymore.

What conditions is the paint/body work?
Do you have any pictures of the trunk pan? If the trunk pan is original on an e-body that is an indication the car was pretty solid to start. If it has been replaced, closer exploration of the body work would be a good idea.
Pretty good looking car. I noticed in your exhaust thread some bubbling above the exhaust tip, I'm sure you seen it but just in case..

Some things you learn the hard way. :(
Favorite color for an AAR. Restoration looks older and with a few things listed that it needs, I would say its closer to $65k.
Don't think the car was ever "restored" , paint job maybe....I agree, being an automatic, it's closer to $65K in my opinion

what's wrong with the "washer jug? :rubeyes:
Most 70's got the squared off corner, while the 71's got the rounded corner. Was there a running date for this change ?
yes, there was a running change - don't know when it was, but I see lots of T/A & AARs with the rounded corner
Great question
Center trunk pan replaced. Trunk drop offs in good condition with drain plugs still in tact. Bubbling appears to be not to extensive via a magnet test. Left rear Lower quarter behind back tire has been repaired. Right rear no mud. I will expect the car on a lift this Monday. Bubbling on rocker appears to be where the lead was inserted from new?
I am well below asking on this car. Actually prefer a 4 speed
woooh too high for me.

Interesting :thinking: This car is 331 on the tag, 13 days prior....I can't say for sure that it's the original jug though...

You could offer him $18K :dunno: :)
don't laugh,i remember when AAR's were 7500.00 in Carlisle.
and that was too much.
oh well.

If you really want a 4 spd, be patient and wait for one. You will always wish you had one, and it will be worth more in the end. There are a few AARs out there, check FB too.

Yeah buddy.... 12.5K for a 70 Hemi Challenger Convertible..... But Apple stock would have perhaps been an even better idea...
APPL 1982 .17 per share
APPL 2018 $200 per share
$12,500 in 1982 would have bought 73,500+ shares
73,500 shares @ 200 per share today is 14,700 dollars....
But the trick to either scenario is not selling between 1982 & today....

You may want to check your math 73500 X $200 = $14,700,000

Yeah, I had it before I posted, Alan already corrected me & I've already thanked him..... You get no thank you for being late to the party...
Will wait for a 4 speed, after all, and try to avoid any body work.
Keep in mind there is a premium on a four speed car, and that seems especially true for the Trans Am cars....When it comes to the high revving small block in an AAR Cuda or Challenger T/A, it seems everybody wants a four speed.
Take this orange car in question, you can expect the asking price to be likely $10K higher....$85K or so for a comparable four speed in my opinion :alan2cents:
Yes: That price is nicer car, 4 speed territory.

Actually your math might be way more off than that. I don't think 82 price you used accounts for all the splits.
I went to work for Apple in June 1997 when it was at rock bottom and the price was $12, but to get to todays value you need divide by the three splits that were at 2, 2 and 7 - so to compare it today you need $12/2/2/7 = 43 cents
I bought as much as I could and told three people to buy - my mother in law, my father and my adopted grand father (his an older gentleman / car collector. Only the last one bought and he sold when he got to 20X
As for me if I had kept every share I bought and was awarded I'd have ..... well lets not go there :deadhorse:
I have a hard time being patient :crazytalk: Since I decided to wait it out I found a really nice Tor Red car with a red/white interior but it too is an automatic. Car is restored without original tranny or build sheet. Low miles, no rally dash. Will keep the hunt going.
It wouldn't be "Tor-red" ....Tor-red is paint code EV2 which is the same as Hemi orange....I know it's confusing....
The car you're talking about is likely FE5 Rallye Red., it's been for sale for a while.
how about this one :rubeyes: https://www.hemmings.com/classifieds/cars-for-sale/plymouth/aar/2156211.html

Funny I was just thinking about the car too....
there is not many 4 speed for sale and it's not perfekt but i like it
It is nice to see something other than Red or Orange.... I like the Blue one.... I like Yellow too..... Sassy Grass & Lime look good, F8 looks good too.....

Seems like a nice car for a realistic price.
Overall pretty good. At least you could work with it. The wheels look terrible, wrong aircleaner lid etc. but those things are easily corrected as long as the body is trouble free.
I spoke to this guy, and seemed to be evasive. I will call him back and chat about the car. I like Blue/Blue.
