No the 71's are Ma Mopars final hurrah and they made less of these than the 70. Fish gills, 4 headlights and the grill made it a home run. Argue all you want.

Not sure why they didn't continue with that grille style for later years  :scratchchin: :icon_smile_question:

Something about convertibles makes people nuts.  I can think of a dozen convertibles I'd buy before I spent 100k on an E body.  I do like the e body converts, just not crazy about them like some seem to be.  Had a 66 mustang vert, and now have a miata when the urge hits.  Would have gotten a 70 GTO convertible before i bought an ebody vert.  But those also went over 100k a while back.  Made me wish I'd bought the ones I was tempted by in the 80s.

I'd rather walk than cram into a "Miata".  Sorry, I'm 6'4 and they look like a death trap to me.

Lord Warlock

I'm 6' 1" and i fit easily into a miata, no cramming necessary, it is a little hard getting out of though.  Its a fun little car to drive around although sitting at stoplights and having SUV exhausts sitting at eye  level is daunting.

I like the Chargers far far far better than any Cuda.  Hmm, I guess thats why Im here.

I would not pay that kind of money even if I was a millionaire :rotz:  I can still remember when I could have picked a N node 71 convert for 6000usd.. back in 1990 or so...that car is now restored and probably worth 100-150 now but even if it its the most beautiful mopar to me I cant justify paying that kind of money for any car, especially 45 years old one..

Yup, for the ragtop experiance I have many cars in mind I would choose before an e body.

I like Chargers because they are cheaper and far more were produced.

A Cuda Nut, if the 70 was so great, why did they make less of them than the 70? :scratchchin: Now I like the 71, but never did care for the fish gills. I did like the bill boards better than my hockey sticks. (for none E Body folks, it is there stripes)

Far as Charger VS Cuda, I enjoy driving the Charger more. Dam slap stick shifter hits me on the knee.

70 Cuda Ken

Ken I really just love them all. When people ask me which one is my favorite, I tell them I love all my kids (cars) the same.  I like 70 'Cuda's very much too..So if you have one, send it my way.
