Tough decision Did I make the "right" choice?

[RON REAGLE]

Back in late 2014 I was on the hunt for a new ride. A good friend of mine told me about a guy with 3 E-body convertibles for sale. I went to look at them one morning even after he told me about the 71 Cuda 383 he had for sale at the same time.
There was a 70 Challenger L code 383 Blue with a white top dressed as an N code
a 70 G code Barracuda dressed as an H code 340 'Cuda Orange with a black top
and a 71 G code Challenger dressed as an H code Challenger RT Plum Crazy with a white top and interior
All 3 convertibles were in the $35,000 price range and no test rides were given. They were all in "driver" condition.

After looking at these I went to my friends to look at the 383 hardtop and ended up buying it for $28,000 which I drove home.
Do you think I made a good call???

Do you think I made a good call???

NOOO! you should have bought them all!
No really the one you have looks excellent. I would be second guessing it.

 

[rklein71]

absolutely made the right call

 

[Katfish]

Right call, I had a convertible and being in FL it was awful.
For a car I wanted to drive, it would have to be a hardtop.

 

[HooToTheCore]

Nothing beats a drop top. Sorry.

 

[Chryco Psycho]

I agree , that is the one I would choose .
Droptops "look" cool especially when parked , but living with one nope !

For sure - Hands Down the right choice!!!
She is So-oooo pretty all day long!

That 71 car - color combo you have is the Reason I got Bitten in the late 1990's
on Cuda cars!

At those prices I don’t think you could have made a bad choice!

 

[Ronbo73]

All of the cars are beautiful and what you chose is what you liked the most, plus you saved $7000..

I would have gone with the 70 Barracuda Vert but I am partial. But you couldn't go wrong with any of the 4. They are all cool.

 

[Xcudame]

You made the right call. Convertibles look nice, but here in the desert, you're just going to get baked with the top down. Your 71 383 Cuda hardtop is a very sweet looking car!

 

[6PKRTSE]

You couldn't have gone wrong with buying any of the 4. However, I agree with your final choice. Nice car.

NOOO! you should have bought them all!

Are you shitting me. You made a phenomenal choice and got it for a good price.

 

[heminut]

You definitely made the right choice, I don't even like convertibles!

 

[Xcudame]

Heminut and I live in the hot desert states and convertibles just don't sound good to us!

 

[my70cuda]

hardtop for sure
