I'd buy the same car all over again (74 TA) but even with the bias it's a fair investment.

I also agree the third gens will go thru the roof as the kids that wanted them in high school will be coming for them...

All dealer cars are always 10-20% over priced. its normal
You have to bang out a deal , or lettem keep it.

There is no other 74-78 combo that looks as good as that Blue 74 the way its dressed.
It makes a Bandit car look boring.
The only thing missing is a 455 , but its a 12,000 mile time capsule 4spd AC Deluxe Honeycombs.
I'd go look at it if you think you like it.

I agree. If you like that car I'd explore it. Likely can be had for less than asking.

But 71GP76TA's car looks really nice too...

You're not kidding 71GP76TA's red 75 is a beautiful car. He sent me some hi def pics. If that car was on the east cost, id already made a deal at full asking price. Only thing missing for me is AC, but not a deal breaker. I'm still trying to see if logistically a deal might be made. 4800- 5600 to ship in enclosed trailer. That's using our PY member haulers. Ouch!

If I had 2 weeks to leisurely drive back 2800 miles maybe, but don't have that time off

Just to rent uhaul truck and trailer 4k. One way.


Haven't given up on the car.

It's been 3 years, but I had my TA hauled enclosed from Maryland to Oregon for just a pinch over $2000. When I was shopping for shippers, the prices varied quite a bit.

Thanks for the PM. I got a 1950.00 quote good ratings 1.2k reviews. They did ask about the weight of original parts coming with the car in the trunk. 100lbs free over that a little more.

They are as nice as a 74 with many similarities and more accessible at least for now...a value in comparison but probably not for long.

Have you also considered a fourth Gen...here is one of the last ones:

Not for me but a future investment...
