At a classic car dealer that is a very fair price, which leads me to wonder what are we possibly not seeing? I think the market is softening a bit, although I believe Hagerty #2 for this car is $65K and #1 (Concours) is $80K (-5% for auto). This car is probably somewhere between #2 and #3, a very nice driver quality. A '71 with a factory 429 and a nice overall appearance, and I'm expecting to see $49K at a classic car dealer. Yes over the years everyone had to have the Mach 1 calling cards- hood blackout, Magnum 500's, front and rear spoilers, side stripes, etc. Stock C6 auto has what, a 50 hp penalty, but with all that 429 torque it wouldn't be noticed very much. I know when I drive my '71 429CJ-R 4 speed I can't wipe the grin off of my face (thanks Mike B!). As long as there are no major hidden rust issues, which is where the big repair bucks come in, I don't see a whole lot that needs to be taken care of. Interesting that it has the little extra vacuum door on the side of the C-code air cleaner that lets in more air. You don't see those on the non-ram air air cleaner assembly very often. It's also a wonder someone didn't covert the car to ram air. Ice cold AC in the description is a welcome change from the usual "AC just needs recharge" (ahem). These don't come up for sale very often in good driver quality. They are normally a basket case project car or a high dollar Concours show car. Take a test drive, and if it is running well it is one drive you won't likely forget. heh
