trade my mopar for a pontiac??!!!
WELL Macho's are rare....and they are nice, but they never reached nearly the same notoriety or performance level as the Royal Bobcat GTO, which is one of the reasons they are so rare. Macho cars were more or less an attempt to get past the emissions and horsepower limitations of the mid to late 70's. Because of the emissions & mileage standards, new cars could not be sold if they were modified...so the brothers Mechem? created Mechem performance and the cars were sold to the performance company and modified, THEN sold to the public. Because the cars had already been sold they were not considered as "new" even tho they had pretty much zero miles on them..... it was pretty much little better than a workaround to the government imposed limitations...... MID to LATE 70's cars ( meaning 74 - 79) ( yes even the mopars) are typically not worth all that much in pristine condition. There a few "Smokey & the Bandit" trans am's runnin around Detroit area and they draw MAYBE 5 - 8 k and that is only if they are drop dead spotless and pretty much perfect. 75 - 79 actual "muscle cars" were all but flat lined.....
You do what makes you happy that's what the hobby is all about...... but if you are doing it because you believe it is worth more than your fish.....think again!!! do a weee bit more homework..... you might be surprised!!! or maybe I should say disappointed?...either way do a lil more homework before you cross off the fish
