what is the most Desirable A body line

[slant six]

Oh, where’s my buddy Dave. He has 9 of these, they’re his favorite. He’s a member here, but I haven’t seen him posting lately.

Oh Dave, Where are you??

I would say the 1969 GTS.

But then again…I may be biased!

1 68 gts
2 69 cuda
3 68 cuda
4 71 demon
5 71 duster
6 67 gts
7 67 cuda
8 70 duster
9 69 dart ugly grill and tail lights

Tough to compare cars with options not available in other years. Like a 68 383 GTS convertible to a 70 318 Duster.

The original question said body line so I would take that as a /6 2dr body style that was available in every body line. Duster/Demons are fastback (VL29 & LL29) versions of Valiant/Dart . So comparable to 67-69 Barracuda fastback.

Right now, Demons seem to be the hot a-body builder. Here’s my opinion on current desirability $$$ if all were /6 auto cars in same condition.

Highest selling $$ on top.

71 Demon (fastback A-body)
68 Barracuda Fastback
68 Dart
69 Dart
71 Duster (fastback)
70 Duster (fastback)

69 Barracuda fastback
67 Barracuda fastback
72 Demon (fastback)
72 Duster (fastback)

70 Dart
67 Dart
68 Barracuda coupe
69 Barracuda coupe

67 Barracuda coupe
71 Dart
68 Valiant
69 Valiant
67 Valiant

Within the groupings things get close.

I'm real partial to the 67-69 Valiants and Darts, But I also like most any other A-body you'd care to mention. However, first place goes to a 69 Dart, even if it's this half-baked orphan sitting in my yard waiting to get its turn in the shop.

When I get done with it I'd like it to look like this one, with the jury out on hood scoop or not.

The red one looks good except it's a low rider. Too much tire is in the wheel well on the rear.

well i have a '69 dart gt, a '70 duster and a '72 swinger. i still NEED a '67 notch and a '69 fastback. a demon would be welcome as well but no valiants or scamps need apply.
