Interesting
I don't agree with the 300H being considered the most desirable Fusie.
I would rather think the Sport Fury GT is the top of the line.

Scary. Hope the investors don't price us out of the market.

Just think about aftermarket parts. New washer jugs for all!

OK then!!! I do not believe the above post.
I have certainly noticed noticed that my sales of C Body parts has picked up in the last 2 years.

That could be due to so many different factors. These cars are getting really old and requiring repairs to be road worthy, you could have done something to increase your presence, being in the biz for awhile sometimes catches up to you in a good way. I'm not trying to be a negative Nelly, I just don't see a large following. I also sense a writer who has very little actual knowledge regarding the subject.

there is no large following. Take it from a guy who owns a 72 Newport & 2 Shelby dakotas. I know much about life on mopar’s outer rim.

cross examine a summers worth of comments about you c body as youre out & about & you might get 3 out of every 10 people acutaly start a seasoned mopar discussion. And the rest are just reminded of a parents car or first car or just like it because it’s a huge cool old car. We really are on an island like amc guys.

Mopar guys fall in love with c body’s for financial reasons or memory reasons usually but once the bug bites ,you realize the B&E body’s all start to look the same and aren’t much of a big deal due to the tremendous advantage of available parts. IMHO it’s much more noble to maintain one of these rolling great white sharks on wheels as opposed to our mopar siblings.

If youve followed C bodies for any length of time then you know how their popularity has increased. You know how expensive they have become and you've also seen the separation of which models are putting price distance between themselves and others.

I have to agree with polara71 - the prices being asked for - and gotten - for C Bodies now is significantly higher than when I first came on this forum. When I first came on here, it was an accepted fact that anything we did to our cars would put us underwater and no way could we ever come out ahead. Now I think I could almost break even and who knows, one of these days prices could be where we actually come out ahead. Not that I care, I don't plan to sell mine. But one of these days I'll be gone and someone will have to deal with the car for me.

Fuseys have come out ahead on the most desirable ( general rule ) with peak models being GTs , and Hursts.
I remember a time when they were all considered by most to be donors or used cars.

When I purchased mine, some of my friends "couldn't believe anyone would want to own such a car". I also heard some comments such as "I'm speechless" and "nice Jew canoe", and "those cars weren't even popular when they were new".
Now they've mostly all come around and love it.
As to @Moparwilks comment above regarding 3 out of 10 conversations, I'd say that's about right. Most folks still think it's a Lincoln or Cadillac, or that their grandparents "had a similar car but it was an 98 Olds".... not much even mid-level Mopar discussions take place on the street.
So, when will those washer jugs be ready for the market?

The funniest comment I ever got was a guy on a Harley pulls up next to me at a red lite on my wife’s side looked like lemmy from Motörhead looked at me, gave me a knowing nod & said ( I did my first hit of mescullin in a car just like that and nothing more after that. I didn’t know what to say so I just said, cool. Light turned green then we went our separate ways.

Yes 5k is the new 1k for decent cruise night shape C’s but I doubt we will ever have the q-tip crowd with deep pockets rotisserie restoring these cars any time soon. Graveyard cars has a couple c’s out back and yet there they sit after how many seasons so far?Same boat with my Shelby Dakota. Rare only 1500 built but you could spend 30k on it & never be worth a nickel over 10k. There will be a couple exceptions of corse. Sport fury hurst 300s ect.
