Nice to see the 93 Cobra included on a list like this. However .... a value range of $8450 to $12550?!?
You'd think a C&D writer should know better than using NADA values for that article! :bash:

You guys think one article is gonna make the prices soar? I hope your right.

I kinda thought 8.5 - 12.5 was spot on for a driven example.

I just hate that a Maverick & a Dodge Dart are on the same list..& I have no idea how NADA comes up with their valuations but they are way off more than they are accurate.

regardless of price points the publicity alone will push the value up and when you compare the looks and the recognizable name to the rest of the list I would think we would be first choice among those holding under $20M for a driver. I grew up with all of these cars and am also blown away by some, I know from experience, don't compare with a Cobra. I bought a regular Dodge Omni in 78 and proved to myself after only 90 days of ownership(in which I really only had it for 30), that the automotive world has never created a bigger POS. I dare say even Shelby couldn't hold that wreck together. Any article like this should boost our value a pound or two!! Olldernu

Having owned 2 '68 and 1 '69 GTO's back in the day I can't fathom that hideous '73 being on any list other than most NOT wanted. An abomination of the GTO name...
