Naa not really, these aren't really big money cars anyway. A pretty nice example like mine can be found in the $40k range, so I don't see a correct restored version fetching more than another $10-15k in my eyes. A 4-speed might add a little more, which mine is not. I just don't view these as worth all that much. If the prices got much higher than $55-$60k for a perfect version of one of these then I'd switch gears and start looking at a different car like a Z or an L78 for not much more, but that's just me.
If it were a couple years older and an LS6 or maybe some other solid lifter version of something I'd look at this much differently of course. But people really aren't attracted to the 71-72's as much as the earlier years.
I'm never selling the car anyway. When I'm gone my son can have it and it'll be up to him.
