71 Demon 318 Auto or 72 Demon 340 4 speed

Depends on what you want to do with the car.

I like driver's, so the '71 sounds like the better deal to me. Drive it now and put another engine/transmission together for it, its only a 318/auto car so the matching #'s thing isn't that important.

But if you're looking for a project and the numbers matching game means something to you the '72 340 will probably be worth more restored. But before I shelled out the money for the '72 340 I'd make sure it actually had a 340 in it, and the documentation to prove its really a 340 4 speed car. Otherwise, the '71 is a way better deal.
