Wife bought me an E body, do I have to quit?

WHAT!
Seriously, you must be joking.
1, Your talking about a mint '70 Cuda, which is a retardedly far cry from a normally found small block car.
And you use it as an example.
Dude, pass the joint!

2: You point to a short run grill. As the A body has been short change via what now?

3: Project E bodies cost more than restored A bodies?!?!
OMG you are blind and stupid and I don't care if you offended because you are blind and stupid. You MUST be looking at all the wrong sites for E bodies!
OMG LMFAO

PLEASE!

Have you seen what E bodies are going for project cost wise now a days?! You're lucky to find a rolling shell for under 7 grand, if its a complete, running E body, especially an early one, say 70/71, you'll be lucky to find one under 15 grand.

And no, im not offended at all, I'm talking reality of the situation, is the situation dumb as hell, yes, but that doesn't change the fact that people are asking, and getting that kind of money, even for lowly 318 equipped E bodies, find a 340 70 e body and watch the cash pile up, even more so with a big block.
