Rarity of 100% OEM Restored A Bodies - Rant/Whine

Has anyone noticed how rare it is to see an A-Body for sale (on any internet site) that is 100% OEM factory correct? I'm not talking about bolt head markings and paint daubs but significant, visible features and options.

I see lots of nice cars but hardly any are correct for the year and model. I occasionally scan ads for 340 Dusters/Demons just because I like them. Most have major deviations from stock: '71 side stripes on other years. Dual scoops on Dusters. Rallye wheels on cars that never offered them. Engine compartments and trunks painted black.

The correctly restored B and E bodies seem to appear much more often. I'm not sure what this means and I don't object to modifications. I simply wish it was easier to find correct A-Bodies.


is this a serious question???

goto Carlisle and you'll see plenty of "correctly" restored 340 and big block abodies. for sale? who knows. you would have to look/offer cash to find out.

the reason why.. abodies aren't worth the money. cost you more to restore then they are worth finished in most cases.. they were also never as popular as B and E bodies as muscle cars...

i don't know why someone would want a boring, see one ya saw them all "correctly" restored car anyway..
