One-year models that are underpriced....

For some reason, some models just don't bring the money that another model year of the same car does. Sometimes it's bodystyle, other times it's option availability, sometimes it's just public perception which certainly can't be explained. However, for the sharp-eyed collector you can often save thousands of dollars by buying one of these "off years."  #1. 1967 Pontiac GTO. I personally love these cars. The front and rear styling is much cleaner than the '66, automatic buyers finally got a 3 speed TH400 instead of the horrible ST300 two-speed-( read Powerglide ) that was in the '64-66 models. Front disc brakes were an option for the first time, and the engine size was increased from 389 to 400 cubes. Some enthusiasts were pissed that the tri-power ( 3-2bbl carbs ) option was dropped, but the hp rating was the same- 360-and according to the buff magazines of the day performance didn't suffer. Over 81,000 were built, and their cheaper than both the 64-66 and 68-70 models. Dynamite.  # 2. 1969 Shelby Mustang GT350. You don't usually see a Shelby on anyone's "Bargain" list and bringing prices of 40-60K, their not cheap, but try to touch any other Shelby for under 100 grand. They had cool styling and were powered by a 290 hp 351W-the Mach 1's base engine. This may be the reason-all the Ford and Shelby "Purists" wanted the monster 428 of the GT500, or the solid-lifter, screaming 306 hp 289 of the previous generation GT350. Some leftover '69s were re-badged and sold as 1970 models. This may be the only chance for a man without an NBA player's income to own a "Real" Shelby.  # 3. 1971 Dodge Charger Super Bee. This was the only year that the Super Bee package was offered on the Charger instead of the Coronet. The 440 Six-Pack and the Hemi were still available, but those are priced in the stratosphere. However, you can still find a deal on a 383 model. Nearly 7000 were built, so there not so rare as to be pricey just on principle. # 4. 1970 Olds Rallye 350 Cutlass. These had a super loud Sebring Yellow paint job, a "Judge" type rear spoiler, body-colored bumpers and Rally wheels. They were powered by the standard 310 hp 350 4bbl. Some people claim that 10 or 12 "W31" versions were built-but I have never seen one, nor have I ever seen a window sticker or build sheet for one, and no Olds engineer has ever verified one for a magazine. 3,527 were made, so their unique, but not a moon rock, and they don't bring the high prices that a 442, W30 or Hurst / Olds does.    # 5.  1973 Pontiac GTO. People hated the colonnade hardtops when they came out and I can see why-this car really doesn't compare to a '69 or '70 Model in interior or exterior style. Still-they had  400 or 455 cubes under the hood and Radial Tuned Suspension. 4,806 were built, and they were the last "A" body based Goat-they downsized to the "X" body platform for 1974. Which brings up....# 6. 1974 Pontiac GTO. Often called the best Nova ever built. These had front and rear sway bars, a Trans-Am style "Shaker" hood and a 350 V8 backed by a 4-speed or a TH350. On the upside a 400 or 455 is a bolt-in swap. 7,058 were built.  One of these may be a screamin' deal for you. Mastermind
