In 1971 the 340 R/T was $44.35 more than the 383 R/T. In todays market which vehicle is more valuable, also which one would be more desirable as a driver. Only 1078 of the 340 R/Ts were built compared to 2540 383 R/Ts. Does that make the 340s more valuable?

I just looked, it has the Carter Thermo-quad with the numbers 6-2080 on the top of the carb. It looks brand new or it was recently restored. No tag anywhere though.
My observation.... the 340 R/T (JS) was a one-year, low production car with 1078 produced. That should boost the value a bit when you look at the number of 383 JS cars made between 70 and 71, 16177.
