The "young" one is about to hit 50.
Pic is of me somewhere around 1983 when I purchased it for $1,200.00

Yep, I am there myself. I have my Challenger for playing/racing, but still have my 70' Charger R/T S.E. from the 1980's back in high school. Same condition and still unrestored today.

Do we know what day E-body production ended? I read a 12 year old post on Moparts that the latest known SPD is April 26, 1974. Anyone know if that's correct. My car appears to be one of the last ones built and probably the last one built for Canada with SPD 422

I had read long ago a similar date to what you stated.
At time mine was built the parts depletion and give a sh!t had moved in.
No front Sway bar but one lower control arm had bracket and one did not.
My jack instructions was placed upside down.

I know there are a bunch of old guys on here, myself included, but how many people here are younger than their e-body?

My Cuda and I are both 1970 models, but the Cuda was built in September of 69 so it predates me by a few months.

Unfortunately I have more than a dozen years on Challenger.
