Getting harder to find. I wonder if those gills were welded into the doors?
Still my fav year for Chargers :bigthumb:
Mine too, if it were still here I would sure look at it. Be a nice car to lightly modify.

Yeah, I learned to like the fuselage cars too, but for me, the '68-9 & 70 cars were the ultra ne plus Chargers. Visions of a dark green, black vinyl roofed hemi 4 speed with black guts still rings in my mind after I saw it in Grand Bend in '68-9. OOOH baby!! Still gives me a wee twinge, say no more, say no more. :cheers:
I have a soft spot for them too, but there's just no market for them to resell... :'(
With the 2nd gen becoming unattainable for most due to price and scarcity, 3rd gen Chargers were relatively easy to find and affordable. However, in the recent months even these Chargers and Super Bees have risen in price dramatically.
Wow! that's a sweet 71 if done!
They are finally getting some respect in the world. I've owned several and they seriously are some of the best cars i've had. They handle wonderfully and look great in my opinion. Agree that 71/72's are the best for the 3rd gens. The 72's get a knock for the square marker lights but the rallye package really accented the car well and is more rare than an R/T or a Super Bee. The 71's had ALL of the options though. Lots a of really cool and rare combos came out of that year. This car is cool with the green interior on top of the sublime exterior. Only thing missing IMHO is the 4 speed.
I think 71's are the pinnacle...the door louvers, stripes, Ramcharger hood, spoliers, colour keyed bumpers, great colours... I would take one any day over the boxy 2nd generation Chargers :pokeeye:
I like the 68-70 of course but I actually prefer a 71 as well. Like the 68-70 you need big tires on them to really make them look good. The cars really drive nice and are better built than an E-body by quite a bit,

I agree, I have a 71 Roadrunner and it drives way better than the Challenger I had, even with those crappy bias ply tires on it.
1968-70 charger but mainly 68 tho best year in my opinion. I do like the the first gen charger rear seats. I would like to install it in my 68 charger. I wonder if the 71-72 chargers have any cool peices I could add to my 68
71-72 are alright if they are optioned correctly. I think the 71-72 Plymouth B-bodies look much better.

:iagree:
Not a fan of the '71 Charger, but the '71 RR is my favourite runner.

I've owned both! I think the charger is more swept and refined. The Plymouth is more ballsy and in your face. The front end looks like a predator fish trying to devour you! And the bulges over the rear wheel wells blending with the C pillars are fantastic.
My 71 EL5 N96 runner was an excellent car!
Yup: I like them both but the Charger is sleeker and looked better in NASCAR form.
Like Allan said, there is not a big market for these cars, ask me how I know :crying:

Oh yes.....I have a RR, V code, Hemi Orange, 4 spd, track pak car, numbers match car, restored to original specs, I was down to 65k USD and no calls.....go figure. Just took it off the market, guess I'm keeping it for awhile yet.

Both are cool cars but I'd have to admit I agree with you in that the RR is a nicer looking car IMO.
I'm kinda torn though, I like the front end better of the RR but like the back end of the Charger better than the RR :looney:

That sucks. Mine always enjoy it
I almost parted my 71 Charger out , the parts were worth far more than the rust free driving fully restored car was
My 71 Rt

Do you have more into it than 65K to restore it? Sounds like an awesome car!

I really love the `72-3 Rallye.

Oh I think you can answer that by looking at the car, that's ok I view this as a hobby and all hobbies cost $
That car is beautiful and well worth the $$$.

I would say so! That looks amazing! Awesome ride!
Thanks every one, lots of research went into this one. I've never taken it to any shows, maybe this year I'll get off my you know what and take her.
