    The 68-70 Chargers will always be my favorite.

    I owned a 69 Charger R/T from 1982 until 2002. I bought it from the original owner. In 1990 I totally FULLY restored it. I loved that car to no end but sadly, I had to let it go on account of taking care of my young kids. I'm a tough old guy but i feel like crying just talking/thinking about it 😢

    When the Dukes of Hazzard tv show came out My first car in 1979 was a 1969 Charger when I was 16. My auto shop teacher sold it to me for 200 bucks just to piss off his son for getting to many tickets street racing. Then at 17, I bought a 1970 Charger then at 18 a 1971 Charger, then a 1972 and then a 1973 Duster with a 400 Magnum. Thank you Mr. Farris for selling me my first Dodge. MOPAR STILL RULES THE STREETS.

    Some day I'll have a 68 charger. I did have an 87 Charger GLHS. I was 18 and it was my first new car. I did run a 14.86 at Englishtown NJ with it. Not bad for the day.

    The Omni GLH and Charger 2.2 were to compete with the new-to-the-USA VW Rabbit GTi. Europe had the GTi way before we did, but small car performance was coming back to the USA in the early 1980s. All of the variations of the performance GLHs and Charger 2.2s were good in their day for the price. Their SLOWEST 0-60 was closer to 8.5 to 9.5 seconds, which was good in the day for that type of car. The turbo variants were much better. What is not commonly known is that the Charger 2.2 and the GLH in particular turned out to be very successful SCCA PRO Rally Production and Production GT class rally cars. Because so many were wrecked in competition, you will be lucky to see one now.

    The 1969 Dodge Charger has been my dream car ever since I first saw the Dukes of Hazzard as a 10 year old. I'm 54 and it's still my dream car. A four door Charger is just an abomination to the name no matter how much horsepower it has. Same goes for an EV Charger.

    I had a '71 SE Charger 383 4 speed manual, as the first car I ever bought and owned at 18 years old. It was already 10 yrs. old when I bought it, but was in great shape. Bought it for $500. Loved that car!!

    Making icons into family cars. Four doors on Wranglers just look wrong to me. Mustang Mach-E? Don't get me started. How long before the Challenger gets more doors and cupholders? When will we see an El Camino minivan? At least Porsche had the decency to call it a Panamera and not 911+2. They may be good cars in their own right, but just call them something else. Chargers should be coupes, rear wheel drive, and run on gas. At least that's what I think.

    Chrysler Australia made Valiant 4 door Sedan and Station Wagon from (1962 - 1980). Chrysler Charger from (1971 - 197. Chrysler Regal (1976 - 1980) and a Dodge Utility. The Regal and the Charger we're a similar body shape as the Charger like the General Lee
