Mopars that are so ugly they hurt you eyes!

Hey thats where the 400 and 727 for my Dart came from! Got my own entry for fugliest. along with the worst advertising.

The 82 Vette sucked! And it was a factor in their decision. One plant wouldn't have stopped a hot model. I just saw a whole car episode on that subject. (It was those late morning Motor Trend shows.) It was not good times in American auto industry.

And who seized the opportunity? JAPAN

One plant could have, in fact, stopped the entire model since Bowling Green is the ONLY Corvette plant in the world.

Front looks weird but I wouldn't mind owning one! Or a '63, an old member here had one, JMacsMopars I think.

That thing is one ugly vision of the future. I wonder where they got a 440 in '56? 10 years before the 440 was introduced? Maybe the RB wedge design is older than we were led to believe?

To each their own but for me it's any of the beaker cars. I'm also not a huge fan of the rear end on the 70 and up Darts. The front end change was nice looking on a 70 Dart, if only they would have left the rear end like the 67-69's (my opinion).

Lastly I think Superbirds are kinda ugly. Way to slab sided and long. Daytona's are much better looking.

I agree on the Superbird. And so did the public back in 70. The 69 Daytona didn't sell well either. I personally believe most all B-bodies '69s looked better than '70. Just my personal taste of course.

I really don't find any of them ugly, some weird but they are a part of the mopar history. Gm on the other hand has some fugly *** cars and trucks!

Beauty is in the eye of the beholder, a guy said, that is way smarter than me.

Dodge was naming big cars 330's and 440's way before the engine?

1970 was pinnacle of road runner styling IMHO. I think they used up all their talent on that, and the 70 coronet got the leftovers.

70 roadrunner is a car I wouldn't get caught dead in I think it's the ugliest car Chrysler has ever made they went totally backwards in the 70s except for the darts and the eBody

 

[moparmat2000]

Maybe your thinking of the 1971 up fuselage body cars.

 

[Shenango]

That is one ugly Dodge. Can I have it?

JC. You can hide this butt ugly black charger in my garage any time you want. I would give it a good home.

Can someone explain to me, or point me somewhere what TOAD means? I've seen it here before, and googled it which wasn't much help.

cool looking Toad...

 

[Jadaharabi]

Yeah that's what I was thinking to somebody must have blew up the original 440 in it GTX s were 440 or Hemi only

The 440 was standard in the GTX. The 383 was an option as was the hemi. Kind of backward.

I dont think the 383 was optional on the GTX. Kinda like the charger R/T was 440 or HEMI only.

I totally agree with you

The 82 Vette sucked!

But it had a "special edition" option-HoHum:

Those Virgil Exner designed cars from the late 50's to early 70's used exotic styling tips from the aviation and space industries....no boring me too designs from him.

You sure you mean 1970? They look exactly the same as the 1969s just with a different grille and taillights... I think they're gorgeous

1971-74 was the total redesign with the swoopy fuselage body. I used to think they were ugly but now they've grown on me after seeing them in person, also the aerodynamics were 1,000% better than the previous-gen B-bodies.
