15 Cars That Made Chrysler...

I had a '68 Hemi Roadrunner... It was my first NEW car. Needless to say it still one of my favorites.

Also had a 76 LRE. 360/727. It was a disappointment, to put it mildly. I bought it in 1979 with 19,000 miles on it. It was sluggish, due to the 360 being choked down with pollution controls, and being severely down in HP/torque.

Also, it was subject to a lot of rattling, and within 2 years some body rot, and plenty of little things going wrong. Not a very good specimen of MoPar's product, but typical of what they were producing at the time. Something seemed to happen to them after about 1973 or 76 where quality just completely fell off the table.

I replaced the LRE with a 1978 Dodge Warlock. More power, better performance, less BS and more truck. I was very happy with the Warlock, it was everything the LRE wasn't, mainly RELIABLE!
