Swinger rarity...

I'll agree that the early A's were more something your parents or grandparents would drive, but the 67-72s especially were sharp looking cars IMHO. I was 21 when I bought my first and only new car...a '71 Duster and I was pretty damn proud of it.
I gather you're quite a bit younger than I am, but hand-me-down cars that high school kids get for their first car are what they are. I'd be hard pressed to name any cool cars from the mid 70s/early 80s, period.

Any Mopar was a rarity... period. I probably am younger than you, but certainly remember the back end of the muscle car era. A bodies we're a joke. They are in the same category as Mavericks, Novas, ect. I'm not knocking them. It's just the truth. There's a million stories on here of bad *** A bodies back in the day...not in my world.

I remember one. A 70/71 swinger 340 that was brown with an *** stripe and twin scoops. It lost it on a corner chasing a 70 Camaro and wiped out about a half dozen parked cars. His girlfriend's body landed about 10' from me. That's the only cool A body I remember from "back in the day". Had the twin scoops, black stripes, 340 emblems, ect. Only cool A body I ever saw outside a car show.
