I always wanted a 68 Fastback super stocker clone ..so finally one day I get a 1968 Fastback 340 car....I started plans to mini tub and 4 link...then a fellow friend really heavy into the scene said why did you get that style barracuda...I said what you mean..he said that's a woman's car back in the day....hmmmmm...didn't really bother me but I never could forget the comment...maybe he was just ignorant, maybe jealous...but he had many cars....I sold it and bought a few more Demons and Dusters and Darts oh my...
What’s the attraction?

Yea, not a pretty pair of years the ‘64 & ‘65 IMO which means nothing… LOL! It’s just an opinion. Like buttholes… everyone got one. I’m told more often than not that my Magnum just isn’t a great looking car, not a real muscle car (well no freakin DUH! there!) it’s styling of not all that great… the list goes on. The best was my good friends wife who walked up on us laughing asking “Did ya see that white and red “Pimp” car up front?” I laughed my *** off and offered a ride where she about turned red and said sorry. I just said “No worries and don’t apologize, that was a great comment!”
Now I have to go find “Huggy Bear!”
Once in a while someone’s says it’s cool or thinks that different is cool.
I really don’t care who likes it and who don’t since I like the car and got it for me and no one else. (Candy beat the price tag ether, $500! I’m sure many here are of the same thinking on there cars.
If some guy walks up on my car and starts running the mouth, I just interrupt and ask if the car actually bothers him. I say I can change that, I’m a magician! Turn around and take 5 giant steps, then say, take 5 more, no wait, take 5 more giant steps, then I say keep walking, your problem is fixed! Wa-La!!!
Not this fan fav but at the same time, WGAF?
As long as the owner operator enjoys it, it’s a HOMERUN!
There’s actually a bunch of models I don’t care for.
That just leaves room for the guy that does to scoop it up.
I say get what ya want and enjoy it. Screw the other guy.
Depends on what I have now that has no drivetrain.
Now if you are talking ugly....
Every time I see a Tesla from the front all I can think of is....
Wade Wilson (AKA Deadpool) from "Wolverine" and the end of "Deadpool 2"

That Tesla looks like it’s missing lip stick
It's a D/SA Nostalgia Super Stocker.

Safety regulations came into play.
Those same safety regulations are in play today and today's cars don't look like that!
Now the duster style looks awesome
They didn't know about plastic bumper covers back then. They were still modifying chrome steel bumpers with shock absorbers and grey plastic fillers.
The 66s are not my favorite, but I admit they've grown on me over the years......but I would never start a thread sayin they were ugly. LOL

I love the 1st gen Barracudas and Chargers. Sweet styling for the time, IMO. Of course, I'm really weird and love the AMC Marlin and Gremlins as well!

They don't have to be pretty as long as they have a little Mopar badassery!

I like the early Barracuda.
I like the beak cars too.
There's some Mopars that I don't like, but I don't say anything about it here. I Remember my momma said, if you can't say anything nice, don't say nothing at all.

The body lines on that Dart NEED that stance. Stock? Not so hot. Add a little rake and it's hotter than Hades
Not a bad looking car, but the lines seem really passive on the back half until it's got some rake.
I agree. It's like they were built to become hot rods.
The interiors of the 66-67 Chargers are amazing but I have never liked the body styling.
The early Barracuda models do NOT appeal to me in the slightest. The early Valiant either...I love the 67-76 styling though.
One thing that really helps ALL of these cars is the right stance. A little nose down with big back tires tucked in transforms the look of a car.
I hated them so much back then that I sold my 66 D/Dart. I don’t mind them at all now. Even the 60s trucks were ugly. Now I like them. My how the times have changed. Kim
