Dodge poster child

[barbee6043]

The idea of the '68 SuperBee obviously came from the 68 RoadRunner. I had them all, but I always preferred the basic niss of the RoadRunner. I had 2 A12 Bees and missed out getting a A12 Runner back then. Like said above, the A12 was a beast in its ow right.

70 Charger for me . Owned one for 30+ years and loved how it looked and drove . Cudas and Challengers were great looking but I don’t like how low you sit in them and they were a bit too rattley . My favorite a body was my 73 340 4sp Dart followed by my 68 Barracuda Fastback.
The Dart was sharp looking in B5 blue with white interior and color keyed sport mirrors / hood scoop . It also drove tight .
My 68 Barracuda feels SO compact and maneuverable .
I own a 69 340 4sp Swinger as well but it feels much larger than the Barracuda .

I love posts like this. Brings back a lot of memories.
1969 Super Bee, 383 Auto in B5 Blue.
1972 Demon 340 in Orange.
Now a Bronze 66 Barracuda with a 360.

For me it's the 1970 Roadrunner in B5 Blue, would love to have one but will never be able to afford it!

I love this car! Moperfect

68-69 Charger, for me! So many awesome body lines and great trim packages, and the interiors did not disappoint either. Just an all-around kick-*** package.

You mean Daytona

I do not.

As a kid in the '80's, I would see the Road Runner and Twister in the back panels of certain cars and think "that's really neat, that car is into the same cartoons I am!" (I always assumed the twister was the Tasmanian Devil).

Peak muscle was HIP and flash, loud and proud, fender flares and cherry bombs. Nothing had more flash and distinction than the Superbird (he's holding a helmet, he's ready to race) and Daytona, but the 'bird programmed a second generation of enthusiasts.

The '68-'69 Charger are possibly more pinnacle muscle car, but the Charger or Challenger could be a 318 car, and no Superbird ever came with less than the brawniest driveline package. A slant six 'bird would be a neat machine, but would dilute the bloodlines.

It was also the only model that didn't get raped and pillaged by lazy factory designers and marketing people in later years. You never have to specify a year range or family design. It's just "Superbird". Nothing more.

So, I choose the Superbird.

I would never argue that a super bird wasn't a unique and Pinnacle Mopar but the question was what would be your car to represent classic Dodge Mopar muscle not Plymouth.

'71 Demon 340 then.

 

[Dart Frog]

I don't think anyone could argue against the 68 69 70 charger yes gorgeous yes unique . It's all subject to personal opinions I realize I just thought I would like to see what others would say in the Mopar world.

 

[Dart Frog]

Maybe not one of the very top but definitely worth honorable mention.

 

[jos51700]

I wanna vote Charger so hard, but....

Not that Demons didn't have slant 6's too, but if I specify Demon 340 I'm covered, and they have been limited in when they recycled that name. No Mitsubishi Challengers for me, thanks!

If you don't specify R/T, you're leaving a lot out there.

 

[Lift&Move]

I loved my 70 Charger Custom 500, and my 73 Cuda, good candidates for sure.
But my vote is for the 68 Dart.
Not only for it's beautiful front end (my favorite grille) but also it's bloodline in the Hemi Super Stock.

For Plymouth... The Icon...

1968 Road Runner...

Another very rare car from my home Province of Newfoundland, Canada.

A one of two produced with the slant 6 and a 3 speed manual column shifted transmission.

This one is in Lewin's Cove, Newfoundland and was owner restored.

Asking price...$254,000.00 US.

That was part of the appeal of the Charger, various price classes could get in one, depending on the options chosen.

I was going to go with that one first, but thoughts of F body 'Runners ruined the fantasy.

For peak muscle car, I really do think it has to be a Plymouth. The bare knuckles car line that still stepped up to the plate.

70 charger rt. I like the unbroken grill with the donut bumper like a fighter jet intake, and the tail lights look so clean.

I'm the other way LOL !


I love the split grill but... I also love the look of the 70 taillights!

 

[S'cuder]

68 Charger r/t for me, but it was obvious that they stole the C pillar design from the 66-67 Chevelle. Next up 70 E-bodies, obviously stolen from Camaro`s , Dusters stolen from the Nova`s. Everybody was stealing each other`s design queue's.

Yep. The 1970 Camaro design was pretty obviously lifted from the 1967 Barracuda.
