What is the one NON-powertrain option you most wish your car had?

Probably the exaggerated wing package that came with a unique front bumper and fender scoops.

Maybe two others in my case would be tach and 26 inch rad.

The 73 has everything except a sun roof, so that would be nice.
BUt on the 67 ... A/C for SURE!

69 OUR/TEA

With all the responces of options wanted,guess I should be happy.Not on my tag is the six way seat,headrests,and rear defogger.
So the one more option I wish my car had would be cruise control.

My R/T S.E. has all of these & several other additional options also. Since it is loaded from the Factory it has everything I could ask for except the sunroof. Don't even know if I would want that in it anyway. Doesn't seem musclecarish to me anyway. Mine even has the tow package. Still has evidence of when the hitch was once on the car. Been looking for another hitch just to have.

Power disc brakes! What were they thinking with power steering but manual drum brakes!

Do you mean your car has the options in green, but not the ones in black?

I haven't even driven mine and I already wish it had A/C.   Maybe I should move up north :)
[ŌŌ]ƖƖƖƖƖƖƖƖƖƖƖƖƖƖƖƖƖƖƖƖƖƖƖƖƖƖƖ[ŌŌ] = 68

Eh, that won't help.  -8 (C) here this morning and this summer it will still be 98 in July!   :flame:

Ya I'd have to go with power disk brakes but atleast that can be changed too :2thumbs:

If you had A/C did you know that the costs of keeping it working every year would kill you financially.  :shruggy:

how do you figure that??  If you have to maintain or fix it every year, there is a problem that needs to be addressed. I put factory R-12 AC in my Dakota maybe 5 years ago...still going strong with no loss of cooling issues

Well, if your car is 40 plus years old, chances are you have replaced everything at least 3 times in that 40 year period.  Plus, if you only drive your car 6 times a year, your a/c system ain't worth the trouble:Twocents:

Does anybody wish they had the passenger side mirror?  Since my car's not finished yet I don't know how useful it is - I've been told it's in a lousy location and basically good for nothing anyway, but I don't know this firsthand.  

My 68 R/T has every other option save for the rear shoulder belts and the towing package, and since I don't plan on sitting in the back or towing anything, I'm pretty sure I won't miss those.   :icon_smile_big:

I have one on the 67 and 73 ... and yes, it's useless.  Mostly because it is a regular mirror, not the "objects are closer" kind, what ever you cal them. 
But I think looks wise they do balance out the car.

I would like the "streamlining" option, providing the pointed nose and rear wing!
