68-70 Charger - Which is most sought after?

[johnnycharger]

I say the 69 is the most popular but I would also say the 70 is the more sought-after as they are harder to find in good shape and the one off parts are more expensive and rare.

68-70?

I would say 68

Contrary to what some of my DC.com brothers would say, the 1969 Charger is the gold standard!    

Agreed, 69 is the "gold" standard, but seeing that the 70 being the "platinum" standard, simply trumps gold.....sorry

And to be fair, the original post was a bit unclear as to seeking to know which year won the most in NASCAR.

The original post, no. But his second post dialed in the Nascar piece a bit more.

1969 Dodge had 21 GN wins in the '69 season, 2 of those at Superspeedways; http://racing-reference.info/raceyear/1969/W
1970 Dodge had  8 GN wins in the 1970 season. None of these at Superspeedways; http://racing-reference.info/raceyear/1970/W

Its also worth noting that in 1970, there were 9 additional wins by '69 Dodges. 5 of those 9 wins in 1970 were on superspeedway and intermediate tracks with '69 Dodges, which would have been wing cars. The other 4 were on short tracks. So Dodge was pretty dominate those two years.  I still wonder how many of those 21 wins in '69 were 500s, how many were Daytonas, and how many were plain Chargers, since the 500 kicked off the season and was joined mid year by the Daytona and both cars were used on Superspeedways as well as intermediate tracks.

There was also the USAC Stock Car divisions running at the same time. I think the plain Chargers were utilized in this series more prolificly than in Nascar. Finding detailed records for these guys is not easy for me, but here are some tid bits.

I believe pricewise "model to model" of Sales tracks through Hagerty's it was '69, '68, then '70 in that order until recently..... 1968's could now be higher, with 70's now risen also.

Thanks for some history, looks like the 1969 Model was the champion out of the 3 over-all (whether normal/daytonas or whatever) - Point is, it was the 1969 Dodge's that did all the winning, even in 1970 lol.

Well that settles that then.

I am getting a 1969 Dodge Charger to replace the 68s I gotten rid of.

The 1st one i wanted was a 69, the 1st one i rode in was a 68, the 1st 3 i owned were 70s.  But i always wanted a 69 that i have now ...so as for me its a 69!

all three are awesome cars ! & are the most beautiful shaped  car ever built !   but it will always be a  69 for me !!   68s have their good points & so to the 70s 
if I had the dough would have  all three years in a wide variety of option & color combos   

[ACUDANUT]

I'd like one of each.
