Should I trade a '69 for a '70?

[Patronus]

Howdy boys. Been thinking, as one does...
And I gotta say I just been liking them '70 Chargers more and more these days.
In all fairness, I was never a "Charger" guy. I had a chance to learn and restore a '69 that I still have and I'm very happy. Yet for some reason every time I see a '70 Im 
Ya Dukes ya- whatever..
What sayeth the flock?

[RallyeMike]

Either no or yes.

Maybe.

[70 sublime]

I voted yes trade a 69 for a 70

70 had so many nicer factory colours that look right on them and look foolish on the 68 69 Chargers

But yes I did just sell my 70 and have started working on a 69 which I hope to have a few 70 parts on when I am done

I say what ever makes YOU happy.

[ws23rt]

My vote is yes.---You indicated your bit of drull for the 70s That says it all. Time passes fast.
I had a 70 charger and frankly still prefer it to the 68 or 69 overall.--

[Baldwinvette77]

Just make sure it's really what you want, i know way too many people (like myself) who thinks they prefer one thing over another, try it, then wish thy just stuck with what they had before

70 IS THE BEST

[kab69440]

I wouldn't. If it'll make you happy, though, I say go for it.

The 70 Charger has it all happening, pistol grip shifters, side scoops, 440 6 pack, wrap around front bumper, rear taillight fascia panel, racing mirrors, the interior is more refined looking, factory color choices are more attractive, plenty of stripe options, hood pins, rear wing option, rallye wheels,....I look at it this way 68,69,70, or good, better, BEST

[ht4spd307]

stick with the 1969 ----1970 is a parts run out model

The '70 wrap around bumper and grill looks like a Philishave electric razor.

LOL


as RC/dirty turbin says,, the front looks like a harmonica

[Scaregrabber]

I absolutely prefer the 70's. I love the loop bumper, cooler looking front fenders, R/T door scoops, high back buckets, 15X7 rallye wheels, pistol grip shifter, cooler colours, nicer steering wheels, newer disc brake setup etc. Other opinions may vary.

70 is the one I'd have for all the reasons already said

Go for it, a Mopar is Win Win anyway!

I was looking for a 70 wham I found my 69. In addition to the above, I believe the 70 has lower production numbers.

[VegasCharger]

Since you have the option "ok, ok a '68" I voted for that even though the topic was for 69 to 70.

But if I had to chose between 69 and 70 then I would go with 69. Just because it's closer looking to the 68 lol.

Since I like black 2nd gen. Chargers the 70s impact colors are not an advantage over 68/69.

No 2nd gen. Charger should have a wing on it with the exception of the Daytonas IMO even though it was an option in 70.

Loop front bumper, no thanks. R/T scoops covering the iconic door scallops, what were they thinking. Door panels way better in 68/69.

But it's you that's going to be behind the wheel, if love the 70s then I say go for it.

 Get one of each.  I would love to have one of all 3 years of the 2nd generation.

[Derwud]

That car is beautiful....

I am biased, but 70 all the way!!

Best answer yet

The '70 wrap around bumper and grill looks like a Philishave electric razor. 

I always thought of the bumper/grille as a chromed labia.  I guess that could either be a compliment or an insult...

That's an insult!

have  you found a particular  70 charger  ?  if so , how much work does it need  compared to your 69 ,   does the 70 charger have the options & color combo you like ? how rot free & complete is it compared to your 69 ?  do they both require the same amount of work to restore them to the same standard ? if you have not got your eye on one all ready ,& your plan was / is not a factory OEM resto . ignore what ive just said  

imo 70 chargers have the best options & colors & interiors !  look at a 70 SE interior & compare it to a 68/69 ,

would I swap  mine for a , yellow & black top interior  70 R/T SE ,  , nope    would love to own one as well as   &  a 68 too   , given a choice , one year only ! would be a 69 every time for me .
