68,69,or 70?

[squeakfinder]

I think when it comes to the few cosmetic differences of the car the 68 is the best. No offence to 69 and 70 owners but I don't care for the Pontiac split grill of 69 or the Chrysler 300 looking front end of the 70.

[terrible one]

'68 is my favorite year. I really like the wide open '68 grill. However, I have to admit, I may like the '69 tail lights better than those of the '68.

[Zentelis]

'68..It's the tail lights that won me over. It was a toss up between '68 and '70 'cause I love that long single grill, but as soon as I saw Blade's triple-black '68, I knew which one I had to have

[squeakfinder]

Triple Black? Doe's tipple black mean 'Black exterior, black convertable top and black interior." Or in are cases "Black exterior, black vinyl top and black interior."?

[69charger2002]

too hard for me to decide.. but truthfully i will say the 70 is MY personal least favorite, while it's my wife's favorite. i just think the bumper takes away from the flow of the body on a 70.. my wife of course, just likes it because it's  more chrome. by the way rotsparts, yes triple black is exactly what you are thinking

[BigBlockSam]

I think 69 and 70 tailights suit the shape of the car better 

thats what makes the 68 special are the tail lights .

Gotta like'em all!!

1968, the grille is just perfect for the car

[Rolling_Thunder]

people like the 1969 grill, the 1968 tailights, and the options available for a 1970 ---    in my opinion....     i like the 69 taillights, the 68 grill and the 70 option list....      hows that for being a rebel ?   

[69DodgeCharger]

Take a 68 body, put in a 69 tailpanel and tailights and use the 70 interior and and a 70 trunklid with a wing, of course you would need 69 or 70 doors to use the 70 interior.....I think that would be one good looking car add a pistol grip 4 spd. just to really make it nice

[Lowprofile]

I would say 70 RT is the most desirable. next would be the 68 and then the 69.

I agree. I've owned a few over the years [all 3] and the 70' has always been my favorite.   

[Blusmbl]

Make mine a '68 with the '70 option list.  Woodgrain and pistol grip, please.  I like the '68 seat stitching, though.

[Brock Samson]

Blondes, brunettes, or redheads...I like 'em all. 

That about sums it up.  I don't think people care as much about years as they do for options and equipment on the car; a rustbucket all-original '70 hemi 4 speed will get more attention than a councours-correct '68 with a slant 6 and column shift. 

Personally, I think the '68 is the best year: the best grill (I hate the chrome "labia" on the 70), tail lights, etc..

   "the chrome "labia" on the 70"         

Ya' know you Really Need To Get Out More..   

[rare69]

has to be 69! like the tail lights ,grille and wood grain interior better than 68 and dont really care for the 70 chrome bumper.

[HeavyFuel]

Make mine a '68 with the '70 option list.  Woodgrain and pistol grip, please.  I like the '68 seat stitching, though.

The only drawback of the '68 is the short option list.

[azraelck]

Hmmm. A car I don't have, and most likely never will, vs a car I don't have, and most likely never will, vs a car I don't have, and most likely never will. Hard choice for me.

I like the '68 Grill best, '69 tailights, but I like the '70's tailights just a well. I wouldn't mix and match one either, unles I grabbed a solid but stripped out car. Then I might consider it.

Why do you say will never have?  Do you not want one?  I can see saying, "I most likely will never have an original Hemi car or a Daytona but 2nd gens are still available and although prices are going up they are still not like e body prices".  If you truly want a 68, 69 or 70 you can get one.

[Manfred318]

I would have to say '68 for me. Not to say I don't like the '69 and '70, I just like the looks of the '68 a bit better. 

[CaptMarvel]

Although I own a 68 R/T and love it, my ultimate favorite of the three is and always has been the 69.
My opinion is as follows:

68's: best interior
69's: best grille and taillight treatments
70's: cool tailights like the 69, but the grille is butt ugly like a big catfish! and all other 70 Mopar grilles...

Sorry, but the 70 is by far my least favorite...

[MoparUSAF]

the 1969

[4forty]

the great 68!  But I love 'em all........

[19Charger68]

1968!!!!, but would not turn down a 69 or 70.

Because I most likely won't. First off, I now have a bad back, thanks to a drunk in a Caravan. So a major project is out. I was trying to dump my truck because it's too much project for my back to handle. I'm only keeping it because no one wants a rolling frame and cab, even if it has a good rear end in it. Plus, that rear might come in handy. Second, prices have skyrocketed to the point where I've all but discounted a 2nd gen unless I get a much much better paying job than I have now. Gutted trash, needing everything, sells for more than I paid for any car I've owned save the Cobalt. Cars in tolerable shape, but needing work and restoration,  cost more than the $14k I paid for the Cobalt.

Now a 3rd gen, I can and probably will get. In fact, if it wasn't for my brother needing a loan, I'd have a '72 SE right now. I've passed up three so far, all three combined asked for less than the cheapest I've seen a decent 2nd gen go for. Only one of those three were in a relatively poor condition, and it was in better shape than my Dart. 1st Gens, I've never seen one for sale. But then I don't look for them that hard.

Believe me, I'd love to have one. I graduated from The Duke School of Driving for Juvienile Deliquents shortly after graduating from Elwood Blues' Defensive Driving School. But my cynicism and pessimism comes first, and that says realistically, I need a lucky lottery ticket to even get a project.
