Favorite Year 3rd Gen Charger?

[chargerjy9]

that's just not nice, I got somethings to say about e bodies, but this is not the place

[1972Rallye]

73 and 74 Chargers are Grandma cars. Boring and ugly. 

Brilliant

 Heehee, Just stirring the pot. I had a 73 Charger for 15 years, but I always wanted a 71-72.  The 72's (rallye) are my favorite. Let's face it...They had Louvered doors, Louvered Taillights, Power bulge hood, Hide-a-way headlights. ect.  73-74 got boring and imo they ruined the roof/body lines.

I'm surprised how popular the 72 Rallye is  very cool but not quite a 71 RT or S.B IMO. It's funny, when I first got my 72 SE I LIKED the fact it wasnt a 71 I like how it didn't have a bulge hood, stripes etc but then I started liking the 71's more... now I want my 72 to be more like a 71...as for 73-74's I think they had their good points too. I like how there's no "Arrow" emblem in the center of the bumper. I like the quarter windows on the non SE models it would have been cool if hideaway's were still optional in 73-74

The tailights on a 73-74 Charger are one of those "love em or hate em" type deals I'm kinda in the middle I neither love or hate them

 How many 71 R/T's were made ?

[Dans 68]

As I just saw an original bronze metallic, '71 R/T 4-speed yesterday, in a garage undergoing freshening up, with 56k original miles, I would have to go with that year. Used to be dragged at Fremont raceway years ago. It was beyond nice...!

"they ruined the roof/body lines." 

Never was one much for the Gremlin- like quarter glass DLO on the 71-72s, too much sheet metal on the C pillar, IMO was out of proportion to the body. Also I would say that the body lines, especially the A line was way more defined and crisp on the 73-74. the qtr glass slotted inserts on the 73-73 SE even though they hid the glass did not look as heavy as the 71-72, because of the vinyl roof and the sweeping molding that defined the edge. the whole effect was kind of organic, which blended well with the sweeping lines and curvy shapes of the body, a beautiful execution of styling, certainly not ugly. yeah, it did'nt have hidden headlights which I would have liked,but the tail lights were cool and highly styled.

Too each their own. The 73-74 were not only identical, but look at the poll. They are LAST.

man, who peed in your Wheaties?

[mikesbbody]

I think? they made more 73-74's than they did 71-72's if so then easier to find parts for them
I think also because of the change to the suspension, the 73-74's give a softer ride I drove a 73 on a few occasion's and to me it drove better than my 72. I quite like how in 74 there were no "louvers? vents?" and the end of the hoods. But I read something about there being no 4 speed 440 cars in...73? 74? both years?
