I have to agree here GM always had better designs than Chrysler except for 68-70 in my opinion.

For example the 66-67 Chevy Chevelle looked better than any Mopar in those model years and I think the public agreed when you look at the sales numbers. Chrysler got wise in 1968 though when the Charger was redesigned.

Chrysler always had the best engines but the ugliest cars in the early to mid 60's

Charger-Bodie

I like the look of a 66 or 67 Coronet or GTX far better than any Chebelle. And as far as the 50s go I would rather have a 58 Plymouth 2 door hardtop than any other 50s car period.

I do dislike the greenhouse barravaliants though.

I like the boxy look of the 66-67 Coronets too but I can't deny that the 67 Chevelle looked good. If you look at the Chevelle it had some of the same design elements as the 68-70 Charger such as the sunken rear window and curvy rear hips (quarter panels)   :Twocents:

im a mopar nut fav's are 2nd gen chargers. but when a guy spends his time on it to sit at a show and prepare it for the day, i'll drool over it. the ones i dont care for are the ones that head to barrett jackson for a bunch of rich people to bid on that most of them never sweat over and dont respect the car,just wanna make a buck on it next year.

I don't really like the looks of this one:



No kidding!  The trailer hitch really ruins it.

 The wing cars. I understand the reason and I admire then for being rare. But I can remeber seeing pictures/models of them when I was a kid and thinking.... that sure would be a cool looking car if you got rid of that silly wing and goofy looking nose cone thing.

Ponch ®

Another vote for the early barracudas. I used to not like the early B-bodies either, but the more I see them at shows and whatnot the more they grow on me. Beyond that, also don't like 71-up darts/valiants and 73/74 Roadrunners and e-bodies.

I couldn't find anything I liked from 1961.  I thought it would be cool to have a car from the year I was born.  I never liked the Dusters, but they have realy started to grow on me.  I can see myself in one of those.  The wing cars I obviously love, but I remember as a kid there was a Bird on a local lot.  It was about 3 years old and still new.  My brother and I both were hounding my dad to get that one.  He said that car is butt ugly.  I wouldn't drive that if they gave it to me.  He bought a red 73 Sebring Satelite, that he brought back the next day because it rattled so bad and got a 73 Ugly green charger.  I wonder if he had gotten the yellow bird I wanted, if I would have wrecked it shortly after my 16th birthday, like I did his Charger :shruggy:

Don't like the pre -70 barracudas, challengers -72 and up and have some minor problems with

early valiant  :eek2:

agreed, and Darts ( not the big ones, I mean the A bodies ).

including first gen Barracudas/Valiants, although they have some charming somehow... somewhere :shruggy:. I like 65/66 darts though

mmmm mostly of Plymouths. I think in fact will be easier to me make a Plymouths list that I like.

73 and lates Darts although GTs could it be some exception, but the front end.

average, 60/65 period has lot of very bad examples of a good looking car, any brand, with maybe just the 64 sport fury exception

to some brand, I can include 59s too.

I don't care for 1st gen Chargers (sorry guys).. I've tried, just can't see the attraction.

Basically anything built after about '74 wasn't my cup of tea and lets not get started about anything from the '80's.

My first love is 68-70 B-bodies  :2thumbs:

Wow, some suprising answeres here.

Mine,   Stock Early A Body Darts and Valiants, so ugly only a mother could love them.  But hot rodded up, they look pretty good.  Love the second gen Valiant, kind a cute little car.

4 Door 70 Coronets, they just dont look right.

72-74 Cudas they do look better than 72-74 Challengers though

Love the notchback cudas, something about that body line and how it flows into the fender line.

3rd gen Chargers, depending on the style, why did they make them with such a long nose?  A NASCAR thing?  sitting next to a 71-72 Plymouth they are the same length, but the Plymouth looks so much better.

73 and 74 Road Runners not so good looking.  Dodge Magnums are great looking cars, so much better than a Cordoba

73 and after Darts, dont like the formal looking style of them.



Manfred318

I like most classic MoPars. I wouldnt turn down any of 'em if the deal was right. Heres my list of the ones I dont particularly care for.

'64-'74 Barracuda and 'Cuda. Ive never really cared for them. I think they are all rather ugly in their own way. Would I turn one down? No, but it sure wouldnt be my first choice either.

'65 Belvedere/Satellite. The whole car looks odd to me.

'74-'76 Darts. Im not a huge fan of the pointy front end. I own a '75 and it drives and rides great, but its still pretty ugly in the front.


Current MoPars:
1968 Charger. 318 Out of commission:(
1975 Dart Swinger. 225 Pops daily ride.
1990 Dodge Ram. 360FI My daily ride.
2007 Magnum R/T. 5.7 Family wagon.

68-70 Chargers  :whistling: :stirthepot:

Yea, right. :lol:

Yes, Kidding of course  :lol: but being a 3rd Gen guy I would take a 71-72 over a 68-70 (call me crazy if you want 2nd Gen Guy's) Truth be told, I like 68-70's but if I could change anything on them it would be flusher door handles, hidden wipers, and no side vent windows possibly some kind of "Bulge" hood that suits? What don't I like? 72 up Sidemarker lights on anything 72-74 Challenger Grills, Sidemarker Lights, Grills, Tailights can all be changed if one is willing though.

How about the old Chrysler land yachts? Anyone?

I like them! some more than others don't know too much about them but I think they are cool.
Not as cool as B or E Bodies IMO.
