Where are the FOUR DOOR years!!!   

new model...

[Charger 1]

'69 all the way!!!

[noff57]

I have a 73 but 68 is my fav..

[moparstuart]

68

[404NOTFOUND]

'69. Hottest tailights ever put on a car.

[maxwellwedge]

68 - The original ground breaking design.

[Cooter]

'69. Hottest tailights ever put on a car.

X2 

[nvrbdn]

when younger, 68. but my 70 has grown on me so much it is now my fav year. so i tipped the scale in that direction.

[Lennard]

'68 and '69 equally.

[41husk]

I would go with gens. I would go 2nd gen, 3rd gen, 1st gen.  I prefer the 70 RT in the second gens but prefer the Daytona if they are counted to any.  2nd gen favs are 72 rallye, 71 Bee, 71 RT in that order  

[nvrbdn]

i like your break down husk. that would really give a feel for the exact favorite model,year,option out there. just would have alot of options in the poll.

[Mikesmoparperformance]

1969!

[RallyeMike]

I would go with gens. I would go 2nd gen, 3rd gen, 1st gen. 

I don't know if I'd do that as the 71-72 cars are mechanically very different from the 73-74 cars. The drive and feel is quite different due to the 73-74 isolated suspension, which separates a lot of fans between the two bodies. Its worth separating the 71-72s from the 73-74s.

The poll would have been better broken out instead of 71 vs 72-74, as 71-72 vs 73-74, or even listing 71 and 72 individually and 73-74 as one.

Of course it doesnt really matter, because 69 is best, and the rest are just also-rans

and it will always be the '68 why do the other years even think they stand a chance?  The '69 is closest to the '68 thats why it gets sympathy votes.

[Slowpoke]

68 of course because thats what I own.  , but i do so want a 71 to go along with it.

[Budnicks]

1968 Charger R/T is my favorite & my 1st car, I like the 2nd generation 1968-70 the best, especially any R/T big block cars, but wouldn't mind any 66-72 Big block car...

[angel#]

1969 

[Dans 68]

1968. The most beautiful, striking and iconic muscle car ever designed. Sorry, I'm slightly biased....

[covet66]

I gotta go with first gens- not most peoples favourite, but a pretty nice car- love mine

[Chryco Psycho]

Has to be the 71 , bullet through the air , nicer ride than the second gen , Petty , but I know I am alone 

[The70RT]

2070

[1974dodgecharger]

I think alot of folks are gonna say 69 or 70 since the first gen was kinda like an experiment not many fokls like first gen cars, but then 2nd gen hits and they got it right mean, powerful, and sadistic like that we all envy, but then came the 3rd gen where they kinda wanted a luxury status, but yet muscle looking, but then it went FULL BORE on luxury the charger (cordova line up) was the new charger with more luxury looking than a muscle car.

Lets not forget the other CHARGER the so called SHELBY charger that some folks will swear up and down their mothers grave that they have a legit muscle car with 2.3L with a manual transmission stuck behind trying to race other true muscle cars.  These guys will tell you their shelby chargers are worth more NOW than they were in the 80s or so theres even one on ebay where folks say their cars are true muscle car classics.

then we have the 4 door charger nameplate well lets pack my family in this muscle car and go racing make sure the 6 month old is strapped in the 6 point harness in the rear back seat along with the 8 and 10 year old back with helmets and what not and dont forget the picknick basket in the trunk.

I,m feeling the same same way,  when I was looking for a Charger it had to be a 68 or 69, the 68 is what I ended up getting and now is my first choice if I was going to do another.

[404NOTFOUND]

'68 is currently beating '69 in the poll. The only logical explanation is that more '68 owners joined the forum to work out the bugs that always plague first year launches.

[nelson_audet]

yep same result of the 2011 poll... 1968 winner at this time..... i can only agree 1968 is a beautifull model... but for me nothing can beat the split grill and the long tail light and black rear panel of the 69.....

i also prefer the 1969 console.. the silver 68 i dont like it... same for the pad dash and the grain on the dash.. i don t like the line grain of the 68...

[Chryco Psycho]

for me if I had to have a second gen the 70 is the one I like best , 8 options not previously available
High back buckets
racing mirrors
Ralley wheels
FC7 paint
Go wing
Pistol grip
door scoops
6 Pack
+
Black out hood decals
full wrap around front bumper
Charcoal interior

Agreed on all but I do like the seat covers on the '68 probably as much as the '69, they are really nice.

'69 may be my favorite but the '68 is a very close second.  I wouldn't say no to a '70 either although I'm not a fan of the interior upgrades. 

[cdr]

68,70,69

[nelson_audet]

i dont like too the 70 seat.... door panel..... ignition on the steering column... but i love this pistol grip !!!!!!

for the seat my favorite seat cover are the 69 with the square motif ! i love it !!

No just better looking tail section & grill

Favorite years are 66-74
Love em all but If I had to choose just one year its a tie between a 68 and a 71

[Stretch]

What! No Omni charger? At least they had only 2 doors. So what if the wrong wheels were driven!

I voted 1st. gen. I almost bought a mauve '66 318 powered car. I just missed a '67 440 4speed car with a red gut! Ho man did I want that car! I love the 3rd gen that I have now but I'm just a dork for the homely cars. I am looking for a '66 A body to build a hot rod out of as we speak.

[Stretch]

[XS29L]

1968 all the way!!!  Mine is a 440 auto 8 3/4 .  I do like the '69 500 and Daytona also.

[nvrbdn]

68 definately runnin away with it.

[Budnicks]

68 definately runnin away with it.

Yep, best looking car ever produced by MaMopar IMHO... 

[The70RT]

They made more 68's and 69's so more votors. The made fewer 70's, but they had more of the the wow factor, pistol grip shifters, highback buckets & impact colors 

[Fred]

I don't think it's a question of how many were made.
One 68/69 still looks better than 100 of any other year!!    It's about body shape. grill work and tail lights.

[Topher]

Ya know, I do believe Ma got it right the first time around with 1st gens. The following years were an attempt achieve the same greatness, but fell way short.

Man i dig your car bro  makes me want a 66 I saw for only 4500, wonder if I should get it.

[68X426]

Still zero for the 4 doors. 

[1974dodgecharger]

Still zero for the 4 doors. 

I dont see anything i 75 and above for the cordova charger?

[Stretch]

Of the 2nd gen cars I like the '70's the best! I just love the tough look of that wrap around bumper. I like the taillights of the '70 better too. That being said I love the not divided grill of the '68 cars!

[Back N Black]

I spent years looking for a 68, but in the end bought a 69. So. i love the 68 and 69 equally. Third choice would be 70-71 Cuda, but that's a different topic.

Thanks! 

If it's solid, and everything is there, that's not a bad price.

[nvrbdn]

1968 - The one I have...
1970 - Especially the high impact colors
1971 - Mostly the R/T, then the Superbee, then the SE
1966 - Because of the cool interior and Hemi option
1967 - Because it resembles a 1966, plus the 440 engine option
1972 - Mostly because of the Rallye
1973 - Because Petty won a lot with this bodystyle!
1974 - See above
2011-2012 - A better design than the 2005-2012
2005-2010 - At the bottom of the shitpile! Except for:
All the others (late '70s-'80s etc)....
