The least seen charger

[brigond]

Thought this might be fun, informative, and interesting. Feel free to give a reason why you have seen more or less of any generation charger.

[johnnyseville]

Definitely the first generation, which is sad.  Maybe only because it was 2 years in production, maybe for some reason it never caught on.  I like it, especially the rear buckets, very unique, liked the fast back styling too.  But it is, what it is, takes a back seat to both other generations.

[JB400]

For me, all 3.  I don't see Chargers around here period.  Just mine.    Other mopars, yes.  The newer bodystyles are a completely different story

[TruckDriver]

It's been about 3 years since I seen a first gen Charger. But there are two 2nd gen Charger's here in town near me, and there is a few 3rd gen's near me as well, including a '71 Super Bee the guy drives all the time.

[G-man]

First gen factually. I also think they are nice/interesting.

[Mopar Nut]

I don't see that many of the three here either.

[XS29L9Bxxxxxx]

The later ones from mid-late 70s... They are not really "collectible" enough to fix up and be seen (yet) 

[Ghoste]

Not counting the one in my garage it would be the 1st gens that I never see.  With the lowest production (half year production on the 66 and too little too late by 67) its no wonder though.

[Mytur Binsdirti]

You forgot to add the Omni based Chargers.

[41husk]

even with the 83-89 I would say 1st gen

[41husk]

Other would cover the Cordoba throug now models

[moparstuart]

we must just have a ton of first gens around here
I see then as much as third gens

[Dino]

Apart from my own I never see Chargers.  Come to think of it, I don't think I've ever seen a 1st or 3rd gen in person!

[440mike]

I say other than my 67 I dont see many first gens.   Lots of 2nd and 3rd gens around here in Mn.

[Ram07]

There is one 67 driving around here....never see any others!

[Cooter]

There's about three-four months that nobody drives 'em period. (Winter.salt)...

However, the ones that do have 'em don't drive 'em From what I've heard, due to too many idiots on the road. Other than mine, I don't see 2nd Gens, and first gens almost never. Some 3rd gens around, but not driven regularly.

[440mike]

Now after writing this morning I never see any first gens besides mine, a buddy called and he and another friend each bought first gens!  1 is a copper type 66 318 poly, very clean and nice driver but is putting in a built 383 and the other is a triple black 67 440 4 speed, also very clean and needs very little to be back on the road!  I guess the guy also has a 59 fury cop car with 29k orig miles on it for sale.

[FlatbackFanatic]

Hey 440mike, you have to come up to Anoka this summer on Satuurday nights, we have a couple of 1st gens up here..

[hatersaurusrex]

A 1st Gen is the only kind of Charger I've ever actually seen randomly going down the road.   I used to live near a guy with a '68 but it never moved from the driveway, and I've seen various other styles for sale somewhere or at Mopar shows, but only ever passed that lone first gen in traffic, and that was 20 years ago in Clarksville TN.   It was dark blue... anyone here know the car?

I can't take out my garbage without tripping over a three Mustangs and Camaro.

[440mike]

Hey Flatback, I will be up there as will my 2 buddys that bought the others as they both live very close in Champlin and I am down in Burnsville. Each of them have other cars they have brought, one is a copper 64 polara and the other is a orange 66 coronet.  So you will have to be on the lookout for the 3 of us next june when it starts up again! 
How do you like the weather we are having now!

[A383Wing]

I got 2 first gens and 1 second gen in my garage...anyone can come over anytime and see them

[FlatbackFanatic]

Can't wait to see you guys. This weather really sux!!! Can't wait for the weather to get warmer, I have alot to do before spring.

[Musicman]

I had the only "67" in the state for a while there... There's a few of them out there now however. I've seen a few 66's at the shows in the last few years, but I still haven't come across any 67's, let alone a vinyl topped 67 like mine.

[UH60L]

In all the time I have owned mine (since June 2004), I think I have only ever seen one or two other '69s.  There are a few '68s around, and several third gens, even a few first gens.  I know of a couple '70s that are around at shows pretty regular and usually have some show up at the local mopar show.

Even a real daytona and clone daytona in the area.

But very rarely do you just see a '69 charger driving around here other than mine (and mine has been under construction and off the road since late 2008...).  I've seen a couple at shows, but that's about it, and they weren't local.

[UH60L]

And before any smart alecs start spouting off, no, it has nothing to do with any tv show.  Less than 1 percent of all '68s and '69s.  Less than 1 percent, nuff said

[TruckDriver]

I have not seen a Daytona or even a Daytona clone in person in a easy 30 years. I remember growing up, there used to be a grey metallic Daytona with a black stripe in town but last I heard years ago, it was put in a barn. Was a 4spd/console car too.

In fact, the last Daytona I saw I person is the one owned by maxwellwedge (in the photos below) and used to be owned by Doug S from Wisconsin, and used to be a show car. The bottom photo was taken in Milwaukee, Wi at the World Of Wheels car show, around 1980 or so (Doug would know for sure). There was also a all black Daytona at this same show that I got a photo of too.

[41husk]

Well, you never can see to many wing cars.

[440mike]

Yes Flatback it will be nice to meet up with you this summer, as well as have another first gen to cruise with!  I have way to much to do before spring as well!   Trying to finish my bro-in-laws 66 GTO, then onto the motor swap in mine I hope!  Otherwise I'll have to make due with the 383 for the summer     I did find a guy through my job who along with his Dad has about 12 first gens, from very nice drivers to total projects and loads of extra parts!

[FlatbackFanatic]

wow, 12 of them...cool!!
