In my case, I'd have a VERY hard time but I think the 72 Rallye would win out.  It's an original TB3 440 4-speed car with N96 (last known to be built that way).  The cool factor is just too high to ever let it go.  My wife's favorite is the 71 Super Bee... she'd get over it - I hope! :o

I love driving cool cars but at the end of the day it has to be reliable and not requiring much attention.

Out of my 1969 Charger, 1970 Coronet 500 and 1973 Duster, I'd chose my Charger anyday. The Duster may be completley roadworthy but I've had my Charger for way longer than the other two and it has too much sentimental value for me to ever get rid of it.

For me it would be real close between the Daytona clone and the convertible Challenger with the WannaBee being a close third :shruggy: Sure glad I don't have to choose :cheers:

I'm building my '68 to be my daily driver. A/C, cruise control, overdrive, Electronic Engine Management. I don't expect to care to drive anything else. If I couldn't have the '68 pickup, I'd have to get a trailer...

I'd go for drivability. Cool and fast don't count for much in a daily driver and rarity becomes a liability when exposed to daily traffic.

Nah, driveability is over rated.
Cool wins out in my opinion.

Driveability is an added bonus.
I'd still take her out even if she wasn't....

I'm going for the "cool" daily driver. That is why I am converting mine to RHD, so I can drive it and not worry about sitting on the wrong side of the car.

Darkman I really don't wanna say you'll regret it one day but.........

Conversion is overdone in this country imo
Takes only a coupla hundred miles to get accustomed to it.

That's fine and your opinion.

I know what I need to do to get the car registered in SA, I will not go into it again, but it WILL be converted

between the 69 charger and the 68 gtx, it would be the charger. the gtx is on the slate to be a street fighter, but I'm getting older.

It would be rarity that would win out in my choice, but then I would have to decide on which one is truly the rarest one in my set.  Would I go by pure production numbers, numbers left, oddest optioned or what?  Great.... now I will have to ponder that all night while sleeping...... :scratchchin:

I'm going through this right now - and it really sucks.  I've killed my self deciding which one to sell, but as my post "Ones got to go!".   I chose cool on this post.    :shruggy:

Ahh, I think it would be an easy choice between the Daytona or Charger 500... Plus, my little princess would disown Daddy.... She still thanks me for the People's Choice trophy I gave her.........

I've driven the HemiCharger probably 12-15,000 miles in 12 years, and driven the Daytona a big fat goose-egg in the nearly 8 years I've owned it...

Even still, the R/T would have to go if I had to choose one, no doubt. 

BTW, Julie's not the only one 'round here that would disown Troy if he got rid of his Daytona without a suitable Daytona to replace it   :lol:

Drove the Charger last weekend 1000+ miles throught the Mountains pulling a trailier, ran the AC half the time, got 15 mpg and she never skipped a beat.  How cool is that?

But if I could only have one car for my daily driver it would be my 300C

I'm looking forward to your story, with photos, of course.  ;)
