1971 Dodge Charger R/T or 1970 Dodge Coronet R/T?

[NateCharger]

Would you sell/trade your great running 1971 Charger R/T for a 1970 Coronet R/T, in pieces. Just curious what you all believe is the better investment. I love my Charger, but I have always wanted a 70' Coronet R/T. Everything I see online says that it is worth less than my Charger though, how come?

Oh God no!!!!

[skip68]

Nope.   

[NateCharger]

How come? Are Coronets not that desirable? My 71' is my first Mopar, so I'm new to the scene...

[moparstuart]

i would in a heart beat  , love 70 coronets

[Dino]

if they were both in similar conditons, probably yes but not in pieces no.

I think they're both lousy investments though.  There's much better things to invest in.

[NateCharger]

Both 4 barrel automatics, numbers matching. My car is pretty close to rust free, the Coronet needs a trunk pan...

welcome to the site 

depends who you talk to     there are a few 70 coronet hater's on this site and at least one has already had his say  

  I'd keep the charger but like you I've always wanted a 70 super bee      

worth about the same. if your rt is running its no contest a running charger as opposed to a rt coronet in pieces  

                      what colour combo is your rt ?    pics we love pics 

             stick to the charger until a complete running coronet rt / super bee  comes up and then jump  on it  

[Patronus]

If you have skills the Coronet is the way to go. Prob not worth it if it's in parts though.
I too love the '70 Coronets. I got plans..

[Dino]

Plans you say?  Alright, come on, spil the beans.   

[JB400]

Both are great cars, but a running, driving car is worth more than one in pieces.  However, if there was enough money going along with that Coronet, I could be persuaded to make that change.  But, I'm one that would rather drive one than have to build one.  What about you?

[Scaregrabber]

Never. No better driving muscle era Mopar than a 71 or 72 B-body.

Cars are generally not good investments.  People need to stop looking at these cars as if they're rolling goldmines...

My thoughts exactly.

I guess "investment" was not the right word. I am in a good position on my Charger, so I would hate to go backwards. I'm guessing I'm not the only one that keeps an eye on what these cars are selling for, that's how I stumbled across this Coronet

[polywideblock]

so how about some pics or at least a description , love 71 rt's 

[GOTWING]

I would need pictures to make a decision, I love both cars in general. 

[DAY CLONA]

i would in a heart beat  , love 70 coronets

agreed...

[tan top]

 that's the other guys said  ,       , need to see pictures etc 

[NateCharger]

Here is my 71' Charger R/T, original paint and metal, stripe delete car. Runs GREAT! Spare 440 in it, numbers matching motor on an engine stand, in need of a rebuild...

[NateCharger]

1970 Dodge Coronet R/T, numbers matching motor and tranny rebuilt, but not in car. Again, needs full trunk pan.

[GOTWING]

I would keep the Charger less the rims  sorry         

[Derwud]

Love 70 Coronets, how much out right for the car? The thing the scares me with 70 B bodies, Fenders and Grilles. Right front fender looks beat and can't see Grilles.

[Daytona R/T SE]

That coronet is a piece of junk compared to your Charger.

The guy is trying to screw you.

HARD.

[NateCharger]

He is asking $15k for it. My car just needs a dash pad and paint. My car has got to be worth more than that...
