Since it's a Mopar thread:


Dodge will discontinue its Challenger and Charger muscle cars next year


Man. I've never owned either one, but that sucks.

Never liked the new Charger. It was a different style than the original ones. Wish I still had the one I had.

Twin of the one that I had except for the wheels.

Guessing it was worth it?

Great looking body style. I've never owned a Mopar performance car, but the '68-'70 Charger would be near the top of the list.

When the Super Bee came out with those ridiculously tall wings, it seemed only the Wealthy Ghetto Drug Dealers could afford them.

We used to joke that they got them so their kids could do chin-ups on them.

Thought it was an ugly vehicle in the day with the tall rear spoiler BUT going for great money today.

FEB 1, 2016

Remember back in December, when someone dragged forth a rusty, mossy, filthy, and disheveled 1969 Dodge Charger Daytona from a barn in Alabama? It was one of only 503 ever produced and only had 20,553 miles on the clock. But despite that rarity and low mileage, it only sold for half of its $180,000 asking price.

The seller listed the car with Mecum at a target price of $180,000, about the same as a brand-new Porsche 911 GT3 RS that runs and doesn't have mushrooms growing between the seats. However, the barn-found Charger still sold for $90,000, a pretty decent price for such a rough example. For comparison, this pristine '69 Daytona with just 20 miles on the clock since a complete frame-off restoration pulled $195,000 at auction.

Dodge Chargers

They are basically the same, Grill is the major difference. Different wheels on the 1970. That said, I like the 1968 the best. It has the cleanest look.

That was in 1973 when the wife got everything including the gold mine and the husband got the shaft.
