The 68-70 Chargers will always be my favorite.

I owned a 69 Charger R/T from 1982 until 2002. I bought it from the original owner. In 1990 I totally FULLY restored it. I loved that car to no end but sadly, I had to let it go on account of taking care of my young kids. I'm a tough old guy but i feel like crying just talking/thinking about it 😢
-
'68, '69, '70s, nothing else matters.
-
Some day I'll have a 68 charger. I did have an 87 Charger GLHS. I was 18 and it was my first new car. I did run a 14.86 at Englishtown NJ with it. Not bad for the day.
-
Awesome! Takes me back! I had a 1967 Charger, it had a 383 automatic with 4 bucket seats! I loved that car!
-
The 1969 Dodge Charger has been my dream car ever since I first saw the Dukes of Hazzard as a 10 year old. I'm 54 and it's still my dream car. A four door Charger is just an abomination to the name no matter how much horsepower it has. Same goes for an EV Charger.

When the Dukes of Hazzard tv show came out My first car in 1979 was a 1969 Charger when I was 16. My auto shop teacher sold it to me for 200 bucks just to piss off his son for getting to many tickets street racing. Then at 17, I bought a 1970 Charger then at 18 a 1971 Charger, then a 1972 and then a 1973 Duster with a 400 Magnum. Thank you Mr. Farris for selling me my first Dodge. MOPAR STILL RULES THE STREETS.

Goldberg, man,i remember being a kid and getting excited as hell every time you slid into the ring and speared someone anddidnt say a word. then your first line ever was "who's next" . now at 40 you got a car collection that is most men's wet dream. my guy, much respect. id give anything to hang out with you over any other celebrity by a Texas mile. from one gear head to another, keep killing that skinny pedal

Nice car better drive than new junk

69 is my favorite

Making icons into family cars. Four doors on Wranglers just look wrong to me. Mustang Mach-E? Don't get me started. How long before the Challenger gets more doors and cupholders? When will we see an El Camino minivan? At least Porsche had the decency to call it a Panamera and not 911+2. They may be good cars in their own right, but just call them something else. Chargers should be coupes, rear wheel drive, and run on gas. At least that's what I think.

Chrysler Australia made Valiant 4 door Sedan and Station Wagon from (1962 - 1980). Chrysler Charger from (1971 - 197. Chrysler Regal (1976 - 1980) and a Dodge Utility. The Regal and the Charger we're a similar body shape as the Charger like the General Lee

The "Bullitt" car chase put the Charger at the head of the pack.

2011-2014 are widely agreed to be the best looking year's for charger...
-
Why are the new Chargers are not 2 doors?

Back then, l had a few hot Pony Cars. A 69 428 cj Mach 1 Mustang only got 9.5 mpg combined average. Nobody loved my car more than my Sunoco (I had to use Sunoco 260) Gas Dealer. We got to see a lot of each other. (Every 2nd day)😂
