Greg Myers Posted July 12, 2013 Share Posted July 12, 2013 (edited) This came to me while the board was down. So what's first ? ( I know, Who's on first) The first charger, 1966-1967 ? I'm thinking the Dukes era ( sorry Danno) 1968-1970. Or is it the later 1971-1974 ? I'm reluctant to include the last years 1975-1978 Cordoba cars. But we must include the Shelby's 1983-1987.

Blown03SVT Posted July 12, 2013 Share Posted July 12, 2013 Actually probably because I see so many of them in my daily commute, I think of the 4 door Chargers. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Harry P. Posted July 12, 2013 Share Posted July 12, 2013 When I think "Charger," I think of the '68-'69 models. Then the '66-'67s... then the early '70s models... then nothing. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Project510 Posted July 12, 2013 Share Posted July 12, 2013 I always think of Dukes first, because I loved the show as a kid, and at the time my mom had a 71. The first car I ever wanted! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shelby 427 1965 Posted July 12, 2013 Share Posted July 12, 2013 I always think '68 as it's my favourite, then I think '69. Don't usually think about the rest. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Greg Myers Posted July 12, 2013 Author Share Posted July 12, 2013 Actually probably because I see so many of them in my daily commute, I think of the 4 door Chargers. Forgot all about them. Goes to show what a memorable design it is ? I do like the last version with the side coves, needed those all along. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Blown03SVT Posted July 12, 2013 Share Posted July 12, 2013 I agree Greg, breaks up the slab sidedness of the car and actually does make it a bit sleeker. It's actually a good looking car in SRT form... for a "more door". Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sjordan2 Posted July 12, 2013 Share Posted July 12, 2013 Here's Wikipedia's list... Charger models[edit] The three main iterations of Dodge Chargers were a mid-sized (B-body) two-door car from 1966 to 1978, a subcompact (L-body) car from 1983 to 1987, and the (LX and LD) full-sizedplatform four-door sedans built since 2006. The name was also carried by a 1999 concept car that differed substantially from the Charger eventually placed into production for the 2006 model year. A similar name, the Ramcharger, was used for the truck-based vehicle. The name Charger was also used in Brazil as performance model based on the Dar(A-Body) between 1970 and 1980.

That may be an improvement over the previous model, but it's still not a Charger. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

lordairgtar Posted July 12, 2013 Share Posted July 12, 2013 (edited) A 71 Charger was near and dear to me when I was about twenty. Not my car, but I thought it was the sleekest thing. A friend owned it. The one I did own, and wish I could find another was the 84 Charger Turismo with the four headlight front grille. The car was a stormer in autocross. It was the second front wheel drive car I ever owned, the first was a 73 Eldorado convertible. Worlds apart. BTW, my Mom had the identical Plymouth Duster Turismo.

1972coronet Posted July 13, 2013 Share Posted July 13, 2013 1968 Charger , in triple black . Why ? Because of Bullitt ! I saw it on t.v. when I was probably 4 years old , so that means 1974 . If I "had" to choose a Charger or two for a personal collection : - 1968 R/T (Hemi / Auto / 3.23 Sure Grip) - 1971 Super Bee (340 / 4-speed / 3.23 Sure Grip) - 1972 Rallye (440 Six Pack / Auto / 3.55) - 2013 "A38" ( Hemi , of course ) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
