Not a big fan of 'em overall, but I do like the '74 Do ge Monaco. It's got a lot of pickup.

Yeah, but the cigarette lighters are rubbish.

I've owned one of each in the 80's, both 360 cars both pretty slow the Plymouth got better when the 340 was installed, captures the 70's vibe perfectly with the factory plastic add on stuff and tape stripes

Ah , the ill-fated F-bodies . What's really *interesting* about the F-body Road Runner (relegated to a package option after the 1975 model year)  in its for two years is that the top engine was the E57 two barrel 360 ! Even the 1976 Duster (and Dart Sport) had a 220hp E58 360 with true dual exhaust --- sans catalytic converters ! Certainly that poached some sales from the F-bodies...

...until the A-bodies were discontinued by mid-1976 .

I had a '77 Aspen SE like this one...t-tops and 360 V-8:

I liked the performance, (as late 70's standards go), and the ride, but I can't call it my best MOPAR, as it made several trips to the dealership for various "lemon" issues.

Do Jeeps count as Mopar? I've had a few of those. 1990 YJ Islander, 1993 XJ Sport, 2005 TJ SPort, 2008 JK Sahara, 2015 JKU Sahara. This is the 2015. I miss it. Want another one.

Only one true Mopar has been in my garage though. I kinda miss it.

As for overall fav Mopar?

Charger Daytona. Hands down the only muscle car I've ever truly been excited about. I like most cars from that era, but this is the one that gets me fired up.

And how could a favourite mopar be anything but Christine? Just don't talk bad about her.

A pair of Plymouth Breezes... reliable little buggers and peppy with the 2.4 engine.  We got over 200,000 out of each of them.

69 Super Bee with the Ramcharger hood and optional side scoops in Hemi orange. Second place is a 72 GTX in black with the Air Grabber hood. Both with 4 speeds, of course.

I remember seeing Color Me Gone race at the Winter Nationals many many moons ago. If ever a race car had a proper name it was this one. Great driver and machine "was poetry in motion" as they say. 

I saw that car at the Chrysler Museum back in 2002.................................................

This is a unique car I recently saw at Carlisle. 64 with a Max wedge, but what is interesting, is the rust and dings are intentional. The rust is painted, and cleared over. Under the hood is show quality, as you can see. Hands down, one of the coolest Mopars I’ve seen.

I used to get pulled over in my Superbee all the time by these. A South Dakota State Trooper pulled me over just to look at my car, and then he popped his hood to show us his 440 Interceptor.
