Most loved the Charger, but My best friend had the Challenger. His was black, but it was sweet.

For what it's worth.

My very first new car in 1976 ... this car got more ass than a toilet seat.

I'm one of those rare people that prefer style and luxury instead of high performance and over-priced window stickers.

Except that the 911 has amazing style.

I had a 1969 Electra 225. Looked just like this one.

Talk about a land yacht. Loved that car. All 2.4 MPG of it!

Ah! That beautiful green of the past!

C'mon now! 2.4 mpg?

I owned two ‘68s. One a 440 RT automatic. Blue with black top and interior. Great car.

I learned to drive in a 73 225,,, if you can drive one of those you can drive anything,,

I had the '71

Some idiot ran a Red Light and therefore I hit him, totally ruined the frontend.
Totalled.

I would LOVE to still have that Machine.

The engine was a 434-4 427 CU engine. Had a 22-gallon tank and it may have been slightly better than 2.4, but not by much.

lol

My brother took Mine into Calaveras Canyon (South East SF Bay Area - Milpitas) and flipped the thing end for end into a creek. We towed it home, pulled the plugs, cranked a few times and it started right up. Can't beat that slant 6.

Nice Cragars! At least it wasn't the green.

When I got on my 440, I could watch the gas gauge drop.

Station Wagons get a bad rap. Mini-vans and the so-called "SUV's" which are really min-vans are all actually tall station wagons.

Dodge had a good one this century:

2005 Dodge Magnum. Like a Charger, but with room to carry your shit.

Yep, used to measure those engines by the number of stations it could pass. lol

I love that car. A buddy had one back in the day. Though I always wanted a mid70s Triumph TR6.

My brother had the '68 RS Camero.

But his was a rootbeer brown.


He used to light a return spring on the four-barrel and it snapped on him. Ran him into a turn signal pole and totaled the whole front end. A crime against humanity that was.

Since we're wazing nastalgic, I had a 1969 Chevy Impala that I bought in 1984 for $200. I drove it for four years. I called it the Mayflower, because a couple of young puritans came across in it.

It finally died just when I had a job that allowed me to buy a VW Rabitt and make payments. I sold the Impala to the jumk man for $200, thinking I had gotten a free car for four years.

I had a 68 Plymouth road runner with a 383... very fast...

 

[Rambunctious]

Can't tell what that is, but I know it's MOPAR.

72 Cuda... I've always wanted one... just like that one....

If you're looking for actual 1970's style -- look no further

Built the year I graduated high school.

My father said it looked like an elephant sat on a Volkswagen.

I don't have the bank account for that one.
