i have a 70 roadrunner, thinking about trading it for a 68 charger. just a little undecided. my first car was a 69 charger and i wish i had it back. but my roaadrunner is nice project also. what do you guys think ? stuck between two b bodies
 
i have a 70 RR also and i wouldnt trade it for the world....given the chance to buy a 68 charger...i would jump on it and keep them both. i wouldn't trade the RR. its the most sought after year.
 
71 'cuda, 68 charger, 70 rr are my favorites in that order. I understand your dilemma. Would be tough call for me too. I am with prop and tpodwdog....get both!

Assuming you can't afford that or just don't have the room.... you mentioned project on the RR. The charger a project too?

Questions I would ask myself and things to consider are:

1- Production numbers of the charger in 68 were approx 3x that of the 70rr.
2- Do you intend to restore original or modify it?
3- If original what engines/trans/options were on both?
4- Numbers line up for both, one or neither?
5- rr is a BB car for sure...The charger could have even been a 6cyl or 318 car!
6- They the same in terms of project progression and usable OE parts etc?
7- Is it worth all the moving required to make the trade?

All things being equal....take the one you want the most.

I'll make this easy for you. KEEP THE ROAD RUNNER...you know what you have.
 
the 68 was the first year for the new styling. the 70 is a one year only body style.you are so vague in the descriptions of both and you have no pics of either, that you comin here asking for help deciding with virtually no information is redundant. ok take the charger , because it has ,er uh , dont know. maybe you should keep the roadrunner because, uh well, dunno. are you really going to come on here and ask members to make a decision like that for you? no information to work with AT ALL. no pictures showing anyone what you are considering AT ALL. your response "boy, ur alot of help" was such a rude thing to say to someone that is 100% correct. its your car do what ever the hell you want with it. you havent given anyone one ounce of information to even begin to make a decision for you.

and one more thing. i have been a mopar man since my first car ! and ill always have one in my garage ! dont really care for your camaro comment !
 
im sorry to propwash if you took me to be rude. i wasnt trying to be. my reply was in a joking manner
 
thank you, and youre rite. i know what i have and mayb i should just keep roadrunner. its just 69 charger was my first car and i know its a 68 but it sure brought backs some memeries.
 
i wasnt trying to be an *** and i edited my post. but without any pics of what you are considering then how can you expect to get any kind of educated and experienced response. if you just want to know what the general consensus is as to the "popularity" of a 70RR to 68 charger then make it a poll. if you got the cash ,just buy the charger. if you dont, then you have to decide which one you like best, and which one you would rather dump your money and time into.
 
thank you super 77se. i have 70 roadrunner and a 68 coronet/super bee clone now, if i bought another car i would problabley be locked out of the house. lol i should just keep the roadrunner. sure do love those chargers thou
 
70 RR or 68 Charger

Go with the 68 Charger! Much more desirable car. I just scored a 68 Charger R/T all original no rust highly optioned car, 1 repaint in its life. 440 auto on the column, buddy seat, A/C, PW, PS, PDB, power antenna, rear window defroster, sweet car.
