E-body bashing?

[DeltaV]

They were talking about the Dynacorn replacement Challenger bodies in the other thread. As far as I know,they only built the one prototype body,and never built any to sell to the public. Does anyone know of anyone buying one,or seen one in person?

Here's one a guy bought in 2019.

Wow thats cool to see,it's like getting a body in white from Mopar!

First of all, I love the E bodies. I think they are an absolutely beautiful car and I would like to get one again. Funny story though, when I was a kid my first car was a 66 GTO. What a great car it was, very solid and drove great, super reliable year around (yes winter too with studded snow tires). Then I sold it and bought a 70 Challenger. OMG, it was terrible compared to the GTO, cheaply made, tin can and lots of reliability problems. It just seemed so cheap compared to the GTO, so I only kept it a few months and then sold it and bought a 68 GTO. Again the 68 was very solid like the 66. Funny thing is now I want an E body again.

I agree, I think ma mopar was trying to play catch up with GMs camero/firebird but by the time they got into production, GM already moved on to the 2nd gen.

My high school car was a '66 GTO. 389 Muncie M21 4-speed. I beat the crap out of that car. GTO Was my calling. Until I saw and bought a '69 GTX. I believe a better car. And never looked back to Pontiac. On my 2nd '69 GTX. Same color, 440 performance option. Same 4-speed. But does have a bit of different personality.

P.S. The most common question/talking point I get? Is ne having to explain the difference between a GTO and a GTX. Lol. Which doesn't bother me a bit.

I'm a member on FBBO, FABO, FEBO, FCBO, and the one for f bodies. I have owned all of these body style and, currently have an E body and an A body (pictured below). We also have a newer Challenger.

As far as the sites go I believe a lot of us are on a couple of these forums (cross contamination)...lol. I spend most my time on FBBO and FABO as they seem to have the most traffic and always something new to read.

Yeah, I often wish they were combined into one site. Obviously there are things particular to each body style, but so many parts and discussions are relevant to all - like engines, transmissions, etc.

Depends on How much Grunt is under the hood and can ya get it into the ground, Our "B" - normal aspirated- only 689/675 but will do 1.46 60ft. times (at the track of course).

Need to get it dyno’d this year estimated is give or take 900hp at the crack. 15psi boost, Teflon stripped 8-71, big cam, gear drive, roller everything, ported heads etc etc

raced heavily in the ‘80s but has been completely redone since. Never been down the track in 30+ years, gonna get it certed and do some test and tunes this year, maybe race it in Pro Stick in coming years if I am able to keep the car… I need to either find a bunch of money or sell the car in a year or so family wants an addition built on the shitty old house and new cabinets and furniture.

can’t afford to blow it up but if I can keep the car I’ll throw nitrous at it and convert it to E85. Right now it’s pinging hard running on pump gas shell ethonol free Vpower. Took a bunch of timing out so it ain’t that bad and the MSD boost retard helps a ton.
