favorite and least favorite mopar

Anything between '55 to '74 are favourites. Can't beat engineering-with-style.

Least favourites.... anything in the mid to late seventies with Corinthian leather and of course K-cars. With the exception of the GLHS.....

Again there are exceptions, like the seventies trucks and police cars equipped with the smallblock E58 360.

K cars...what a horrendous era! We had this as a "choice" for our company cars; yeah company was cheap. My co-worker made the mistake of ordering one and had to drive up a hill going home from work every day...he would lose speed even flooring it to get the hill! Cars behind would occasionally honk at him. Another guy ordered one and the driver's door came unhinged on a trip. Glad I had ordered an Olds Firenza at least it had some pick up...

Urban Legend has it the Chrysler engineers were forced to take Quaaludes to come up with a new car model fast to save the fledging company back when...they came up with the K-Car. "If I had a million dollars..."

Depends on whose side of story You adhere to. In my bible He & His crew are building on of the Very Finest jobs of craftsmanship ever that certain People have too much authenticity issue with.

 

[Bladecutter]

no need for bashing everyone is entitled to an opinion stick to your guns that leaves more of the desirable one for the rest of us
3rd gens handle better, have more desirable options and just look " bad *** " in any form you want to take them

I'm not sure what 3rd gen is, but I handed a CHP in an 82 Mopar interceptor His *** one night on Hwy One Shoreline north of Golden Gate Bridge in my bone stock 318 2 bbl 69 Coronet 500....not even a front sway bar. Just a nose dive & bias Pro Track 60 series rubber,,,,,cept I shredded a rear tyre just days before & put on a Pirelli CN-36 70 series radial.
The 66 - 70 B platform IMO is by leaps the best handling. My 68 318 post/bench Coronet 440 bone stocker was amazing in the twists. I had a 69 318 Charger also. I scored lots of late night kills with all 3, but the post was the ****.

The Hemi 'cuda is quite authentic. It's the 'other' 'cuda that stirred the hornet's nest.

Chrysler pioneered the small, front-drive car, that everybody copied/builds these days. I've had a half-dozen K-cars for beaters, and they were very reliable and cheap transportation. I beat the hell out of them, even jumping them on rolling hills property...and they just came back for more. They all died horrible deaths, at my hands. Only my 99 Caravan was a better beater.

We had a Fleet of K's. White with the maroon velour. Other than lack of power, they served their purpose. Had a 99 Caravan assigned to me at work. 250k. I begged them to let me keep it but was forced let it get retired. It lived a hard life, jumping curbs etc. Loved it. Comfortable too.

I had a business back then, we started with GM junk, then switched to a small fleet of K-cars which turned out to be wonderfully reliable... 250k on the clock was the norm, then we gave them away still running

Well I see my encounters with the fabled K are only one side of the story. I acquiesce.
