We ain't gonna catch em in that dog pile Chevy,it takes a Mopar to catch a Mopar!

This is no doubt going to send the 2nd Gen Charger guys into a rage

if you ever start predicting stocks, let me know

 

[chargervert]

I always thought the second gen Charger felt like a big car
A couple summers ago I started gathering parts to build another car like the 73 I once had
So when I had 2 cars running one day I lined them up beside each other
Made the 73 look wider than the 69
It was just a bit larger all the way aroundView attachment 1568093View attachment 1568094View attachment 1568095View attachment 1568096

It's like your hot girlfriends chubby younger sister!

Here is a reality comparison.

Who like blondes? Brunettes? Jet black?

Skinny as a rail? Some meat on the bone? Full figured and healthy?

So what did tv tell you is the hottest babe while you were growing up? Farrah? Loni? Linda? You know my gen now! Maybe it was Rochelle? Or possibly Marilyn? For you old f***s! ;) Can’t name a bunch younger. Valerie?

If you are not in a car for money, the body style is pure preference. Investment is another game altogether.

You don’t have to like my wife. I don’t care. I love her. She is a late 70!

I was in this before any of them were worth money! Sometimes I really miss those days. We are all priced out of our own hobby these days!

 

[chargervert]

Twice!

 

[eldubb440]

Twice!

3 times, rookie!

 

[chargervert]

We'll walk down there and hit them all!

Who like blondes? Brunettes? Jet black?

Yes, and redheads.

Skinny as a rail? Some meat on the bone? Full figured and healthy?

Yes.

Grown on you like some kind of lip fungus they ain't identified yet? As far as Aerodynamics are concerned according to the G series wind tunnel testing report,the 71 B body Dodge in Daytona trim,was 3 MPH slower on top end than the 69 Daytona!

The '69 Daytona was purportedly 1 to 3 MPH faster than the '70 Superbird too.

The Plymouth Superbird Was Slower than the Dodge Charger Daytona

I'll take one of each please along with a '69 Charger 500.

Do you know what’s worse than listening to Chevy and Ford guys whining about Mopars? Mopar guys whining about other Mopars. I’ve never seen a more jealous crowd in my life than the Mopar community, though not every Mopar owner is like that you won’t see them stick together like Chevy and Ford guys do. I’ve never seen feelings get hurt like I have in my life when it comes to the Mopar crowd, especially when they think another Mopar looks better than yours and this is exactly what this thread is about. Just a bunch people whining cause they know the 2nd gen Chargers are getting a lot of attention these days and your poor little car isn’t. Whoopty doo! Go cry me a river!!!

And you just did that. Exactly what you're complaining about. Seems to me everyone's talking about our cars and their preferences.

Seems like the 2G Charger sportsroof looks like a Pontiac as well. Although Chryco took a design and elevated it into a classic. And those taillamps ? Dos that mean my 70 RR looks like a Pontiac also ? Styling cues were routinely borrowed and sculpted into designs by the various manufacturers.

The front end looks like a Pontiac.

No complaints here. Just pointing out the obvious “jealousy”

Dos that mean my 70 RR looks like a Pontiac also ?

On occasion would note a little resemblance of the back of the ’70 RR to the ’67 GTO. Having a ’67 in my youth, could be why they are two of the cars on my favorite list. MO, both are – stellar in so many ways.

 

[chargervert]

All these designers would go from working for one manufacturer to another, and took their drawings with them. You would not think Chevrolet would let the guy who designed the iconic 63 split window Stingray leave but they did,and he would later go on to design the 69 Mach 1 Mustang.

I don't see that. You think some people here are jealous 'cause YOU have a Charger ? I think people like the cars they prefer.

 

[chargervert]

This all started with the OP taking shots at second generation Chargers. That's like drawing a mustache on the Mona Lisa.

 

[RemCharger]

But he did mention the " group" , meaning the 71-74 gang..
They didn't post it in the gen2 group.

 

[eldubb440]

chargers are the camaro/mustang of B bodies anyway .........

chargers are like a-holes, everybody's got one

and they all look alike to me
