Muscle/Pony Car Porn Poll

[Marquis_Rex]

The late sixties was a special period for American cars, especially when it came to styling.
So out of the following, which is your favourite muscle car, mainly on the basis of styling....?

1970 Dodge Challenger


1969 Ford Mustang


1967 Pontiac GTO

1969 Pontiac GTO

1967 Chevy Camaro


1969 Dodge Charger

Nice to see the GTO 'get some love' too.
I almost got one of those. This is all very interesting- to see how many people agree when it comes to something as subjective as styling!
I would have expected the Charger to get more hits.
Chargers seem to be cheaper than Challengers over here and Goats are even cheaper, now I'm understanding why I guess.....

Chargers are better to drive than Challengers, the GTO is better than both, but the Charger is one of the ultimate examples of muscle cars from back then, especially in 440 guise, the Hemi was an awesome motor but high maintenance, the 440 just got on with it and was not far behine in performance, close enough that a well cared for one would show the Hemi the way home, a well tuned Hemi however was a different animal altogether.

Best all rounder may have been the Chally T/A though, 340 small block, 6 pack carb set up, tough 4 speed etc, fantastic car.

I found the Charger a bit more soggy than the Challenger.

Actually. To the OP.

Don't you like Plymouth?

I do, but I didn't think about it when I was posting the poll.
I probably wouldn't have considered a Cuda over a Challenger.
However I love the GTX and Road Runner, even the 1970s one with the funny chrome mouth bumper!

[Marquis_Rex]

Bump for the morning crew!

Chuffed that Challenger is coming out on top so far!

[Marquis_Rex]

My Fellow Mopar nuts, we're in danger of losing out to Henrys evil empire.
It is time to redress the balance!

Yuck- that's the 'sad mouth' one. But at least they transplanted a big block and it is cheap and it doesnt have the nasty gills.

If you need someone to bring it to a coast give me a shout- I charge reasonable rates

I missed the Mopar nationals over here in Ohio and probably will miss the Mopar get together at Carlisle (PA) also unfortunately. I MAY be able to be there for the Woodward Dream cruise in Michigan- I'll try to take some pics.
