Most Wanted Classic Cars: Dodge Charger (Part 2)
Posted by Steve White on Jul 22, 2009
The third generation Dodge Charger was produced from 1971 to 1974. This new car sported a split grille with hidden or exposed headlights, a semi-fastback rear window, and a ducktail spoiler. The models of this generation included the basic Charger in coupe and hardtop styles, the Charger 500, the 500 SE, the Super Bee, and the top-of-the-line R/T. The basic Charger featured a 225 cid Slant 6-cylinder engine with 145 hp, as well as the optional 318 cid V8 with 230 hp. Engine options for the Super Bee included the standard 383 cid V8 engine with 275 hp, the 440 Magnum with 370 hp, 440 Six Pack with 385 hp, and the 426 Hemi with 425 hp. The Charger R/T had the 440 Magnum as standard engine, and the Six Pack and Hemi as options.
The fourth generation Charger (1975-1978) was designed after the Chrysler Cordoba, and it was called the Charger SE. A few engine options were available for this new model, including the 318 cid LA V8 engine, the standard 360 cid small block, and the 400 cid big block. In the year 1976, three other models were made available, and they were the basic Charger, Charger Sport, and Charger Daytona. Two years later, the Dodge Magnum was brought in to replace the Charger. The Dodge Charger was reintroduced in 2006 as a full-size car.
Today, the Dodge Chargers of the late 1960s and early 1970s are regarded as some of the most desirable American classic cars. Classic car collectors are particularly interested in the second generation Charger, which was produced from 1968 to 1970.
