It's never too late to kick your crack addiction...
I know right.
While My personal favorite Charger is a 2nd Generation,... '69 my fav...like MBailey's or this:

When I was a little boy, this 71 Charger was the sexiest thing on TV, and winning everything in site:

Fell in love with the Charger early, and have always wanted a '71 sinse. '71 was a year of change throughout all the US builders, and the beginning of the end of the Muscle Car era. When you consider the Charger effectively died in '74, I wouldn't consider the 3rd Generation model ruined, by any means, especially as compared to the Chargers contemporaires for the 70's.
But, everyone has their opinions. That's what makes classics...classics.
