Most pathetic muscle car design transformations

[Ripsnort]

Post what you describe what is the most pathetic design transformations in a muscle car.  My vote goes to;

Dodge Challenger.

1970:





1978;

[ZetaNine]

the 2009 model has made up for it.

They screwed up nearly everything in the ugly 80's.  Most of the 70's cars took a style drop from the 60's as well.

the mustang II was horrid.....



1967



1974

Might as well throw the Roadrunner, GTX, Charger and all the other big Mopar models in there too.  

Cuda went out in style though.

My first car, the 1970 Plymouth Duster was pretty severely castrated...

1971

Any car made between 1974-1978 would fall in this category...

I think that late 70's 80's blocky style looks horrid on everything, much less remakes.



As for some modern cars, I think they are extremely well done.  Like the Mustang GT, Charger, Challenger, Camaro...

Was just thinking... with the price of oil rising with no end in sight, do you all think we'll be in for another "80s style" redesign of all our production vehicles ?

[lasersailor184]

We better not.  I'll be able to purchase my first real car in the next few years.  If they start pumping out those bricks I will have to buy used.

I still drive a 72 duster, with a slant 6.

That doesn't fall in the 1974-1978 category, that was made in the '80s
However they are re-making it, but with no visual changes, that has been announced anyways.
