Bid to 3.5 mil. Nuff said

I never will get why people like them.. when i was a kid i used to see them all over the place here and didn't get it then either.

It’s funny that the Superbird comes up as Iconic. Back in the day, they couldn’t sell any but today it is iconic. What production car had a wing like that?

So far it seems like the 68 or 69 roadrunner is the most voted Iconic followed by the 68 charger!

I was thinking the General Lee myself which nobody has mentioned yet.

I suppose this has been asked before, but I couldn’t find it. I’m wondering which particular model and year of all the Mopar’s is the most iconic. The big variable in this question is what does it mean to be iconic I suppose. Anyways, interested in knowing your thoughts, let’s keep it to B-Bodies?

I think this get splits between Mopar enthusiasts, and the general public. The General Lee is likely the most recognized Mopar B body to those not closely involved with them. To active enthusiasts, such as the members on this site, I think the NASCAR roots enter the equation. The Hemi cars of all configurations carry additional cachet because of their role in Chrysler's racing dominance, and the wing cars represent the top of that heap. The Road Runner, with a 383, was the path for the average joe to get a small taste of that witch's brew, with a car that was user friendly as a daily driver.

Didn’t Hollywood make the cars iconic. I’m sure I don’t have to list them. Kim

Good point I was thinking the same thing. The general public is one thing and Chrysler guys are another. The general Lee was iconic because everyone saw it. A 67 Belvedere with a 426 is something only Chrysler guys would consider iconic.

Exactly. To me I think that 1966 Street Hemi is super iconic. I mean what else was sitting on a showroom floor in fall 1965 with a dang race engine in it with no thought at all given to flashy appearance? Chrysler built them so they could race them and each one sold was a PITA for servicing and warranty claims.
However iconic in the eyes of the general public is a totally different thing.

Any Mopar that runs good and seldom breaks down!!

For me, the 70 Charger. Love the wrap around front bumper!

1971 roadrunner

For the younger crowd this is the beast.

 

[Belvedere408]

I'm 44, my personal favorite car is a 70 Roadrunner. Most iconic would be 68 Charger.

I'm kinda' partial to the 64 Dodge's.
