Because we are on an all Mopar site.
Lets keep it Mopars and B bodies only please


I'll start.
Hard to pick one over the other. But it would be one or the other
1969 GTX convertible or 1970 Coronet RT convertible ( in FJ5 limelight only )
Preferably hemi car , OR extremely high optioned 440 car

There are many on my list, but one that comes to mind...

a '68 (or '69) Dart GTS

My Brothers used to own one just like this - and didn’t tell me he was going to sell it.

67 WS27 as long as it's not green, and preferably a 4 spd.
As long as I'm dreaming, blue w/white top and interior.
 
I own it. After a 52 year chase, and six previous GTXs, I captured the Dealer Demonstrator that started the journey when I test drove it as a 16 year old. Factory A/C car with all available options except a vinyl top and cruise control. The dealer's personal car for 15 years. The original owner's son passed all the original dealer documents to me when I acquired the car. For me personally, with my history, this one can't be topped. Shown parked at the selling dealership, photo taken on the 53rd anniversary of the test drive.

1969 Charger 500, but preferably with a hemi and 4 speed. Any stock exterior color. Any stock interior color, but NOT red.
 
Mine is within reach if I would just pull the trigger.
1970 Road Runner or same year GTX.
 
To fit the parameters of the post:
I'd special order a 1969 Charger 500 (the Aero one without the crazy) in Turquoise, with a floorshifted 727, a Dana, p/s, manual disc brakes and aftermarket air. A million dollar car.

On a less nuts scale: if I was to spend $100k on a car, it'd be a Trackhawk or the Dodge version. Rediculously Fast, comfortable, space for a GF and three GSD's. Everyday usable.
 
*a clean bodied, 1968 Barracuda Formula-S 383 4bbl 4 speed/fast back
like I had in my later 20's, I inherited from my uncle, probably in GG1 too
may be my last ever build, if I got one, don't have a bunch more in me
before it's a waste of my retirement/time & $$$

68 Barracuda Advert. #9 Formula S option.jpg


**a clean 1969 Charger 500, 440 or Hemi, Hemi 4 speed, Dana 60 car
**has been a bucket list car forever
but;
they are now priced out of my range, that I'm willing to pay for even a basket case now
I don't/won't want or need a basket case, rust bucket

69 Charger 500 Hemi #1 F8 green.jpg


I also love trucks, especially 1968-71 Dodge Trucks, shortbeds
a clean bodied, 1968-71 D100 shortbed sweptside so I could build,
my version of an "dude tribute", low & sleek, wider taller tires, QA1 ind. frt. suspension
or maybe even adapt a Challenger's front factory suspension/brakes to the truck frame
w/modern 392/6.4 hemi 6 speed Challenger/Charger drivetrain, w/ind. rear
maybe buy a wrecked Challenger/Charger for all the swap

69 D-100 Dude Edition 383cid 300hp - orange & black c-stripe LB.jpg


a clean bodied, 1968-71 W100 PowerWagon BB 4 speed, pref. shortbed w/Dana's
a real 4wd TRUCK, lifted & like 35" tires, nice wheels/a lil' bling, nice mild suspension mods
not a showboat, a real 4x4 truck

68 W-100 Power Wagon short bed custom silver.jpg


a clean bodied, 1968-69 Dart GTS 383, 4 speed pref. but would take an 727tf

68 Dart GTS Advert. #4.jpg


only real E-body, that I like
or a budget version :poke: of an AAR 'cuda, 340-6bbl, pref. 4 speed
any color except red or yellow

70 Cuda AAR b5 blue front qtr.jpg


a C-body, the 70 Chrysler 300 Hurst, convertible 440-Six Pack
70 Chrysler 300 Hurst Convertible #5 pass-side top up with Cragers.png



not any rust buckets
I'm not going that route ever again
been there done that, too many times, not anymore, it's a waste of time & $$
don't mind a repaint, lil' body repairs here & there, but no full resto crap
buy well, spend a lil' more up front
IMHFO, it ends up a way better project & with far less hassles/expense too

I like my Satellite a lot but if I ever buy another classic my preference is a B-body with a big block and 4 spd. I'd love to have a 67 GTX hemi 4-spd or even a 440 4-spd. Even though there's not a lot of differences between my Satellite and a GTX, there's just something about those 3 letters. If I came into Powerball lottery money, I'd look for a hemi Daytona or Superbird. Next in line would be a 70 GTX, maybe a 440-6.
 
71 340 Cuda....had one for many years and was dumb to sell it!
 
A Euro car was a Lotus Europa until I found out how slow they were. Another Euro car was a Volvo 1800ES wagon. For some reason, I liked them back then. I could only imagine a 340 in one! Anyways, lets move away from the early 70's.....lol
 
A Chrysler turbine car in green, with green interior and dog dish hub caps!
