Title: Vinnie this one's for you (Mopar Inside)

I thought I'd post a picture of my run-in with the Duke boys:

This was a month or so ago in Nashville at Cooters Garage.  It's a neat little store/museum and actually owned by the guy that played Cooter in the show.

LOVE IT !!! I would not be shamed to get naked and roll all over a Charger.......alone of course.LOL. I have always loved the '68 to '70 Chargers (especially the '70). Dodge got all their stuff perfect on them.

The '68-70 Chargers perfected the pen 15e-bottle shape thing.  Chargers are probably my favorite Mopar...but as cool as the General Lee is, I would rather have a Charger in black.  I think that's their best color:

I'd take a 71 Roadrunner/GTX over that personally. I just love the front end, its so perfect.

I have always like challengers better than chargers. But that black one has a great front end. Kinda looks like an early cougar front.

The Daytonas and the Superbirds are the top of the automotive food chain for me. They (especially the Superbird) were the cars that have always made me pee my pants......I'll be right back....I have to change clothes.

I'll second that emotion............"Do what?".

The Charger,in my opinion,was one of those iconic cars that just couldn't be improved on in the looks department. They got it right.

No, sorry I don't see much similarity between the Charger and Cougar. 

While we are taking about Mopars...I always fancied the Cuda in Plum Crazy w/black Billboard graphics.

Yeah dude I know what you are trying to say...but there is not much common between the two.  Maybe if you were drunk and had sand in your eyes??  lol

My favorite car of all time is the '69 Chevelle...but a Plum Crazy 'Cuda would be soooo sweet.  Those cars just had a "bad ass" vibe especially with the shaker hood, window louvers, etc.  OK now I'm 2nd guessing the Charger as being my favorite Mopar.  I think I want to change my vote to 'Cuda!

I like all Chevelles but 68-69 were the best two years, IMO.  The tail lights on a '69 are friggin sweet.  I also think I like the 68-69 because they appear to be smaller sized than the earlier ones (not sure if they really are).

Yes, the two doors got a shorter wheelbase starting in '68.
