'71 to '14 Challenger comparison pics
« on: October 18, 2014 - 08:38:20 PM »
I was putting the '71 away for the winter today and decided to take some pictures along side the '14. Amazing how small the old one looks.

I agree my 70 Cuda looks small next to my 09 Challenger classic.

Right after I got my '71 I buzzed over to the local Dodge dealership to take some pics.  The new Challengers look like beasts next to mine.

1/2 more in size. A much larger quarter panel and a taller roof area. The lines on the older version is more defined. :smokin: :dogpile:

They don't look bigger to me.  They just look fatter.   :dunno:

Strange, I think the new ones looks smaller than the old ones, if I see one by itself. But thats obviously not the case.

Anyone know the size for both?  The rear wheels on the 71 look farther apart (wider stance) than the new one.  Could just be my old eyes.   :bigsmile:
