What is your favorite E-Body? What would you make it look like. Picture it like you were sitting with the salesman. What would you order?

Plum Crazy 1970 Challenger with a Hemi, 4-spd, Track Pak, SE Package, Sunroof, White top, white interior, and white V8* stripe.         That would be some big :money:

Well good question.

1. 1970 Cuda with a 340 in it.
2. 1970 Gran Coupe with a small block
3.  1970 M46 Barracuda

Would have to think about the color for sure. 
Got a pretty good start on my M46 optioned Barracuda restoration but now it is on hold till I can gather more funds.  Still need a few parts for it.  SIU Graduate 75 AAS Automotive Tech, 94 BS Advanced Tech Studies, 1997 MSED Workforce Education and Development

I would have pretty much ordered my 70, but would have been torn between the limelight and plum crazy.

Thats the real fun in working on these things.  There is enough parts availability to build what you want.  I just takes more time and money. I have just added whatever optional equipment I have always wanted to the car I have.  I have almost all of the parts for the 4 speed to go in, and I still need to get a shaker hood.  The best part is that it is more and more fun to drive as it gets closer and closer to the car I would have ordered.

70 Cuda
440
six barrel
four speed (Soon)
shaker hood (a bit later)
rallye dash
console
gills
fog lights
15" rallye wheels
black interior
black hockey stripe

I'd order a '71 Hemi 'Cuda hardtop in triple black with a four-speed, shaker, and probably end up coming back with a '70 Challenger T/A in Hemi Orange with a four-speed as well. :)

1970 Challenger T/A Hemi Orange 4 speed , all the options I could get!
2nd up would be a 71 Cuda . I love the picture of the winchester gray one posted above, or hemi orange too. Maybe even a convertable. I'd also love a burn orange 1970 GTX too....
