    I tend to agree with him. The 71s look like they tried just too hard to make it not look like anything else, that they broke out all the grade school hot rod drawings from one of the Design Engineers kids to doll it up with frilly this and overdone that.

    If you want an E body with four headlights, just buy a challenger.   :smilielol:

    The funniest thing about this particular signature is that by the time you realize it doesn't say anything it's to late to stop reading it.

    Jealously makes some people say some stupid things I guess  :roflsmiley:  Ugly it isn't, but in my personal taste I prefer the round tail light models  :woohoo:  :2thumbs:

    See, I look at it slightly differently. Figuring all the bad decisions that dodge has made over the years, the challenger was the next logical step!  :bigsmile:

    I like Barracudas just fine. They are just a little too short for me.  :icon16:
