I think the challenger has some great body lines and styling that all work together  :cooldancing:


Now top 10 in the world there are some cool cars missing from the list INHO

But it's not my list  :rebel:

The body line of the challenger is sleek and well curved the rear end is sexy muscle. Deserves it;s place on the list right after the 71 cuda.  :stirpot:

I'm at first surprised to have a Challenger in that mix but the more I look at the Challenger and then compare it to the other cars, then take a step back, it does seem to fit in.  As far as old muscle cars go, the Challenger has unique all around looks, as did many Mopars of that era.  There were too many cars that tried too hard to imitate another car and the Challenger was a clean slate design.

I do agree though there were somw cars that were left of the list.  There were many 60's Ferrari/GT cars that were beautiful, one I feel is unique and makes use of a clear hood scoop and fender scoops was the 1961 Ferrari 250 TR 61 Spyder Fantuzzi or a 1963 Ferrari 250 GTO .   Lamborghini Countach was like nothing else and defined the shape of a Supercar for years....
1972 Dodge Challenger Rallye 340, AT, Code TB3=Super Blue, SBD=8/17/1971.  Yes, a Rallye without the fender louvers from the factory because of the body side molding option.

I agree the Lambo defined the super car in the 80's along with the various ferrari, testarosa's.

I saw the Bugatti in the Ralph Lauren collection.  Voluptuous car!

Weird.  My wife has these company meetings every so often, kinda  :sleeping: .  But she told me it was at the Museum of Fine Arts in Boston, turns out the Ralph Lauren Collection was there.  :bigsmile:

The Challenger Vert makes my top ten easy.  I have wanted nothing else since the first time I saw a picture of one.

Looks like Firestone agrees with this topic. They had a Challenger in their most recent commercial.

Hey, the GTO won the race with the Challenger!  :swear:  I think the Chalenger just let the older guy win to be nice....  :rofl:

At least it was in the closing shot.  :icon16:
