If you like chargers, but you don't know what other cars are of the same type, maybe you shouldn't be buying one. You do realize that a lot of work is involved in maintaining a vehicle that old. If it doesn't need regular service then expect to pay a lot for one in good shape. Do you know how to work on cars yourself? Mechanic fees are super steep for simple do-it-yourself fixes. Are you prepared to be spanked by the guy in a honda civic? Cuz if this is about wanting a fast car you might want to look at something newer. Performance out of an old muscle car is only competitive if you're willing to have a 400 + engine. I understand the appeal of muscle cars but it's so impractical, I'm having a hard time suggesting anything. What's your price range? You don't want to be driving a charger in the winter, especially if it's performance geared. Muscle cars from the 60's-70's are a hobby thing, for older guys who can afford multiple vehicles and all the other expenses involved.
A little out of touch?

Dodge Charger was put back into production as a 4 door sedan in 2006.
Dodge Challenger resumed production as a coupe on the same platform as the Charger in 2008.





Before you spout off a snippy post, at least make sure you have half a clue as to what you're talking about.
