I like--and only because of sentimental reasons--the 73's. The memories. . ..the ladies. . .the Skynyrd . . . .What's that smell? Can't you smell that smell?

Smells like 1973 to me. . . :beer:

I would say:
1971 - BEST STRIPES & BEST PAINT OPTIONS (also spoiler package)
1972 - BEST GRILL & BEST REAR BUMPER/TAIL LIGHTS!

71-72 for Air Grabber N96 option
73-74 Runner up (hey I made a joke) for their Road Runner hood (bulge)

Over all I vote 1972!!!!
OK I'm just a bit biased ... but when I was looking for another Mopar I knew it had to be a 1972 Road Runner (in EV2 with N96)!!!!

"I dont like road runners"

But I do like bunny suits..... :D LOL Sorry Smellslike.

I have a '71. I would have to say I like them ALL. Every year there is something I like of each one. '70-The "square" look to 'em both the front and rear. '71- For the colors, stripes, N96. '72-Front grill and rear tailights, N96. '73-'74- My dad had a '73 Sat SSP gray and black(cool color, I think) but also the hood, front and rear of them. So I cant say I have a specific year that I like. :D

I LIKE ALL MOPARS :)

Wait there are other yrs besides '71????? :D


In my opinion the '72 rear bumber is uglier then the '71 but then I'm the same guy that doesn't like '71-'72 air grabber. Doesn't look right on the body style but the air grabber does look awesome on my brother-in-laws '70 GTX.


{edit} actually I do kinda like the shape of the '72 bumper a bit more but what is up with the backup lights? If they hadn't made them so huge then maybe.
