No idea what manual transmission where on the dodges , always preferred the autos .. but did own a 340 that had the 3 on the tree manual .. I blew the the motor on that one in the snow .. . Then put in a new motor or alongs with the 727 torque flite with a hurst floor slapstick shifter .
Your in the majority on here with your post ..
The Trans Ams are great looking!
Agree , the challenger is the closest match of them all
Yeap , just look at the 1968 fast back chargers hahaha , they changed the design back then and removed the fastback ,, But still resembled each other ..
That's because they were never going for retro styling with the new Chargers. They did however take styling cues from the old ones. 06-10 took cues from the 68; circle taillights, the recessed rear window, most of the curves of the fenders, the ducktail on the back end. Even the shifter gate resembles the one in my old 72 (and that design goes back to 68). 11-14 they took cues from the 69-70's. Bar taillights, clamshells on the doors and hood depressions. Even the stock spoilers were made to resemble the old Go-wings.
Thank you! I never paid attention to those details! I guess it was the body style that got me off track. But, now that i know this, it makes perfect sense
