They like big, wide, long, heavy cars. Like a shevelle or turdrino. Just kidding 
Just because you think it won't make it true. Horsepower is KING. To dispute this is stupid. C. Alston

Early B's are lightweight and easy to work on.
Easy to work on , Yes, Lightweight, No. My 64 Dodge Polara started out at 4200+lbs and now I'm at 3550 if I dont eat to much and only have 3 gallons of fuel in it

B Bodies: Best looking muscle car ever IMHO, they came with Hemis, solid well built, high quality, they came with Hemis, easy to work on with lots of room under the hood, they came with Hemis, lots of room inside for my big body, and also, did I mention that they came with Hemis?

I run a '65 coronet. Ever since I was a kid I've loved the body style. It weighs 2675 without me in it. Granted it has a chrome moly cage, lots of lexan and fiberglass and a mild aluminum hemi, but it still looks pretty much stock. 9.41 @142 isn't anything to sneeze at. aerodynamics...not much. I guess you just like a body style, any body style, and go with it.
Just think.... You could put a real healthy smallblock Indy motor or W5 motor in it and run 9.20's or better.
My old w5 motor runs 140@ 3200+ pounds 
69 Dart GTS A4 Silver All steel, flat factory hood, 3360race weight
418 BPE factory replacement headed stroker, 565 lift solid cam
Best so far, 10.40 @127 1/4
1.41 best 60 foot
6.60 at 103.90 1/8

Are you honestly gonna sit there and tell me these cars aren't some of the sweetest rides ever made? 
I mean, come on, look at these lines 
Just out right awesomeness 
And besides, at 2800 lb I would hardly call it a heavyweight. And I still have a lot of factory steel parts on it.
