A,B,C and E bodies. You can only have one...

I thought this would be a cool idea.

Lets say you have the option to have any A,B,C and E body car in the world. Money is no object, But you can only have one of each. What would they be? And, you have to choose one from each body style, no skipping one and getting two of another body style. If you have pictures of each kind, that would be cool too.

My A body pick would be a 1968 Hurst Hemi Dart with a 727. All painted up in a period correct lace paint job and some Fenton Super Shark wheels.

My B body pick would be a 1969 Hemi Coronet R/T convertible with a 727. All black, side scoops, recall wheels, super track pack 4:10 dana.

My C body pick would be a 1968 Chrysler 300 convertible. Silver with a red interior, road wheels, TNT 375 HP 440.

My E body pick would be a 1971 Hemi Challenger R/T 4 speed with an N96 hood. All black, black side stripes, rubber bumpers, black 450 steelies with poverty caps. Super track pack 4:10 dana.

My C and E body picks

Been done already, a couple times.

And I'll still take a 30 body.

Ah, c'mon...

Black Demon with a 426 and Welds.

Yellow '69 SuperBee

A Three Hundred H

and a '71 B7 Blue, 340-4 speed shaker Challenger

The gold and white Chrysler is called a 300 Hurst. A 300H Was made in 1962. Both great cars.

Nice taste in rides Grizzly

My A body pick would be my 1968 Dodge Dart. I'd probably would have gone with a Gen III Hemi, but otherwise pretty close to what I'm building it to as an all out race car with some street manners.

My B body pick would be a 1968 Dodge Charger R/T. 426 Hemi, 4-speed, silver, black interior, black tail stripe, black vinyl top, steelies. Pretty much exactly how it would be from the factory.

My C body pick would be a 1962 Chrysler 300 convertible. I'd have a nicely built 440 and an automatic overdrive transmission. Cruise control. Try to get power everything. AC. Just have a fun cruiser.

My E body pick would be a 1970 Challenger. I'd think I'd probably build or buy a T/A. Try to make it exactly like how someone would have raced it in the Trans Am series.

A: 71 Duster 340/4 speed Sassy Grass/black stripes, Cragars

B: 69 Charger R/T 440/4 speed triple black/red stripe Cragars (but I would trade the A and the E for a 69 A12 Super Bee and a 71 440+6 Road Runner)

C: 70 Fury 440 police car

E: 72 Challenger Rallye 340/4 speed FY1/black top and stripes, Keystone Klassics

Thanks!

C Body Hands down, 1960 300F Convertible, 4 Sp Mousson manual, with AC, color not important.
There is reported to be only one made.

( it was a 413 rated at 400hp and had "short" long rams)

B body 63 savoy max wedge.
A body 68 dart 340/4 speed

A Body : 1969 Barracuda fastback
B Body : 1969 Charger 500
C Body : 1968 Polara wagon
E Body : 1970 Challenger R/T

A body I already have, 1971 Duster 340 V24 in Sassy Grass Green, close second would be a 1971 Demon 340 in Hemi Orange.

B body would be a 1970 Roadrunner in Lime, pistol grip and 440 6bbl

C Probably a Hurst 300

E body 1970 Challenger T/A in B5 blue with blue interior.

A: '69 M code GTS
B: '69 A12 Super Bee (Black/Red stripe)
C: '67 Chrysler Newport fasttop (Triple black, 440 4 speed)
E: '70 Hemi Challenger (B5)

VERY difficult question.

The A would be a 69 GTS without question but what drivetrain??? Probably a 340 4 speed with 3.55s cause I would need one hotrod I could take on road trips, the other option would be a true 440 car.

The B is almost completely undecided I love so many of them couldn't even narrow it down to a Hemi Modtop 4 speed Daytona, a 69 M code 4 speed Bee or Runner (probably Modtop as well), a 69 Hemi 4 speed RT of either flavor, a 6 pack or Hemi air grabber Runner or X and that list could go on and on but would involve multiple carbs a 4 speed and a dana.

The C I just don't know well enough to know but chances are an Imperial from the 60s built to be the cat's meow on the highway.

The E is probably the easiest, a real 71 Hemi 4 speed Shaker RT with a 4.10 dana and a vicious day 2/super stock look.

A: 69 Dart GTS 340,4sp in Q5 turquoise
B: 70 Hemi Super Bee 4sp in FC7 plumcrazy
C: 70 Sport Fury GT 440+6 in EB7 dark blue
E: 70 Challenger RT Hemi, 4sp in FC7 plumcrazy

A- 68 gts
B- 68 charger 383
E- 70 t/a
C- 70 Sport Fury GT
F- 76 Volare RR

68 Hemi Dart
71 Hemi Road Runner
71 Hemi Cuda
For the C-body can I have a 55 300????

Yea, I want one of those too........

68 Dart 340 4 speed
69 GTX ragtop 440 red white guts 4 speed
70 Challenger ragtop lime green

If I was picking cars to have and enjoy, not as an investment opportunity:

A - The Demon I have now. Of course It would be "gone through" again. Snotty and highly modified street machine/test n' tune night beasty.

B - At this moment, a '72 Roadrunner/GTX. Modified as above, but with only wheels being an external sign of what lurks beneath. This choice changes weekly however.

C - '70 Sport Fury GT. Probably close to stock stock with some suspension/handing upgrades.

E - Don't care for E bodies, so I would pass on one of those altogether. However if I was required to take one, it would be a 73 'cuda. Like the tail-lights on them the best.

You didn't give us an option for trucks.I would love a Little Red clone with modern running gear and a beefed up towing package for hauling the top two choices to various playgrounds.

1969 A13 440 'Cuda Fastback Q5 white interior, white vinyl top
1969 GTX Convert Q5, Pewter interior, 440 727 floor, 8 track, all options but no A/C
1971 R/T FJ6 white stripes/top/interior, 440 6 pack 4 speed, louvers, spoilers, rubber bumpers,15x7, loaded, shaker with no hood pins, painted mirrors
1959 Chrysler 300 convertible, copper spice, loaded (big car but not really a C-body)

I like your taste, but that's NOT a C-body (neither are the other early letter cars mentioned). It pre-dates the body designation.

As for the original question, I won't play because there really isn't an E-body that I really want (certainly not in my top-10)...

Excellent taste in your B bodied choice..

A: 1967 Barracuda Formula S, just like this:



B: 1968 Charger R/T



C: '70 300 Hurst



E: 1970 Hemi 'Cuda in this sand color

A body 71 Demon/Duster 340
B body 69 Bee Six Pack
E Body 71 Cuda I even like the 340
C Body 70 Hurst
KID

A body: 1963 Valiant. Nobody would ever try to steal it.
B body: 1974 Charger. Nobody would want to ride in it.
C body: 1971 300. Nobody knows what they look like.
E body: 1971 Challenger with a slant six and drum brakes. Nobody would talk to me if I drove it.

Kidding.

A body: 1969 Dart like I had in high school. I'd have better luck in the car today now that I have mad skills with chicks.
B body: 1968 Charger R/T, just like the Bullitt car but with bigger wheels and tires.
C body: 1970 Sport Fury GT
E body: 1970 Cuda AAR. Yellow. Heck yeah!
F body: 1978 Aspen R/T

'65 Valiant convertible, 273 Commando, 4-gear
'64 Polara 500 Convertible, 383, 4-gear
'68 T&C longroof, 440, front and rear air
'70 6 pack 4-gear Challenger R/T

Another 440 Ramchager would be nice, too...

Some interesting choices here. Fun to read for sure.

A body ...68 Hemi Cuda Done up as delivered

B body ... 68 Coronet RT 426 Hemi B5 blue black int

C body ... 68 Sport Fury 440 Black with white int Weld pro stars

E body ... 70 AAR Cuda B5 Blue

So looking at the list I see I like the 68 model year more then I thought.

69 Superbee, 383 auto on column, silver and black........MOPAR's best front end next to the 71 Cuda.

71 Cuda, Bahama yellow with color keyed grille/bumper, white guts, 340 auto on column, pw and air. I think a member here has one similar in vert style......

Even if you guys dont care for a certain body style, try to pick one of each. That is what makes this more interesting.

in a 340/4 speed version and white gut.


a twin to this..


this in burnt orange


340/4speed version of this

Here are mine:

A: 68 Hemi Barracuda.
B: 69 Road Runner A12 lift off hood car, 4 spd, black on black
C: 70 Plymouth Fury- Dark Green with white interior, loaded up
E: 70 Cuda ARR, black on black

My picks would likely be...

A-Body : 1968 Dodge Dart convertible - Dark Blue w/white gut and roof. 340-Auto w/console.

B-Body : 1970 Plymouth Road Runner convertible - FK5 w/FK5 gut and black roof. HEMI-4 speed w/console.

Paul

Do you think they will refund my money?

I think next time you should do one year at a time with the same four categories.

This is today's list...subject to change daily:

1969 Swinger 340 4-speed F6 Mod Top white interior and stripe
1969 Daytona 426 Hemi 4-speed F6 white interior and stripe
1970 Sport Fury GT 440+6 TX9 with the burnt orange interior and orange strobe stripe
1971 Hemicuda convertible 4-speed EV2 with the orange cloth interior white top and billboard.

Dave

A Body- Demon Winchester Grey 340 4 speed with Cragar SS. there was one local when I was in school, original owner, drove it sparingly. Then a local flipper got it.
B Body- got that covered, just needs painted someday
C Body- '69 300 vert, like the one my late Uncle had stored in my garage when it burnt down
E Body TA 4 speed

I would most likely replace the A and E bodies with trucks.

A. 69 Dart?

B. 69 or 70 Road Runner



C. 71 300


E. 72 Challenger?

Trucks

Fun drivers for me.
A body, 72 340 4 speed Duster (Though the 65 V8 4 speed Barracuda was fun.)
B body 70 383 4 speed Road Runner (I've owned 3 of them in my life.)
C body, 69 Fury convert (My 71 Dodge Polara wagon was a good car too.)
E body, TA 4 speed (The blue one above would be good.)
F body, Plymouth Super Coupe (Blue, with the number please.)
Truck, 77 3/4 4x4 ( Trucks are tough, so many, I've owned at least one from every decade between the 1940s and the 1990s.)

30s car, 36 Plymouth business coupe (Street rod.)
40s car, 48 Plymouth business coupe (Not stock please.)
50s car, 57 Dodge wagon (Like my son's, only finished.)
Modern car, Hemi Charger (Maybe some day.)
Gene

69 Dart GTS M code B5 blue

A



B


E


Y

My A-body choice would be a '68 Hemi Dart, just how they were shipped, primered with a gel coat front finish.

My B-body would have to be Louis Dawson's '68 Hemi/4-speed Hemi Road Runner street race car from the early '90's, black on black, never saw it in action, just in Mopar Action and at the Spring Fling once.

My C-body would be a '70 Fury Sport Fury, big block in black or silver.

My E-body would be my '70 'Cuda that I've had since I was 20, now 48, been thru alot with it, good and bad.

I have a few of each. But, if I had to get down to one(lotta crying) it would be my 64 Savoy. My first car in 68 was a hardtop- 4-speed 361, originally white then b-5 blue. Sold it for $650, to get married.

That's a tough question...
But here goes.
A-body:'71 Demon 340/4-speed/3.55 gears. Wing, buckets, and either green, yellow, or black.
B-body: B-5 Blue M-code 4-speed Super Bee hartop.(Backup if I can't find this one would be a '69 Coronet R/T. Black, white gut, console, transmission unimportant, white stripe, and a top that goes down)
C-body: '69 Chrysler 300. Black with a TNT 440.
E-body: My Hemi car... Either black or yellow, shaker, 4-speed, side scoops, wing, '71... Challenger or Cuda, I don't care. But I like to lean towards the performance division, Dodge.
Truck: Either a '69 Power Wagon with a 440 and a stick or a '77/'78 Power wagon, big block, twin 60's, stick, extended cab...

"But I like to lean towards the performance division, Dodge."

Excuse me, but Dodge was always trying to catch up to Plymouth. Dodge was the luxury division, Plymouth was high performance. Only reason Dodge is still here is because of the truck. Should be called just Chyrsler, since he bought them. Heck now we're Fiats, pregnant roller skates.

Now I always thought Dodge was the base and Plymouth was next, then Crysler and then Imperial. AND no WE are not Fiat.

What's that got to do with the thread?

But what's left of Chrysler is....

U
What, you don't like drama?

Thank-You...


And it ain't changed...

Back then, it was Ronnie...

And Richard...



In modern times, Charlie Westcott didn't do too shabby...

(And of course, there's DD's Plymouth...


Both homeys...)

My picks:

A body: 1967 Barracuda, set up for autox/open track. Mild 5.7 hemi/t56.
B body: 1968 Charger R/T. Hemi, tremec 5 speed, stock appearing, GG1 dark racing green, black interior/top/stripe, torq thrusts.
C body: 1968 Chrysler 300 convertible. A/C, cruise, center console, black/red interior.
D/Y body: 1961 Imperial convertible. Stock and beautiful.
E body: 1971 Cuda, Hemi, Jerico. Sox & Martin pro stocker tribute.

Nope. It's my opinion.(a personal view, attitude, or appraisal)

Well through many years of hard work I'm fortunate enough to have a 71 Sassy Duster 340 a 69 Hemi RR a 69 Polara 500 and an AAR cuda so if I wanted anything different than these? you might as well have me committed

Agreed! That's a heck of a lineup!

"But I like to lean towards the performance division, Dodge."

Well I took exception to his quote and expressed my opinion. That's what it's got to do with this thread.

A body : 1976 Dart custom 4 door slant 6
B body : 1978 Magnum Xe
C body : 1972 Newport custom 4 door
E body : 1974 Challenger

You typed that out like you believed it Tim...when are they dropping you off at the hospital?

Dave

LOL hmm maybe if the right A12 came along Just take me away

I guess individual taste's differ greatly...

A body...I have learned to like the 69 Dart a bunch...No need for an M code with a good 340.

B Body...I think you guys might be missing out not choosing an A990 car...That's where I'd be.

C Body...That's a tough one...Maybe a Black 70 Sport Fury...

E Body...Loaded Red 70 Gran Coupe with hounds-tooth interior...

68 Barracuda Formula S 340 4 spd

64 Sport Fury. Black, red interior 426 4 spd.

65 300 L full load 4 spd.

70 Hemi 'Cuda 3 fender tags full of options.

Kevin

Hmmmm, I like the SSs better.

My list:

A-body - '68 Barracuda Fastback. Hemi or Big Block Street machine.

B-Body: '68 Charger. Big Block anything.

C-Body: '67 or '68 with Fastback - dont care what make or model.

E Body: '72-'74 "Round Tail Light" Barracuda. Big Block Street Machine. Rear Window Louvers, spoiler, slot wheels, raked stance. Tunnel ram.

A body 1971 Demon 340/auto

A body - 72 Swinger built my way
B body - 70 Coronet I like the look
C body - 64 300K long horn cross ram 413, 4 speed, with all the options.
E body - not interested

I have the 1970 A, B & C bodies I want already, all four doors.

For an E-body, I would want a small block with a manual 3 or 4 speed, but I would not turn away from a /6 3-speed either.

It will be immediately obvious, I have never considered this before, and the list is just off the top of my head.

A body would be a '72 Duster 340 4 speed.
B body would be a '69 Super Bee Hemi 4 speed.
C-Body would be a '69 Fury 2 door 440 auto.
E body would be a '70 Barracuda 440 4 speed.
Also a 72 D-100 pick-up 383 4 speed...
All would be Blue metallic ,except the Super Bee, it would be plumb Crazy.
All with white stripes where applicable and white bucket seat with console interior.

All wearing Keystone Classics and appropriately over-sized Firestone Super Sports. Except the Fury, it would wear the Chrysler C-body road wheel with Firestone Deluxe Champions.
All would have a Pioneer Super Tuner.

I'll take a '69 AMX.

Don't forget the Rambler Marlin
and a v-8 Gremlin,
and a 4 wheel drive Concord...
You know you want 'em.

I never heard of a 4x4 Concord. But the V-8 Gremmie and the Marlin

Oh ya, the Eagle wagon and sedan, I wanted a wagon. And yup, thinking of the Eagle made me think of the Concord on stilts.

I thought it was the Concord.
Might be the Eagle wagon.
Knew a feller that had one.
The buggy in the picture is kinda neat.
Hornet?

Supposedly all the pictures in the web site I looked at were Eagles, wagons, and coupes/sedans. But I've already closed that browser.

But the search I did was for: 4x4 AMC Concord. I can do it again.

'68 M code Dart
'63 Maxie Polara
Station Wagon like a '69 Polara
'71 Hemi Cuda 4 speed

LOL

I'm looking for an e

You laugh, had a 73 Challenger.

not impressed by the plastic interior.

Rather have an A body or a C body.

I probably posted on this thread the last time it came up, but what the heck...

A body 65 Barracuda V8 4 speed.
B Body 70 Road Runner 4 speed car.
C body really likes those big wagons.
E body AAR Cuda or Trans Am Challenger 340-6, 4 speed. Gene

Right now I would be happy to have what I got on the road...68 4spd charger with a 572 hemi...

Any specifics?

A body: a 68 Dodge Dart 340 GT, 4 speed. Convertible. (The only vert I will specify as I am not trying to select the most $$$$, and verts really weren't the 'thing' back in the day. Color?
That's tough. B5 blue I guess

B body: Easy, a 68 hemi Charger, black on black. Evil, pure evil. 4 speed of course.
Please Satan? I've been evil......really evil.

C body: really easy....Dan Corley's black Sport Fury GT V code promo car...........the day it rolled off the line........OK the day they were done with the photo shoot for the promo ads.

E body: again not gonna select a vert, cause they weren't really the thing back then.
1970 Hemicuda, 4 speed. Red, Sublime, Black, Yellow....like a 16 year old reaching climax with his girl, at this point I am not concerned about the specific details like color.

Take me there Lord.

Make mine a '71 340 Duster.

VL29H1B, GA4, S6VX, E55, D21, C55, G36, J45, N85, V6X, V8X, V24, W21

I did laugh.

Your interior answer is valid. I would also accept the interiors rattle like crazy.

I also commend you on your B body choice.

a- body: 68 dodge dart gt 340 4speed
b- body: very hard to pick, 64 polara 500 with 426 wedge 4speed
c- body: 66 dodge monaco convertable loaded with every option
e- body: 70 challenger r/t

A body: Who cares?
B body: 1970 Charger RT/SE V-code Sunroof
C body: Whats a C body?
E body: 1970 Challenger T/A

A body : 66 Valiant slant 6 3 speed
B body : 75 Coronet station wagon 318 auto
C body : 73 Newport wagon 400 2 bbl auto
E body : 74 Challenger 318 2bbl auto

all numbers matching of course

Oh so you were saying Tim...what hospital are you in?

Dave

A: 71 GSS Demon, GB5
B: 71 Road Runner, GY3, 440-6, strope stripe
C: Hurst 300
E: 70 T/A Go mango

Well . . . I think I have had most of all these body styles, but here is what I have had :

A Body = 74 Duster360 - E58 HP360, factory sunroof, factory fold down rear seat, console auto, buckets, V21 performance hood treatment, side & back stripes

B Body = 70 Sport Satellite - Factory a/c, cruise control, buckets with drivers side 6way manual adjust, console, small block, FC7 In-Violet

C Body = 70 300Hurst - had 3 (one car no engine) and made 1 convertible (convertible was most fun)

E Body = 70 340 Cuda - never had one

F Body = 76 Road Runner - 318, 4spd OD, factory rear fold down seat, all spoilers and decal package


Can't drive them all, but have always driven my cars to shows and just as regular cars. They have all been fun in their own right !

Cheers

Mark

Uhg! I'll be fine. Actually I think these Mopars are what keep me sane. Now that I have another A12 it's a hard choice between it and the Hemi RR.

To many that I like to make a choice from, without a lot more thought.

So for now, one that comes to mind for a C body would be this 300 B.

A Body - 71 Demon 340 4-speed in black on black.
B Body - '70 Charger R/T V-code in Limelight or Hemi Orange with black top and 4 speed.
C Body - '70 Chrysler 300 Hurst convertible.
E Body - I don't know...AAR Cuda in Black, I guess.

A-body...Black 68 Barracuda fastback, tubbed, hemi/auto
https://i.pinimg.com/originals/c6/8c/2c/c68c2ce1edd4259a69c769bd10d9f047.jpg

B-body...This is a hard one. There are a few I'd really like to have.
70 Road Runner F8, brown interior, 440-6, 4-speed and rallye wheels.

C-body...68 Sport Fury convertible

E-body...70 T/A FJ6 with white interior, 4-speed

At this point 8n my life.

A body. 1971 or 72 Demon 340
B body 1969 GTX 440 auto (preferably a convertible. (Acceptable substitute is a 1970 Road Runner hardtop 383 auto with air)

C body 1968 Chrysler 300 convertible.

E body. Thanks but no thanks. Been there and no interest to go back.

A body- 71 Demon 340, 4spd, black with black top and white stripes
B body- #43 Petty Superbird
C body- 70 Sport Fury Gt Vert, V code, 4spd, B7, white int, black top
E body - #48 Dan Gurney's AAR

A-body: 1965-66 Dart or Valiant wagon with 273/4bbl/4speed, because it's different.
B-body: '67 Coronet R/T convertible.
C-body: Either of mine finished.
E-body: '71 BH27 Barracuda or JH27 Challenger 'vert, which I would leave a base model with flat hood and whichever engine, because it's different.

A: '71 Demon 340
B: '70 Bee 440/4V
C: My C should be easy, because nobody else wants one: '77 New Yorker
E: Nah. I'd rather have a Mustang.
