Too bad the 68/69 charger and 70/71 cuda weren't built until the late 70's as is. The money spent on the 71 charger alone was likely much better saved, no matter how ugly the 2nd gen would have looked with 5mph bumpers
I thought 71-74 Charger sold quite well.
The window vents, exposed wiper arms, flat interior door cards, even that slab dash pad was all dated by 1971
