"best" is EXTREMELY subjective; depends on the criteria....is it all about condition, or the particular car, options, color, etc. etc. Frankly, you're question cannot be answered without much clearer criteria. Best restored Mopars: easy, just go with the highest scoring cars at the Nationals. Dave Walden's Valiant is likely the best restored Mopar ever done.... Best survivor?  I would nominate Steven Juliano's '71 FC7 Hemi Charger or perhaps the "Reynolds" '71 Hemicuda......but I certainly haven't seen everything.  Dave

I thought I was pretty clear by breaking down the cars by their body styles and the condition that they were in. Sure I could have been a little more clearer in saying I'm looking for the best ones out there and break it down some more, but I guess the question I asked could go on and on. I could have also added what is the best one located in your town, or the best one located in your state, or the best one you've ever seen any wheres on the planet, instead of saying the best ones that showed up at a car show...
Hmm, so is this FC7 plum crazy 71 Hemi Charger R/T the best Hemi survivor out there, or is there another original 426 Hemi car out there hiding in a barn somewhere that will beat it?
It seems that everyone is agreeing so far on what the best restored a-body is by the opinion's posted above. So what car is the best unrestored a-body survivor then, anyone?
There was also a couple of choices for best restored e-bodies posted, so then what is the best unrestored e-body survivor, anyone have any ideas.
So hence the question Best of the Best, they could be anywhere and never been to a car show yet, or one that nobody has laid their eyes on in years stored away somewhere.
