I always liked the 71 B bodies and have owned both. Just curious what the members here think. Given identical powertrains, colors and options, which would you rather own?

I think they both were hideous. Nobody used them in the movies in any great numbers either. Plenty of other 68-70 B body cars in the movies. Don't think that was the question. If you don't like either car why post on this thread? Why are so many people now days so eager to voice their hate? That is like going to CA and then telling everyone there that I hate CA and everyone that lives there, which I don't. Whoopsie do about movie cars. A 71 Hemi RR will bring more money than a 68-70 Hemi B body.

71/72 Plymouths are some of my favs ever. I don't like the quarter glass opening shape on 71/72 Chargers and the higher height for that area ( hence why I like 73/74 Chargers with bigger opening and lower stance for the body lines there ), so my election is pretty simple and obvious.
now... 71 or 72 Plymouth... I like the 72 RR grill more than the rest, and I think likes more the 72 Bumper shape too than 71 ( which it looks like was kicked into the ass LOL ). So even the options are on 71s I'd have to stuck with it, but if was 72... mmmmm with 71 sidemarkers
( actually I like more the 73/74 RR rear bumper than 72s )

I think my avatar answers that question for me. Such a unique body style that is just beautiful at any angle. Wish I had mine still. Rob

A 71 Hemi RR will bring more money than a 68-70 Hemi B body. moparmarks - Completely Agree. Hateful people need to peddle their unwelcome remarks somewhere else. BTW, didn't Daisy Duke drive a '72 RR? Except for wing cars, the '71 Hemi B body cars usually bring about 50% more to double their 68-70 counterparts. I like all muscle cars actually. The 71 B body mopars though could be ordered with all the best options Chrysler had to offer. Hemi and six pack motors, pistol grips, air grabber/ ram charger hoods, slap stik, front and rear spoilers, high impact colors, rear window louvers, rubber bumpers, cassette player, hood pins, 15 inch rallyes, cruise control - did I miss any? Hell, I once owned a brown '71 Charger with hide away headlights that had tiny headlight wipers and squirters ala Mercedes Benz. Some of these options were carried through to the '72 model year but most disappeared after 1971. For me, '71 was the height of Mopar excellence for all body styles.

Back in the 70's my first car was a 69 Charger R/T and I didn't really like the 71-up B's. A chick here had a 71 Charger R/T N96 car and I use to tease her about her hood. When we raced I told her "you better open your little door" . Then in the early 90's I bought two 71 Satellite Sebring Plus cars and fell in love with them. With their wider track they handle and ride so much better than the earlier cars. Have owned around 20-30 71-2 B's since. I still love the 68-70 B's and own a 69 RR which is one of my favs but a 71 Hemi RR is one of my bucket list cars.

When I was a teenager looking for my first muscle car, I wanted a 70 roadrunner. Went to look at a 71 and fell in love with the body style. Have always owned at least one since. The 71 Chargers are nice, but the body style just doesn't do as much for me as the Plymouth.
