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?

Road Runner. Have owned several. A few Dodges too be really like the lines and shorter looking nose of the Plymouths.

The Plymouth's styling is just so much more refined and balanced that it's design is still contemporary, the Dodge is merely a 2 litre coke bottle on wheels IMHO

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 )

Plymouth, And even then it would have to be a color / drivetrain and options combination that's pops my buttons.

The Charger never has done much for me

There are cars MUCH higher on my like list to buy one

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

Love those Dodges. The first Street Hemi I ever saw was in a '71 at my Dad's Shell station.

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.

My Favorite is a 70 RR but I like the 71's too.

71-72 B-bodies is the only body style that I have no preference between Dodge and Plymouth. I like them both.

I have a 72 Charger but I just really like a 71-72 Roadrunner a little more. The Charger is sleek and looks fast, the Roadrunner is bold and stocky like a bulldog.

I’ve yet to own a Plymouth so I’d go with a 71 Bee based on that. I also love 71 chargers so for me it’s an easy decision. I would really like a 69 road runner someday so I have nothing against owning Plymouth’s.
KID

I'd take the Bee

road runner. The Super Bee shoulda died with the 2 door Coronets.

Road Runner over the Bee. No question.

Road Runner for me, the sexiest body Ma Mopar made. My opinion of course.
