Seems like about 6 to 1 prefer the Roadrunner so far. I prefer the Roadrunner also but thought I was in the minority. Learn something new everyday. Here is my '71.

I found a smaller photo of the car at it's first show. I think everything flows nicely on the car. Interior is about 75% finished. Also a good friend of mine had a base '71 charger (318/air/column auto) during college years we used to bomb around in. He used it all year long so eventually the Illinois salt got to it. Absolutely Awesome Build! KID

I have had a couple of '71 GTXs,a '72 Sebring and a '71 Charger. The Charger was kinda different, it was a loaded SE with a 383 Magnum and 4 speed. I haven't ever cared much for those years Charger, but that car was so cool and in great shape, that I thought it would grow on me. But no, I just couldn't learn to love the shape. But I did make money on that car when I sold it.
Had that been a '71 Sebring trimmed like that rather than a Charger, I would still have the car. A really great combo.
Mopar kinda screwed the pooch in a number of ways with the 71 Chargers to me.
Master, again and still

I like the Plymouth front half, but the decklid and rear bumper are kinda boring in comparison. agreed! I think the rear clip on Charger looks way better,. That's why I likes more 73/74 Plymouths rears more than 71/72. As I mentioned, 71/2 Plymouths ( more 71s ) looks like were kicked into the ass. Big hips but no butt.

I really like both for 1971. For me, the Super Bee just edges out the RR by a tiny bit. In my eyes, the Charger has just a little bit more of a classy exterior look. I sure wouldn't mind having one of each, but my wallet says I can't have either LOL
