I went with the Monaco - I LOVE the full-size Fuselage MOPARS!

While all three are very nice, my pick is the Challenger.

The Challenger would have been my first choice a few years ago. But today, with old and brittle knees and joints, the Charger is perfectly designed to handle my entrance and exit. Sleek and with killer good looks - CHARGE!!(R)

In the order shown. The Challenger is beautiful and smallest.


Retired in Dunedin, Florida.

I could have voted a tie but that would have included the Monaco.  Like then Challenger best of all but Charger is a very close second.  I think my dislike of the Monaco is that I pretty much saw clunky 4 door family Monaco’s and wagons most of all.  As far as full size fuselages go give me a Fury or a 300 any day.

Challenger by far. Love the more compact size.

Yikes! I thought this one would be an easy vote for the Challenger. But then I realized how much I like the '71 Charger- its size and interior. I've never really taken to the Challenger/Cuda interiors of the early seventies. As I pondered all this, the thought of a Monaco with a 440 intrigued me. I have an affinity for full-size muscle cars. The Monaco gets my vote, followed by the Charger, then the Challenger.

I surprised my self on this one. No surprise on the Challenger being number one but the Monaco was a very close number two. IMO the Charger just can't stand up to the beautiful Challenger.

Mid-size Charger please. The only Challenger I liked was the '70 T/A. Like sports cars they are butt dragers[too low, no room for fat people] but nice to look at.

1. Charger

2. Monaco

3. Challenger
