You know how I stand on this: Challenger. Why you ask? First, its the styling. Chrysler got it right better than Camaro and Mustang in my opinion. Its roomy. Its fast. Love the color/model options. Gold Rush, Lime Green, and B-5 Blue are my favorites. Hell Cat, Demon, Red Eye, wide body, etc. Horsepower, do I have to say it? 707 and 800 +.
Past owned Shelby's:
1968 GT-350--Gold
1970 GT-500--#3129--Grabber Orange.
Current lifelong projects:
1969 Mustang Fastback/FOX chassis, 5 speed, 4 wheel discs, with a modern Can-Am 494 (Boss 429), Kaase heads, intake with a 1425 cfm 'B' Autolite Inline carb, ala Trans-Am style

1966 Shelby GT 350 H   It's a great car, and fun to drive.
Original owner of 6S550. Owned since 1967. 64,000 Miles, all body original except hood and front valance. All glass original except windshield. Still has aluminum 4 speed. Has replacement Mico.  Also own 1966 Mustang convertible. They are drivers, not trailer queens.

Back to the topic at hand:

What is your favorite retro car and why ?

Well it's not that Dodge Fudgie, but we do get a laugh when we see the pool floats on their spoilers.

FACTOID :

Dodge ships its Challengers and Chargers with yellow plastic pieces on the splitter to protect the part during shipping. These splitter guards are supposed to be removed by the dealer, but a number of owners have taken to leaving them on, giving their cars an, uh, colorful accent.

Funeeeeeee
