Want an alternative Muscle Mopar? Get a "C" body!

With everyone fighting with machetes over A,B, and E bodies, finding one for sale at any price can be hard, regardless of your bankroll. You can still enjoy Mopar Muscle and at a lower price than the more sought after models. Here's some great examples.  #1 1969-78 Plymouth Sport Fury. I remember Peter Graves driving a '70 model on Mission: Impossible. Most had 383, 400 or 440 cubes under the hood and a ton of luxury options. Much like the 1969-76 Pontiac Gran Prix offered GTO-like performance in a luxury package, these cars offer a lot of "Bang for the Buck." 318 and 360 versions will be even cheaper, but are a little underpowered in these big cars. #2 1969-77 Dodge Polara / Monaco. "It's got a cop motor, a 440 inch mill." "It's got cop tires, cop brakes, cop shocks." These famous words by Elwood Blues never rang truer. Even if it's not an ex-police car, these models still have 383, 400 or 440 motivation, front disc brakes and comfortable interiors. The 2-door models are even good-looking. # 3 1969-77 Chrysler Newport. Same story- a big luxurious car with big power under the hood. Early '70's "Hurst" models are rare, but don't worry; their not bringing Six-Pack Road Runner prices. 1975-78 Chrysler Cordoba / Dodge Charger. Huh? a "Moldy 'Doba on this list? At this point in the '70's the Olds Cutlass and Pontiac Gran Prix were the best-selling cars in America. These cars were Mother Mopars answer. The horrific "Lean Burn" ignition systems and salt-flats gearing made them dogs. However, a lot of them have 400 or 440 cubes under the hood backed by a 727 and an 8 3/4 rear end. Trash the "Lean Burn" distributor and warped, bleeding over Thermo-Quad for a conventional electronic distributor and an Edelbrock AVS carb, and swap the 2.80:1 gears for some 3.23 or 3.55s and you'll have some fun. Something to think about if you want big fun for low bucks. Mastermind
