NDS Not me. At 16 years old, when I started high school in 1975, I rolled in a pristine ‘71 Plymouth Barracuda (medium blue metallic with white vinyl top and blue interior). Traded that one a year later (in 1976) for a ‘74 Plymouth ‘Cuda 360 (yellow with black longitudinal stripes that ran the full length of the car along the upper part of both sides, black vinyl top, black interior) which I drove the last two years of high school through my first year of college. Just before my second year of college began, I sold the ‘Cuda and bought a 351c.i. powered ‘78 Ford T-bird with T-tops (white with white vinyl landau top, red pin striping, white leather seats with red carpet and dash). That was how I rolled back in the day. Wish I would have kept the Barracuda and ‘Cuda. Those were two mighty fine Plymouths! Before I check out of life I wouldn’t mind owning/driving... ‘76/‘77 Dodge Charger Daytona ‘78/‘79 Dodge Magnum SE ‘79 Chrysler Cordoba 300 ‘73/‘74/‘75 Pontiac Grand Am ‘74/‘75/‘76 Chevrolet Chevelle Laguna S-3 So many cars - so little time.
It's important to note, that not all cars from Chrysler in this time period have Lean Burn. There are so many misconceptions about Lean Burn. Even on the Charger, it was an option on the 318 engine, you had to pay extra for it. I believe it was standard on only the 400. If you lived in California, or Colorado in high Altitude areas, you couldn't have lean burn at all. Lean Burn didn't make the car pollute less, it only gave the car better fuel mileage and horsepower. Lean Burn wouldn't meet the emission standards of California so no cars in California have lean burn, that's about 15% of all Chrysler Products were sold to California.
This car had a radio scan search button mounted on the floor that the driver could trip with your left foot. The Ttops were cute, but a sunroof was better. Today the sunroofs are moonroofs, with glass, combining the t-tip and sunroof capacities, and a Panoramic even more so. Thanks Lee for the cars, and Jimmy for bailing Chysler out.
I love the '75-'77 Charger Daytona & '78-'79 Cordoba 300C! Though I find it so funny that some random woman looks at the guy and finds him and his car so cool, lol.
The '75 (first year) version of this filmstrip is also on UA-cam. It talks about increased windshield area from the '74 Charger; given how expensive that is to change I can only guess that the Cordoba/Charger used the windshield and cowl pressing the Coronet/Satellite sedans and wagons had since 1971.
Those red plush seats look so comfortable to sit in and take a nap on. Even my 68 tbird seats don't come like those at all. They're more like mustang gt seats
Corduroy and vinyl seats ? -No thanks. I laughed my head off when I saw some of those interiors. My bro came in and asked what the fk I was watching when He heard the music ! Yes it has moustaches and aviator glasses, but there's no, um, Fornicating, heh heh.
The true Charger of the 60's was a big powerful muscle car. That one looks like a personal luxury car a Cordoba twin brother and thus NOT a real Charger at all. And it's a Chevy Monte Carlo look alike too.
The computers mounted on the air filter was it's down fall. They couldn't take the heat and vibration even though the circuit board/computer was bedded in some kind of silicone. They consistently failed. Within 2 years they moved it inside the car and mounted it behind the glove box. Still very impressive for the time and one of many things Chrysler did first. They also did something called the Seat Belt Interlock System. The car would not start if the seat belt wasn't clicked in place. It led to an entire group of people who sat on the seat belts every day for years. Chrysler eventually abandoned the whole program it was so unpopular with buyers.
I may not be correct but I believe the lean burn computers were moved under the dash on the police cars only. And by the time 1981 came the system became all electronic instead of mixing analog and electronic.
My father had one of those 'Dobas and you're absolutely right. That 360 had almost no guts and I could swear it was a worse gas hog than my '70 Charger's 383 Magnum.
Dodge badge engineered version of the Cordoba. My father had the '77 Charger Daytona with the "lean burn" 400. It ended up with twice as many miles on the back wheels as on the front, as it was on the tow truck so much.
When I worked for Dodge, they had a used Charger just like this, that the F&I Manager called Christine. One day, I finished Washing Christine, and started to wash an Impala that was about 10 feet in Front of Christine. After a few minutes, I stepped back to rinse my rag out in my bucket, and Christine was Right behind me; I had missed a little Dirt at the Bottom of her Grille. I looked All around, but Nobody was there. When this real Nasty lady made a crack about Christine before a test drive, it (she) Wouldn't start. Later, a Truckdriver came in, fell in Love with Christine, bought her, and re named her "Honey". Soon after, his Wife left him....
william jones. Did you not listen to the narrator at all? He said, "It's a very special car for very special people." That means that the Charger was so special, that anyone with sense would rather travel by Dodge than by jet. I know I would! ;)
Aside from rust and the horrible ELB systems, these were not horrible cars. Big and roomy, they had the luxury people were looking for back then, in a 2 door specialty hardtop. Unlike Ford or GM, they still had some grunt and much better handling, when 1 ordered an engine w/o the ELB... The biggest turn off for sales was a poorly applied name.. 'Charger' had always stood for brute performance in a higher end 2 door sports coupe/hardtop. This car, with it's too close to Cordoba styling, wasn't that. Indeed, most buyer simply went with a Cordoba for a couple bucks more, with a couple more items standard, and virtually the same option list, package for package. Adding the Daytona name only caused more insult to injury, as it was just a sport appearance graphics package. I know, all of the big 3 were doing that back then. I had read an article in the early 90's that several names were considered before the brass got involved, and simply called it a Charger SE. Magnum, ( which of course would later be used and replaced it) Dodge GT, Dodge Charger LT which got them in trouble with GM using LT with Chevrolet, Dodge TC for touring coupe, which got nixed because everyone was calling the Town and Country wagon, a TC at the time, and Dodge Luxurian, which the brass thought sounded too much like the old Buick Centurion. Still, not a bad car, just poorly timed and poorly named.
What’s that they say about beauty and the eye of the beholder? The truth is, even fat folks are good lookin’ to some folks. For each of us there is always an admirer out there somewhere no matter how ugly we are ...just a lot fewer of ‘em the uglier we are to the general populous. At least you have one admirer looking back at you in the mirror 😁
I liked the looks of this more than the Cordoba sibling. However, I think the production numbers of this car were a fraction of the Cordoba. I guess that's the star power of Ricardo Montalban vs. the porn stache guy or maybe it was that the Cordoba had Corinthian leather.
I wish I could say that I've found the 1977 Dodge Charger to be a very attractive car to look at. By this point, car makers seemed to concentrate more on style and comfort, and less on function and performance. While I can understand the wish to produce safer cars, but a lot of the American cars of the mid 70s, except for the Dart and Aspen (IMHO), seem to look less and less attractive.
In 1975 Chrysler had the Cordoba,Dodge had this Charger and Charger Daytona..Oddly they had a Charger SPORT that was different,it was changed to Monaco the next year..google 1975 Charger Sport,then 1975 Charger ,Charger Daytona same b body frame but different body..Sport is smaller...Confusing..I had both at one point a 68 Charger RT (still have) 75 Charger Sport,77 Charger Daytona and a 78 Charger SE..(circa early 1980's..)
It was becoming clear that by 1977, the Charger was a mere shadow of itself. It was more luxury than performance. It was nothing special. There weren't any more 440 Six-Packs or 426 Hemis available. This was the age of the "smog-mobile".
That was basically what US auto industry became starting in 71 and by 73 everything was somewhere on the economy to luxury scale, even the past performance marques. When the insurance rates and smog regulations killed the muscle cars and the feds mandated the big bumpers, everything that was not economy went luxury. The answer to everything seemed to be put a vinyl roof, opera windows, and coach lights on it and call it a Brougham. Then when the gas prices spiked in the mid 70s, these so called luxury cars became vulnerable. The Japanese had economy cars that were innovative and reliable while the Europeans could produce cars that could handle well and gave better performance given their power to weight ratios. Yes, the mid 70s to early 80s were a sad decade for American cars and let's not talk about quality as that was another sad story.

This isn't even a Daytona. Look up the paint scheme for a 76. This is a bad repaint (look at the hood ) of a SE . Daytona's came with buckets and center console.

That don't look like no Charger. That looks like a Chevy Monte Carlo.
Are they cocaine smugglers?
Ha ha lol
I thought the same thing too!
power eveything except it looks like they missed the sunroof
Debbie Does Daytona.
The guy is hot! What car? lol
Like Ricarldo Montalban once said, "That soft Corrinthian leather". Lol, no such thing.
The Charger became a Cordoba! ugh
This is when they completely fucked up the charger
when they made it a 4 door and 4 door only car, they fucked it up.
i have the real charger in my garage,and that is a 1966 CHARGER!
@@krazi77 agreed
That is just dressed up Cordoba
Like a Cordoba, but better.
0:25 - That is one cheesy looking car.
i have one myself got when i was 18 an got laid in the back seat next day so hows them apples!?- its a badass car it has a 360 stock an puts out. its the same car as the old 4dr SATTLELIGHT as in Police Interceptor... hint the swaybars custom suspension floats like a Cadillac. you floor that mofo taking conors at 80mph just smooth as @$$ pretty hard to actually roll one holds the road great an turn heads everywhere.
only bad thing is gas mileage and my neighbors be HATE'N due to true dual exaust cherry bombs their just jealous...
Who in the right mind would buy this wanna be car over a car like the Monte Carlo, at least it knows what it’s about
looks like a car a pornstar would have bought back then !
You could dress it up any way you wanted, it was a Cordoba.
This isn't even a Daytona. Look up the paint scheme for a 76. This is a bad repaint (look at the hood ) of a SE . Daytona's came with buckets and center console.
a cordoba with charger nameplates
This Mopar is a pooch that would be lucky to out run a Hyundai Elantra nowadays.
What wasn't a pooch in 1977?
A Monte Carlo with a 250 6cyl, 305, or 350? Malibu with same thing? Cutlass with a Buick 231 V6 or Olds 350? Ford Torinobird with a 302 or boat anchor 351M?
