    I like them all. I've always had a thing for Dusters, more broadly for Plymouth. (I can't give you a specific reason) So the Dusters would top my list. If money were not an issue, the Go Mango version would be in my driveway. Thanks for the video.
    BTW, is that some Kenny Wayne I hear in the background?

      Thanks for your input Gary. I couldn’t agree with you more. Big fan of the Duster myself, as it was my first car. The music that’s used in my videos have to be royalty free so it’s probably not who you think it is. Thanks again for watching

    I have an A Body Chrysler Charger with a 360 La engine. They made them in Australia from 1971 to 78. I don't think too many people in the US know they even exist. Not many cars down under had big blocks. Nice video I love them all 😊

      The A Body Australian Charger was popular in New Zealand, Its based on the Valiant but a 2 door. It was designed by Bob hubbach, Bob also helped design the Dodge Viper. The 1972 Charger R/T E49 was the fastest Aussie production car down the quarter mile. It could beat the Ford Falcon 351 V8 and the Holden Monaro (GM) 350. The R/T could go from 0-100 MPH in 14.1 and do the quarter mile in 14.4 seconds. It was powered by the localy made Hemi 265ci in line 6 cylinder 6 pack, made in my home state of South Australia. Check out Chryslers on Murray at Wodonga on utube. It's the biggest Chrysler show in the Southern Hemisphere. There was a good mix of US and Aussie Mopars there in March 2024, there was about 900 cars there. We have some quality muscle cars and Hot rods here. Chip Foose and Dave Kindig would agree. Ken Smith's 69 green Barracuda is my favourite car on your video. My Charger has got the same cool flip top gas filler cap 🇺🇸🇦🇺

    I think they are all fantastic cars, but the green 69 barracuda is the one for me. The fastback styling and stripes I just like it. I know it's a 318 car, but you can cruise it and enjoy it know I could.

    They're all cool! For sheer power, that Hemi has them all beat obviously. However, I would probably go with the red Dart along with several of the 340 cars (Duster and Barracuda).

    I've got a '69 fastback barracuda with 340 4spd and honestly the most surprising thing about the car compared to other muscle cars I've had is just how small and light it is. The car feels lighter and smaller than nearly anything from the period. Coupled with a true '69 vintage high compression 340, it's a total beast. Love it. 'A' bodies are awesome.
    cheers.

  • @ThisValiantAdventure

    Not to be that guy, but you show a 2nd gen Barracuda and say the 1st gen of Barracudas were A Bodies. Technically the 1st gen Barracudas (1964-66) were “Early A Bodies”, so only the 2nd gen would be considered actual ABodies.
    Again, sorry for being that guy.
    Great video otherwise. I have a ‘71 Dart Swinger (Citron Yella) & a ‘66 Valiant Signet. Love A Body Mopars.
