Thanks to being such a styling masterpiece and coming with some of the most outrageous engines that Detroit ever offered, the 2nd gen Charger is the iconic muscle car.
And when it comes to American cars that the world knows due to the pervasive spread of American pop culture, the 2nd gen is LITERALLY the star car:
Bullitt: all-time best movie car chase—Editing Academy Award because of it.
Dirty Mary/Crazy Larry, Grand Theft Auto, The Dukes of Hazzard TV show, cartoon show, TV movies and feature movie, Supernatural, Billions, The Venture Bros., the Fast & Furious franchise, Universal’s all-time moneymaker, where a 2nd gen in the Toretto flicks is always the star car (sometimes more than one 2nd gen per F&F flick).
And the 2nd gen is the favorite ride of superheroes: Blade, Ghost Rider, and Batman’s latest Batmobile. So yeah, the 2nd gen Charger—the car that the whole world recognizes as quintessentially American.
And you can even go to your Dodge dealership today and place your order for a carbon fiber turnkey ‘70 Charger—so popular that they brought it back a half century later. It’ll only cost you half a million dollars.
I, for one, am shocked that this suggestion came from THE 1969 Dodge Charger fan.
