Everybody is entitled to an opinion. It is a basic fundamental right in any country not run on the highly flawed North Korean model. We're all about cars at MSCC and we have strong- make that really strong- opinions about cars. And we think we are right all of the time. It's a dangerous combination.

Today we want to talk about the early generation Chargers that gave the Dodge Boys something very special in the mid 60s to mid70s. The 1966 and 67 models were basically tricked-out Coronets with an exotic rear roof line and hide-away highlights. They were a stylish model that was an acquired taste for some car guys. We liked them-a lot. The 66 and 67s looked good on the street and would roast the competition when Dodge stuck an elephant under the hood. The 1966 426 Hemi is reputed to be the baddest factory monster ever stuck under a hood, and who are we to argue with that notion?

But the Charger became perfect in 1968. The lines got a looks- fast-standing-still makeover that was never surpassed by any Charger before (or since) that iconic 1968 beauty. The front grille was perfect and the rear deck was better than perfect. In between was a body flow that hit the high water mark for the fastback look that was a major component of the late 60s Detroit philosophy. It was true that the 1968 Charger was a handsome street machine, but nobody would have called it just another pretty face.

The 1968 Charger was a warrior and it had a macho appeal that oozed testosterone, especially when a Mopar big block was mated with a four speed in an unholy street alliance. Nobody really wanted to tangle with a car that looked so good being real bad on the street. One of the best car chases in movie history starred a 1968 Charger in the classic Steve McQueen flick 'Bullitt'. We have to be honest about the movie though: Nobody actually remembers the story-line; we only remember the chase scene. It's all about priorities.

The black 1968 Charger driven by the bad guys should have won an Academy Award for best-looking actor in that movie. Then it should have won an acting award because it had to make people believe that an out-gunned Mustang could actually run with it on the street. That's Hollywood for you.

We believe that the 1968 Charger was the model's finest hour. We are not alone in this belief but, as stated earlier, everybody is entitled to an opinion. The post-68 Chargers were also good-looking cars, but they were also a little like Michael Jackson. They took the cosmetic surgery past the point of no return and never came back to the original look. Neither the car nor the entertainer was ever the same, and the nose was never as good on either. But at least the car's nose stayed on longer.

We also like to take on non-car issues on a regular basis on our daily blog because it makes us look a lot smarter than we really are. Plus you can insult a car guy about his taste in music or movies but never hack on his car-those guy always have tire irons handy.

It's fun, it's occasionally controversial and it draws women into the site-we're like an automotive beer commercial we need the women in the picture to make it interesting.

But we're still going to talk about 57 Chevys and vintage Mustangs.

The Sale of Chrysler Ag is Still a Loss on Daimler

No matter how much Daimler stressed that it has become stronger but still it simply cannot deny the fact that it has lost something when it let go of Chrysler. And that is with regards to the chance to offer more globally competitive products.

Chrysler together with its subset brands Dodge, Mopar producer of top-of-the-line Dodge Dakota performance parts, and Jeep embodies not just a lot of history but more of a history of innovation. The Jeep for instance is an iconic brand trusted and known worldwide.

It can be remembered that the year 1970 was a critical year for Chrysler. It was also on that same year when Chrysler revived the convertible which was previously put off due to lots of safety concerns. Luckily, Lee Iacocca dubbed savior of Chrysler has introduced the minivan and invented a new mass market.

Although some may not agree but the Jeep Cherokee was the catalyst for the sport utility revolution that dominated the 1990s. The best thing about Chrysler is that it has the ability to take an idea from a theoretical stage and brought it to production without necessarily making the process difficult.

It was also in the year 1990 when Chrysler’s Dodge division introduced a brutish chrome-laden Ram pickup that redefined what a full-size pickup could be. The trademark ram emblem together with the unmistakable grille has become the symbols of Dodge.

After reproducing the street rod Prowler designers have turned their attention to another revered hot-rod template the delivery van and turning it into the unmatched PT Cruiser. Unlike, the two-seater Prowler, the Cruiser is roomy and very affordable. It also provides an unlimited palette of colors and options.

Chrysler has also a way of revising vehicle concepts which other automakers may consider as obsolete or a thing of the past. Take for instance large sedans which are associated with a bygone era. Chrysler was not afraid to revive such concept when it creates a Bentley-like 300 with design that is so bold it’s just hard not to notice it. The 300 was even chosen by Motor Trend as its 2005 Car of the Year. The segment that was considered dead was given a new meaning by Chrysler 300.

Last year when Chrysler needed a replacement for its entry-level Neon, it introduced the Caliber which is a cross between a compact car and a small SUV that offers excellent fuel efficiency, innovative styling, and brilliant accessories like the ChillZone beverage-cooling bonus glove box together with a flip-down stereo speakers found on the rear liftgate.

Chrysler has also introduced the Pacifica, which is a wagon that combines traits of sedan, SUV, and minivan. It is fuel efficient and powered by a 4 liter V6 engine that revs up 253 horsepower and 265 foot pounds of torque. The Pacifica is a comfortable and responsive but expensive for a Touring version with price at $31,095.

The Pacifica is offered in front-wheel or all-wheel-drive and presents a solution for drivers who don’t want to be regarded as a threat to the environment but still prefer the capacity and versatility found on SUVs.

With regards to power and performance, Chrysler has made a remarkable marketing move by bringing back the Hemi engine which is a trusted name among car aficionados. Although Chrysler has contributed so very little when it comes to hybrid powered vehicles but it has done some vital work in the production of diesel and alternative-fuel vehicles.

In 1990s, Chrysler has broke new ground with the AutoStick, which is a transmission that can be operated as automatic or manual. Despite the shifter has ended as a fad but it has become a common option across almost all product lines. Chrysler has also led the domestic car industry in terms of the use of air bags as safety devices, which became a common feature in minivans, trucks, and SUVs. These are just some of the achievements that Chrysler Group has achieved.

And it’s invigorating to know that the former US Treasury Secretary John W. Snow, Chairman of Cerberus has professed his company’s commitment to Chrysler AG saying, "Cerberus believes in the inherent strength of U.S. manufacturing and of the U.S. auto industry. Most importantly, we believe in Chrysler."

does any one know or have any idea?

what a 1970 plymouth roadrunner is worth...this one has been stored for years and is in very good condition...it has a 440 hemi engine and a good interior...lots of old chrome on the engine and it says MOPAR on the air cleaner...body is in excellent shape and good paint too...so if anyone has an idea how much its worth i would love to sell it.

There's no established "price guide" for the endless variety of older and antique used vehicles as their value is so wholly subjective and dependent upon so many variables including whatever happens to be popular at any given moment in time.

The best way to determine its value would be to draw a consensus from any similar vehicles being offered for sale. Web sites dedicated to older and "classic" vehicles like oldride.com, AutoTrader Classic, and others are likely to provide you with come comparative examples, but given that so much is dependent upon things like the particular rarity of a trim level or color, engine type, serial number matching, and other often-arcane criteria, the best you will be able to derive is like to be a possible value range rather than a specific price.

A quick scan of oldride.com shows 1970 Roadrunners varying in asking prices from $4,500 all the way up to $90,000.

Best of luck. I hope this helps.
