Leaving behind its earlier look, the 1971 Dodge Charger marked a turning point with a radical redesign. A shortened wheelbase and a distinctive new grille set the stage for this transformation, while the car’s now-famous curves embodied the essence of a classic muscle car.
While some may favor the 1969 model for its design, this restyled version proved just as successful, outselling its predecessor. The true appeal of these vintage Chargers lies in the abundance of legendary engines available.
Drivers could choose from a base 318 cubic inch V8 up to the mighty 440 Magnum V8 and the legendary 426 Hemi, ensuring there was a perfect powertrain for everyone.
