American Muscle: Dodge Charger R/T - Cars News

Despite being more expensive than some of its rivals, the Charger R/T sold extremely well and it helped to firmly make Dodge a player in the muscle car era. Dodge's Charger nameplate is one with a complicated history, but the important period to concentrate on for the purposes of discussing the classic muscle car is the 1966-1978 B-body Charger, and really the '66-'74 body style to further refine it. Chrysler, and Dodge in particular was slow to react when compared to Chevrolet and Ford to the changes in the performance vehicle market during the Sixties, but it has to be said that once they did finally catch on, the cars they produced were very much competitive.
