Eric, at the end of the DUKES movie, you will see a montage of wrecks with the General Lee --- I suggest you leave before that starts LOL

Gotta go with the General. Granted the Bandit is one badarse looking car, but if im not mistaken that 6.6L is only making 175hp 
. Ill take a 426 or 440 Mopar over that wheezing piece of crap anyday.

Thats a Tough Call! I have Owned Both. I owned a 68,69 and 70 Charger in My Senior Year at High School. They were DIRT CHEAP back then. The 78 Trans Am I had in 1983. But I think My 71 440 Six Pak Challenger Looks Best out of all the Vintage Muscle cars I have had. I still have it BTW.

I fell in love with the 71 Challenger in the movie "Vanishing Point".
Take good care of yours.
Back to the thread...
I gave Bandit a sympathy vote.
Buddy of mine had a '77 back in the day.
Couldn't keep it out of the shop for more than two weeks at a time.

WOW. You had 1968, 1969 and 1970 Chargers AT THE SAME TIME? Do you still have either one of them? What was under the hood?

I really think I would take the Trans am. But that news about it only making 175hp is a real let down. I think it was bc yall all grew up watching the Dukes while i never saw it. I know Smokey and the Bandit was before my time, ( Im 18) but i still love it. I just get chills when i see the bandit push the accelerator and leave the smokeys behind.
