Okay Cederq, two whole pictorial posts on Dodge, that’s cool, so long as you keep it up with similar on the rest of the Mopar family. I’d like to open a barn door to find an old pickup like that one. I suspect that Leigh of New York state has locked himself in the bathroom with his phone so he can peruse vehicles with an attractive yet masculine style-line in their design features.
I’ve always liked the Road Runners, the rest of them, except for a 69 Charger R/T, never interested me much. I would take an old Challenger over a new one.
Parents had a Fury III, a Volarie, a Aspen wagon, and an old Valient convertible. Other than the wagon, I was rather young to remember much about the rest of them. Not very memorable.
Also, I don’t have a phone – shocking, I know.

I had a 1972 Plymouth Satellite the same color as the one in the picture except for the black band on the rear deck and I had Anson Sprint wheels and 60 series Firestones. It had a 340 Hemi with 750cfm Holly on it and it would scream! One of those cars ya wished you had kept…
Leigh, if Ford still sold their rebadged version of the Nissan Patrol, but with Henry’s 300c.i. straight six, I’d go for it myself.
In 1967, 2nd year auto shop, I was doing OJT at the local El Cajon, Ca. Dodge/Plymouth dealership. One morning my trainer said “Follow me”. Back in the bowels of the service bays was a 65-67(?) California Highway Patrol, Dodge Belvedere. Stripped interior, roll cage, racing seat, 426 Hemi, tall rear end ratio. It was their desert Porsche eater. Gettin’ serviced.
Back before the Prog’s killed the Golden State.
I like the M880 decked out in NATO Summer paint scheme.
I read that Dodge is going to stop making the Hemis. I blame California
That’s my Challenger….73 340 Top Banana Yellow but mine has a black vinyl top and better looking wheels. Bought it new and it was the family car for many years.
Chrysler Australia used Valiant as a brand name, rather than just for one model. They also sold rebadged Mitsubishis, like the Galant, but a slightly bigger four-pot car was the Centura. They were always keen to move cars out the door, so most every model could be ordered with the customer’s choice of engine, the gear ratios and final drive type and ratio, so long as it was Aussie-made or at least assembled in Adelaide from imported parts. You could get that little Centura with the 245 and 265c.i. Hemi straight sixes with cross-flow triple Webers, which made a staid little ‘sleeper’ into a rocket ship. That wasn’t the least, somehow the factory managed to shoehorn the 318 and 360 V8 donks in there too, but not the 340c.i. Those powerful V8 engines in a compact frame intended for 1.8 – 2.4 litre four-pot donks was just insane, but fun! The poor kids of today, stuck fiddling with their phone or tablet PCs!
