I like them all. I've always had a thing for Dusters, more broadly for Plymouth. (I can't give you a specific reason) So the Dusters would top my list. If money were not an issue, the Go Mango version would be in my driveway. Thanks for the video. BTW, is that some Kenny Wayne I hear in the background?

[@TheMoparChannel]

Thanks for your input Gary. I couldn’t agree with you more. Big fan of the Duster myself, as it was my first car. The music that’s used in my videos have to be royalty free so it’s probably not who you think it is. Thanks again for watching

I have an A Body Chrysler Charger with a 360 La engine. They made them in Australia from 1971 to 78. I don't think too many people in the US know they even exist. Not many cars down under had big blocks. Nice video I love them all 😊

[@TheMoparChannel]

That’s crazy! An A body Charger! Thanks for sharing that is very interesting information, and thanks for watching!

[@CliftonHood-l3h]

The A Body Australian Charger was popular in New Zealand, Its based on the Valiant but a 2 door. It was designed by Bob hubbach, Bob also helped design the Dodge Viper. The 1972 Charger R/T E49 was the fastest Aussie production car down the quarter mile. It could beat the Ford Falcon 351 V8 and the Holden Monaro (GM) 350. The R/T could go from 0-100 MPH in 14.1 and do the quarter mile in 14.4 seconds. It was powered by the localy made Hemi 265ci in line 6 cylinder 6 pack, made in my home state of South Australia. Check out Chryslers on Murray at Wodonga on utube. It's the biggest Chrysler show in the Southern Hemisphere. There was a good mix of US and Aussie Mopars there in March 2024, there was about 900 cars there. We have some quality muscle cars and Hot rods here. Chip Foose and Dave Kindig would agree. Ken Smith's 69 green Barracuda is my favourite car on your video. My Charger has got the same cool flip top gas filler cap 🇺🇸🇦🇺

[@wyattbeal6058]

The 1971 demon is my choice I love the color the body style and the absolute unit under the hood. love the videos.

[@TheMoparChannel]

Thanks Wyatt, I can see you in that car! Thanks for your support my man!

[@D64-g8l]

I still have my 70 Duster 340 4 spd hemi orange from back in the day , and I expect I will be buried in her ....we have a love affair like no other . If you have a Duster you would understand. Never get tired of viewing these great mopars ! MOPAR OR NO CAR !

[@TheMoparChannel]

My first car back in 86 was a 70 340 Duster. It is what started my love for Mopars. To this day my favorite! Thanks for sharing!

[@D64-g8l]

Dusters are my most favorite had 3 of them back in the day . MOPAR OR NO CAR !!

[@michaelserrurier9392]

Mopar or slow car.

[@TheMoparChannel]

Same! My first car was a 70 340 auto back in 86. Loved them ever since!

[@michaelroberts6450]

I think they are all fantastic cars, but the green 69 barracuda is the one for me. The fastback styling and stripes I just like it. I know it's a 318 car, but you can cruise it and enjoy it know I could.

[@TheMoparChannel]

The interior of that car is especially cool as well. Thanks for your input Michael!

[@Red-rl1xx]

They're all cool! For sheer power, that Hemi has them all beat obviously. However, I would probably go with the red Dart along with several of the 340 cars (Duster and Barracuda).

[@TheMoparChannel]

Thanks Red, always appreciate your support and feedback

[@guitarsmusclecars7890]

There all bad ass rides. From someone owning a71duster drag car and a 67 gtx street strip car I've always loved b body's the best

[@r.hill.2369]

Some fine heritage there. Nice video friend!

[@TheMoparChannel]

Agreed! Thanks Hill !!

[@deals360]

340 Duster is my pick. I have wanted one of these for over 25 years now. Never have the money when a deal shows up.

[@TheMoparChannel]

My first car was a 70 340 Duster. It’s been Mopar or NOcar for me every since

[@jason-hy8ci]

Very good production...... Liked the Slide/Harp jam for the 71' Yellow dart. 🧨 LOVE the '67 Barracuda! Didn't realize how much it looks like a R R.

[@TheMoparChannel]

Much appreciated Jason, and thanks for watching

[@paulblack3608]

I've got a '69 fastback barracuda with 340 4spd and honestly the most surprising thing about the car compared to other muscle cars I've had is just how small and light it is. The car feels lighter and smaller than nearly anything from the period. Coupled with a true '69 vintage high compression 340, it's a total beast. Love it. 'A' bodies are awesome. cheers.

[@TheMoparChannel]

Agreed! Thanks for sharing Paul!

[@fobbitoperator3620]

My dream car is a C-Body, 1970 2 door Fury III, or 300. Love those land-yahts!

[@steveewing9679]

Uh. 69 hemi dart or cuda after that grand Spalding dodge 440 dart then the 383 dart or cuda then any 340 or 360 dodge and Plymouth made

[@barrickbjjtechniques9091]

A lot of nice cars!

[@TheMoparChannel]

Thanks for your support Barrick

[@Eddie-di6eb6cv8v]

Love those A bodies! Mine is a 1972 real H code 340 four speed in Basin Street Blue. Completely restored it from the ground up. Finished in 1995. Always puts a smile on my face when I drive it.

[@TheMoparChannel]

Thanks for sharing Eddie, much appreciated!

[@MoParRus340]

My personal favorite would be 68 Dart GTS. Close second is 69 notch back Barracuda. I had a twin to that 69 Swinger you showed.

[@TheMoparChannel]

Thanks for sharing your thoughts Rus340, much appreciated!!

[@scoop-pm7lk]

1968 Dart GTS for me

[@kenkellar]

I am a original owner of a 1970 duster 340, 4 speed, 3.55 posi rear and black top. I ordered the car. It has 33,000 miles on the odometer. The color is B5 blue. Never been restored. Original brakes and exhaust.

[@TheMoparChannel]

Very Cool! Thanks for sharing Ken

[@powerwagon3731]

68 Dart, 340, 833a 4 speed!

[@lancenutter1067]

68 barracuda notchback with a 340. Would love to own that car. Had a 67 back in my youth. 68 had better front end and, I loved the round turn signals on the fenders.

[@TheMoparChannel]

Thanks for sharing Lance

[@jackattackgaminggrampaw8162]

All great Mopars..but top of mine 67 and 68 barracuda..and vitamin c duster...

Thanks Mr Chrysler, miss you brother!

[@bryantschell5981]

Cool cars

Thanks for watching Bryant!

[@roberthill2219]

My daily is '72 Valiant... I sold my EK2 '70 Duster 340 last year... but that '67 383 notch is wicked... I've had almost everything in my life but a '67-'69 Barracuda... my next car...

[@TheMoparChannel]

My first car was a 70 340 Duster. It’s what started my love for Mopar. The 67 Notch is mine today. That’s cool as hell your daily driver is an old school Valiant! I’d like to have one as a driver as well. Thanks for sharing Robert

[@roberthill2219]

@@TheMoparChannel In reality, I should have kept the 68 'GTX and sold the wife.

[@psa10hunter94]

68 fastback❤ looking for a A-body cuda as we speak.

[@Ronnie_Kirkpatrick]

I have funny a body story. This old guy by the name of Billy west in NC was long time friend. He sold parts. Raced sold car body’s. Mopar guy ! He once said “ I’ve never had an A body guy ever pull a $100 bill out to pay me for anything”. 😂

[@TheMoparChannel]

Thanks for sharing Ronnie!

[@AntiZOGZone]

I'll take a A Body Plymouth Barracuda Notch Back 67-69 or a A Body 67-69 Dodge Dart 2dr hardtop.

[@JoeFilardi]

hi i like the 71 hemi demon but not as a drag car . did not like the interior in it . also i like the 2 duster one had a 318ci in which you can stroke to a 390ci instead and the 340ci duster look good to.

[@iamnoone.]

66 dodge dart gt

[@nobody_special]

Really tough choice. Probably gonna go with the green 69 Cuda 318, but the red 69 Dart 340 at the beginning would be a close 2nd.

[@TheMoparChannel]

Thanks as always nobody, always appreciate your opinion

[@jeffrowlette]

I have a 1968 Barracuda Notch-Back....sublime green, 495hp stroker 😁 My choice was made long ago 👍

[@TheMoparChannel]

The Barracuda Notches are sweet !

[@bigroller8233]

67 - 69 Plymouth Valiant.

The 70 duzter so far

Thanks for watching Todd

[@Ronnie_Kirkpatrick]

My 72 duster has 426 hemi 4 speed. I’m not big a body fan. But it’s ok

[@TheMoparChannel]

Hemi 4 speed Duster!!! Don’t hear about many of those!

[@Ronnie_Kirkpatrick]

@@TheMoparChannel mine is a pro stock car built by pettys for 1972. Roy hill drove it

[@luissantiago7525]

Like the 71 Twister I own a 74 Twister in FJ6

[@TheMoparChannel]

Cool!! You dont see many of those!

[@toddrichardson9256]

It would be a 1972 Dodge Dart the reason for my choice was because it was my first car it was a ugly brownish greenish color and slant 6 would give my I teeth to have that car back 😊

[@ThisValiantAdventure]

Not to be that guy, but you show a 2nd gen Barracuda and say the 1st gen of Barracudas were A Bodies. Technically the 1st gen Barracudas (1964-66) were “Early A Bodies”, so only the 2nd gen would be considered actual ABodies. Again, sorry for being that guy. Great video otherwise. I have a ‘71 Dart Swinger (Citron Yella) & a ‘66 Valiant Signet. Love A Body Mopars.

[@TheMoparChannel]

You are absolutely correct. That was my actual car that I incorrectly called a first gen!! Thanks for watching, I appreciate your feedback

[@ThisValiantAdventure]

@@TheMoparChannel beautiful Barracuda, sir. Notchbacks are so underrated.

[@TheMoparChannel]

Thank you!

[@scottwhitmire6577]

Your opening of "The 1st Generation Barricuda " ... Nope.

[@TheMoparChannel]

That was a big fail on my part!! Haha that’s even my car, and I knew better! A lot goes into the production of these videos, and I missed that one. Thanks for the fact check Scott
