Dodge Charger 3rd Gen by model year

The third-generation Dodge Charger debuted for 1971 with a completely new 'fuselage' body style. This new semi-fastback design was a major shift from the iconic second-gen cars. It also marked the beginning of the end for Mopar's golden age of performance. Due to tightening emissions regulations and rising insurance costs, 1971 was the last year for both the 426 Hemi and the 440 Six Pack engines, making these single-year cars the most sought-after of the generation.

Collector focus is almost entirely on the 1971 models. The R/T with a 440 or the ultra-rare Hemi stands at the top of the hierarchy, as does the Super Bee, a package which moved from the Coronet to the Charger for this one year only. Cars from 1972 to 1974 featured less aggressive styling and significantly detuned engines, with the largest 440 V8 making just 280 net horsepower by 1973.

Buying Tips

  • Rust is the biggest enemy. Check the rear quarter panels, trunk floor, frame rails, and the area around the vinyl top trim.
  • Authenticate high-performance models carefully. Genuine 1971 R/T and Super Bee cars should have a matching fender tag and ideally a build sheet. Clones are common.
  • The optional hideaway headlights are vacuum-operated and can be a source of problems. Ensure they open and close smoothly.
  • Be aware of the power drop-off after 1971. A 1973 440 is a different beast than a 1971 440 Six Pack, so confirm the engine's original specs for the year.
  • Examine the long body panels for waves and signs of poor bodywork. The 'fuselage' styling is unforgiving of bad repairs.
