produced by Dodge from 1966 to 1978, and was based on the Chrysler
B platform.
The 1971 model year introduced the third generation Charger,
characterized by a new split grille and more rounded "fuselage"
bodystyle.

of improvements to help it maintain its muscle car attitude. The
list of performance improvements is extensive and compliments the
black paint scheme and interior too.
