I own a '68 Charger 440 4 speed along with several 60's and 70's GTO's and a 68 396 Chevelle mixed in. I think a B body 68-70 Mopar is a great looking and with the right engine, a fast car. Their engines were built with good parts. Forged rods and forged crankshafts in the higher horse cars. They also have stout transmissions and rear ends. However, I agree that Mopars of that era were cheaply made. Everything about the way a GM A body is built is better in my opinion. The suspension, frame (or with Mopars, a lack of a frame), and especially the wiring are better. I don't know how many Mopars that I have seen over the years with a burned up Amp gauge. I don't know what it is about them but the sheet metal seem to be prone to rust problems, too. Moreso than Pontiacs, that's for sure. Having said that, I'll have a 68-70 B body Mopar in my garage sitting next to my Pontiacs any day of the week.
