I always hated them.....then recently they really started to grow on me...

I don't know what changed in me but I'm really loving them now!

How do you guys feel about them? !

I've always liked them. The 71 B bodies are my favorites.
 
I've always liked the 71's Plymouths, the rest ... so-so I guess. But I agree, they've grown on me too. I'm still partial to the '71 Plymouths. I'd like to get a '71 Satellite. I actually saw one the other day with a /6 and 3 on the tree. How unique is that !
 
71charger R/T & 72 charger Ralley my favorite b-bodies, always have been.
Love the 71 GTX & 71-72 road runner too.
I wish I could afford 1 of each
 
Always liked them.

Growing up, I had a friend with a 72 Roadrunner (400/727) and another whose family bought a 73 Roadrunner (400/727) new as their family car. Later on, the same friend who once owned the 72 'Runner bought a 71 Satellite Sebring Plus (318/904) to relive the memories.

And I have a 73 Sebring Plus (400/727), myself.
 
My dream car is the 71 charger r/t. June 1996 Mopar action magazine.
Plum crazy with monochromatic bumpers, black full vinyl top, scarf stripe flat black, ram charger hood, 15×7 Rallye wheels, white interior, hemi 4 speed, window louvres & front-rear spoilers.
Oh and dark argent tail light housings.
Not to get to picky but power windows too
 
My very first car...still have it! 1974 Satellite Sebring Plus...I was never looking for one at the time, I wanted a Duster but the price was right...$1600 :D

After owning it for almost 30 years, I wouldn’t ever sell it! I really like the 71-74 cars...especially the 1972 Road Runner or Rallye Charger

I mean, how do you not like a car that can run 295's on all 4 corners with no body modifications at all? '71 was the year for me, A-bodies, B-bodies, E-bodies whatever.

I do NOT care for the 71's, 72's not so bad, 73's ??

The reality for me is, my all time favorite car was my 70RR and I can't afford anything in that line. Too many buy up satellite/ Belvederes and try and turn them into "wing" cars.
 
I love em. My buddy has a 71 GTX, it’s a beautiful car, just beautiful. They look mean, and classy at the same time.
 
I would like to own a '71 Plymouth B-body, they are amazing. I love the front loop bumper and fuselage body.
But they are quiet rare here in France, and in Europe in general. :(
A and E-bodies are relatively more common
 
The 71-2 Plymouth are some of my favorites and have owned several. Have a 72 Satellite Sebring Plus with 440 now.
Funny cause back in the 70's when I drove a 69 Charger I didn't like the 71 and up cars. I fell in love in the 90's with the 71-2 mainly the Plymouths but have owned several Chargers too.

I know as I got older I began to see the art in each model. The design. Art.
I have always liked the shape. I like the C pillow of the Ply and that same shape on the later Charger/ My fav was a 73 04 was it 4 400 4 speed Charger, not the Rallye but a base Charger.
These B bodies of that era have gotten sought after and good one are not cheap anymore!
