Some of us have had this Mopar bug for a looooong time. Haha. Ya'll are killin me. Had a 71 Charger in high school 78-81. Had most all that **** at one time or another. Couldn't afford Jensen I had Audiovox triax's. Aluminum slots with N50s. Poor 318 had a hard time spinning them so I re routed my windshield washer to point at the back tires for some killer burnouts. Who had a severely dented header tube? You know what I mean??????

Man, what about baby moons, dice door lock knobs, graphic equalizer, door mounted speakers, 10-4 good buddy, wolfman Jack sideburns, don't get me started on tube tops, hip huggers and hot pants. Those package tray mounted speakers would hinge up to allow access to the trunk and the vent door could hide a 6 pack. Oops did I say that?

I ordered one of these to put on my Barracuda but once it arrived and my wife saw it, she was so upset that I would put a sticker like that on my car that I had to leave it on the shelf. I thought it was cool, she thought it was very vulgar and totally unacceptable.
I explained to her that everybody used stickers like this one (and worse) in the 60s.....the more I talked the angrier she got...and as we all know, If momma ain't happy nobody's happy!!!

Raised white letter tires (and, for mid 80s, mount the letters inboard so you're showing blackwalls :))

Mallory dual point distributor (with an extra set of points in the glove box for when they fail)

Chrome open element air cleaner
 
My buddy wants to change the high beams on his 66 Coronet over to amber lenses because that's what all the racers did back in the day.
