I just saw a classic car and need help remembering the model.

I dont have a pic, but the rear window was very unique.

I think it was a Chrysler car from around 1969 or 1970.

The rear window was fastback-style. The car resembled an El Dorado, but was not.

Any help?

I would love a pic from google

Thanks

[Former MSM Viewer]

what kind of car from around 1970 had a fastback style rear window? I think it was a chrysler or plymouth...

[razzle9251]

Baracuda?

[acoulterfan]

Sounds like the 66 or 67 Doge Charger or Plymouth Barracuda. Both of these cars changed style in 70.

[Doogle]

I’ll guess..barracuda?..or possibly tornado

[Know et al]

Baracuda?

I was thinking barracuda but didn't they make a challenger about that time also?

[KrisKrinkle]

Since you have “television” down as the source, where/on what show did you see it?

toronado was an oldsmobile...

that may be it...still looking for a pic of the rear window

[BOBWADE]

The series the fall guy used to show a 66 charger in the opening intro.

[BOBWADE]

My dad had a 66 charger. what a car!

[Former MSM Viewer]

the rear window was split left & right...wasnt flat as in this pic...

[Doogle]

torando?

[acoulterfan]

I had a 66 Charger. 19 feet long. Originally a 383 but put a 440 bbl in it. Oceanic Green with White interior. Only sat 4 persons and was 19 feet long. The console went all the way back from the front seats. I miss it. Only got 9 MPG.

TV show is called LIFE on NBC right now...they had a scene with 3-4 old classic cars pulled up to a house to do a drug deallll

[ThreePuttinDude]

Some thing like this?

[popdonnelly]

Corvette Stingray or the original Buick Riviera.

[uglybiker]

Correction. The Charger (along with all B and C bodies) changed in '68.

'66 Charger


'68 Charger

[jimmyray]

Was it a 67-69 Barracuda?

[Former MSM Viewer]

Is that a Firebird and a GTO in the background?

[Doogle]

riveria..oh yeah that may be it too

[txhurl]

Is that a Galaxy 500 in the background? That was a bitchin car, but not as good as our ‘70 goat.

[acoulterfan]

69 Barracuda had the fast back but went to the E-Body in 70 which was the Cuda verson.

My brother had that 66 Barracuda. Very nice. car. Often wondered what the replacement cost would be for that piece of glass...

[uglybiker]

Chrysler didn’t have anything with a split window during that time.

[Richard Kimball]

I loved that car. First time I ever got laid was in the back of one like that, except it was black with white stripes. Back seat folded down. That was back when people were polite enough to stay away from the back four rows at the drive in movie.

[acoulterfan]

The Chrysler Hemi Engine was introduced in the 66 Dodge Charger.

[uglybiker]

Firebird on the left. Bonneville or Catalina on the right.

[Former MSM Viewer]

looking up old Rivieras...might be that...

rear window looked peaked down the middle...almost like two pieces atabouta 20 degree angle...

[Richard Kimball]

Now I feel out of place. Everybody else is talking about what was under the hood, and I was only concerned with what went on in the back seat.

[acoulterfan]

I have a back glass for the 66 and 67 Charger in my garage if you know anyone that needs one. Now the window gasket is going to be hard to find, LOL.

[Dallas59]

The only one I can think of with a split rear window is a 67 Vett...

[popdonnelly]

Sorry, not the original Riviera, but the 1971 to 1973 model.

[TheBattman]

Self-ping for later

[acoulterfan]

Dodge Chargers and Plymouth are CHRYSLER!

[BOBWADE]

here is another fastback

[acoulterfan]

Corrections Plymouth Barracuda is Chrysler.

[TheBattman]

71 Riviera didn't have a split window either:

[uglybiker]

The CArger was the flagship, anyways.

It was also available in all the B body cars. That way they could go NASCAR racin'.

A good MOPAR dealer could get you a hemi in almost anything you wanted. There is record of several hemi powered four door sedans and at least two pickups.

[mamelukesabre]

No.

The 426 hemi may have been introduced in the 66 charger.

But there were other hemi motors in the early fifties and even before that.

[acoulterfan]

That looks like a Dodge Medallion on the deck lid but not sure what this model is.

[Attention Surplus Disorder]

“The Chrysler Hemi Engine was introduced in the 66 Dodge Charger.”

I thought the Hemis first came in with the Chrysler 300 circa early fifties!

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Chrysler_Hemi_engine

[Swanks]

LOL. The closest I can get to that, is a family member has a 73 Dodge Challenger. 23,000 mi on it too..

[mamelukesabre]

AMC had several cars with a fastback. Marlin, javalin, AMX...

[acoulterfan]

“But there were other hemi motors in the early fifties and even before that.”

But were they different from the 426? I believe so. Correct me if I am wrong. Were they 393 by chance?

[Dallas59]

Describe the tail lights. Round? Rectangular? Small?

[Former MSM Viewer]

what the heck car is this?

[Zman516]

It looks like a ‘65 GTO to me.
