The third-gen Dodge Charger from 1971 to 1974 is often overlooked compared to its previous generation. The example above is a top-of-the-line R/T model from 1971. Powering the '71 Charger R/T is a 440 cubic inch Magnum V8 producing 370 horsepower paired to a 4-speed manual gearbox. Also available with the Charger R/T for 1971 were the 440 Six-Pack and the 426 Hemi V8. 1971 also happened to be the last model year with a full performance Charger until Dodge revived the Charger as a full-size sedan in 2006. The R/T in 1971 was replaced by the Rallye the following model year, in which the Rallye wasn't as fast or as powerful as the R/T. Current values of the 1971 Dodge Charger R/T vary, but it is certainly one of the fastest appreciating classic American muscle cars. Overall, the '71 Charger R/T is a great and amazing muscle car that flies under the radar. However, I don't find it as cool as its predecessor from 1968-70 or as desirable as the current Charger Hellcat.
