Just saw a youtube reel for a Plymouth Duster, can't forget that one in the Chevelle/GTO family car kind of musle car bodystyle (as opposed to the long hood/short back deck Mustang/Camaro style of muscle car):

Javelin is a great name I think, and it was a pretty decent car as I recall.

Well you would know, didn't you invent the javelin way back when?

I like creative names for autos.  I dislike calling a car "CTS" or CT5".  Call it an Arrow or something.

The old Chevy method of using beach names in CA was neat.

I suppose the Dodge Viper sort of competed against the Corvette? 
I think MOPAR was then, and still is, leaning heavily into the muscle car idea.

The Viper was the muscle car of sports cars... All engine; hope you can control it.

Scared the hell out of me.

Never drove it again.

My one auto accident was being on the receiving end of a 911.  The driver had JUST bought it, the salesman was in the car with him, he lost it on a sharp corner and hit me.  I suspect he didn't appreciate the rear engine weight distribution and impact on understeer.

And maybe he was in the wrong gear.  I was on a lunch date, probably 1971.

Kind of reminds me of the Dukes of Hazard car (the General Lee?), but I think that might have been a Charger.  But, I'm not the one to know something like that.

Yup, the General Less was a 1969 Dodge Charger.



The Charger was a little bigger than the Dart, which was actually pretty small by 1970 muscle car standards.
