1976 Dodge Charger Reviews, Pricing & Specs
Write a review
With the energy crisis in full swing, high performance vehicles had gone by the wayside, replaced by a desire for luxury and comfort. One of the victims of this phenomenon was the Dodge Charger, which had transformed from a muscle car into a two-door Cordoba. Only offered as an SE in 1975, the 1976 Dodge Charger featured four trims -- base, Sport, SE, and Daytona. The base and Sport models had a different body from the SE and Daytona, and were to the 2-door Coronets. The SE now came standard with a 318 V8 instead of the 360, 5.9-liter engine, though the 360 and 400, 6.6-liter engine were still optional. The Daytona was the Charger's effort to evoke memories of its street racer heritage. As such, it was available with the 360 or 400 engine blocks, but at a maximum of 200-horsepower, it was basically the same old Cordoba, only with tape stripes.

performance wise this car is top quality as it puts out a fare amount of horse power(302z n if custom to about 572) it has atop speed of 200miles per hour and since it has such speed it has to have good braking too which is top quality.it has metal body n not fiberglass body so maintenance is needed at times because of rust problems.interior and exterior looks are awesome because it has classic leather bucket seats n it has a real mean look on the exterior.cost of a fully restored charger would be about 60 grand n mileage would be a bit high because of the high horsepower.fun factor about the car is that u can really rip it up on the drag strip with this baby.May 16, 2010
