Few changes for the 1977 Dodge Charger, which was a two-door mid-sized coupe built on a Cordoba frame. The 1977 Charger dropped its base and Sport models, whose body was basically absorbed into the new Monaco line.

The SE and Daytona models remained, with either a standard 318 V8, TorqueFlite auto transmission, or the optional 360, 5.9-liter, 180-hp or 200-hp engine (depending on either the 2-barrel or 4-barrel carburetor), and the top of the line 400, 6.6-liter, 190-hp engine. Cosmetically, the 1977 Charger got a redesigned grille.

Though not as attractive, and frankly more boring than the old Chargers, owners liked the dependability of the new Charger line, particularly the quiet ride provided by its strong suspension system.

"Overall, drivers have a fondness for the 1977 Dodge Charger, appreciating its powerful engines and classic styling. Many loved the ride quality and handling, particularly on highways. However, some drivers noted concerns about underperformance, especially with the 360 engine, and issues like transmission failures and the lean burn system. Despite these drawbacks, the Charger remains a beloved vehicle for many who cherish its nostalgic value."

Bought at 39,000 miles. Car was still tight, and handled well. Original 360 2-bbl had been sold, so I took the 400 out of my '76 Chrysler Cordoba and put that in it. Car was two tone, with Black over silver paint, and Dodge Daytona graphics on the sides. Black Leather interior, 3-spd auto on the floor. An all around nice car, and very powerful with the 400.
