Answer: 1969

This year of Charger was used in the show "The Dukes of Hazzard".

2. What is the name of this hood where the air scoops stick out of the top through a hole?

Answer: Shaker

The "Shaker" hood was a popular option in the 1970s. You probably see them most on Hemi Barracudas.

3. How many 340 four-speed 1973 Barracudas did Plymouth make?

Answer: 1,718

Plymouth only made 1,718 340 four-speed Barracudas in 1973. Now they're a collector's item.

4. Dodge and Plymouth built 1971 Chargers and Superbirds for NASCAR.

Answer: False

Dodge and Plymouth never built these cars because NASCAR had changed their rules. Although they did test them in wind tunnels in 3/8-scale.

5. When did Dodge stop building the fifth generation Charger in the U.S.?

Answer: 1987

Didn't see that one coming did you! To be honest, neither did I. In 1979 Chrysler launched two new sport hatchbacks, the Dodge Charger 2.2, and the Plymouth TC3 based on the Omni and Horizon. These cars weren't hard to spot, it was a return to the sports car for Chrysler. (kind of)The original base Charger had 84 hp but in 1985 a turbocharged model was released with 146 horsepower.

In 1987 both cars were discontinued, while the reign of the "real" American Dodge Charger ended in 1974, this was the official end to the model that kicked people in the behind and said, "Race me!" But then in 2006 the sixth generation model was launched, and the Charger was back in business.

6. What Dodge car was the Plymouth Barracuda equivalent?

Answer: Dodge Challenger

The Challenger was the Barracuda's Dodge twin. You can tell by the body shape and headlights.

7. How much horsepower did Chrysler's Hemi engine (1966-71) usually put out?

Answer: 425

Hemi engines were rated by Chrysler at 425 HP to keep insurance as low as possible, but the true rating was just over 500 HP! These were put in Chargers, Challengers, GTXs, Barracudas, and more!

8. Which car started Plymouth's muscle car lineup?

Answer: GTX

Before the GTX, Plymouth was considered a bland car manufacturer. Then came the GTX. Some people might consider the Barracuda to be Plymouths first muscle car. But it was a pony car to compete with the Mustang until the late 60's when both became muscle cars.

9. When did Dodge Chargers stop having flip-out lights?

Answer: 1973

Chargers stopped having flip-out lights in 1973, because Dodge now considered their muscle car a "family car."

10. Which one of these NASCAR drivers drove a Plymouth Superbird?

Answer: Richard Petty

Richard Petty drove the number 43 Plymouth Superbird. The Petty blue racing color was also an option on the public's Mopars.
