By the time the 1970s rolled around, the Charger was still a very popular model and the R/T stood out from the crowd. The engine power had been increased at this point, although it was on the verge of the fuel crisis of the 1970s. The Charger R/T had a unique look to it and the styling was quintessential ’70s. Its 425HP output was a game changer when it came to the awe-inspiring performance of the car (via Autoweek).

By this point in time, the Charger was competing with the likes of the GTO and the Chevelle. The car had to perform to win at the race track and did just that. Enthusiasts were quite happy with the performance that the Charger was pumping out at the time and it became one of the most iconic models. To this day, the 1970 Charger is still one of the most popular models that ever rolled off of the assembly line.
