1976/77 Dodge Charger Daytona

You are probably familiar with the original Dodge Charger Daytona from 1969, a big coupe based on the Dodge Charger. It featured a pointy nose and a massive rear wing. Because Dodge designed it for racing in NASCAR, they produced only 500 cars (via Hagerty).

Less than 10 years after the memorable Daytona, Dodge decided to use the name again. However, this time it was on the Dodge Charger, which was basically a Chrysler Cordoba. It was a big, two-door personal luxury coupe with no muscle car credentials whatsoever. The move was not well received. The Cordoba had a lame 145 hp V8 engine. It focused more on luxury and a well-appointed interior than on looks, performance, or driving dynamics.
