I've always been happy to compromise but nowadays some comprimises are just not realistic.
Unfortunately there weren't any later 71/72 RRs there but the earlier ones looked huge!
Really is narrowed down to 71 or 72 RR as I do like the curves

You might want to consider the73 roadrunner,always liked the revised front, plus they are cheaper to buy,and as far as i am aware now tax exempt,Yes must agree with Pete,i also have bought a number of E bodied cars over the years on looks alone,but the driving position is disapointing,compared with other mopars.

Sounds like I'm being fussy but I don't like them- the fronts to square for me
Glad I'm not the only one who puts "looks " high up the list of importance

Looks wise they don't really do it for me tbh and I don't think any earlier ones ive seen are the same layout as a later RR ?

Lay out as in driving position ???
I've sat in Carl's RR and it is a similar driving position to my Coronet ( in my opinion ). Think the Coronet has a more roomy feel.
Although considered a large car I find B body's very nice and easy to drive as far as 'normal ' driving conditions are concerned.
Only thing I find funny is the door mirror is totally useless really. Gives a good view of those lovely 'hips' though!!!

Didn't they change the wheelbase and length in 71?

Sorry.
Carl's is a 72 RR
My Coronet is a 68. I think the Coronet changed in 70-71.

So what about the Plymouth duster or Dodge demon? They are worth considering.
