Plus they could be had anywhere from taxi spec up to those late ones with the luxury interiors (Brougham, were they called?) and the available 318. When I was a teenager we all wanted one of the fastback ones with the stripes and the bucket seats.
I had a 74 Valiant and a 71 Dart. Both with the slant 6... incredibly tough engine.

Buddy of mine had the Demon version of the Dart. Still had the 225 engine though, so he wasn't quite as cool as he could have been...
