Dodge's Forgotten Charger Of The 1980s...​

While many Mopar enthusiasts today connect the Charger nameplate with either the 1960s/1970s B-bodied muscle cars of the past or the modern four-door muscle sedan that we all have come to love, there is one generation of Charger that many tend to overlook. The fifth-generation L-body Charger was based on the subcompact front-wheel-drive architecture from the Dodge Omni and Plymouth Horizon. Originally, the Charger name returned on the L-body as an appearance package for the Omni O24 fastback in 1981. By 1983, Dodge rebadged the Omni O24 as the Charger since the performance package sold so well.

Speaking of the Charger, when are we going to see what is coming out for the 2022 Charger and Challenger's?
 
It's really a shame just how underappreciated these cars are. I have an '87 Shelby Charger that I'm currently restoring.
