1979 Dodge Magnum: The Forgotten Last B-Body Mopar | Full History & Features

Описание: The 1979 Dodge Magnum is one of the most overlooked Mopars of the late 1970s. As one of the final B-body cars Dodge ever built, the Magnum combined personal luxury styling with classic Mopar V8 power — offering a comfortable ride, aggressive looks, and surprising performance for an era dominated by emissions regulations.

With its hidden headlights, long hood, fastback roofline, and optional 360 V8, the Magnum stood out in a crowded field of personal luxury coupes. Though it lived a short life from 1978–1979, the Magnum has become a rare and interesting piece of Dodge history — especially among fans who appreciate the final years of big, rear-wheel-drive Mopar coupes before the downsized 1980s arrived.
