The mid-late-1970s isn’t everyone’s idea of nirvana as far as muscle cars go. Or, just cars, in general. This 1977 Dodge Charger Daytona is one great-looking car, at least condition-wise. Whether a person likes this era of Charger (or the new one) or not is the subject for a 1,200-page thesis. This car is posted on Craigslist in the Fraser Valley area of British Columbia, Canada with an asking price of $6,950.

I don’t like using the term Malaise Era because like Flux-Capacitor for DeLoreans or Fix It Again Tony for Fiats, it seems to be the go-to thing to say whenever a vehicle from this era is shown. I didn’t experience bad vehicles in this era, other than a 1976 Dodge Ramcharger that was the worst vehicle that I have ever owned. No, scratch that, a brand new 2011 Mini Cooper was thee worst, the Ramcharger wasn’t on the back of a tow truck several times like the Mini was.

The seller says about this Charger Daytona: “Original owner, excellent condition and runs well with all service records.” It doesn’t get much better than that, does it? One owner? Excellent condition? Nice. Even more good news is that it’s “Accident free, garage kept.” The Charger came roaring back, sort of, for the 1975 to 1977 model years as basically a rebadged Chrysler Cordoba. The Daytona package was all show and no go, even though a 190-hp 400 V8 would have been available.

There are no engine photos of this car, but it has a 318 cubic-inch V8 with somewhere around 140 hp, or what a slant-six would have had a few years before this era. The interior of this car looks great, from the two photos that are included in the listing. I have come to expect most online ads to not have enough photos, and it seems like things are getting worse, not better. You would think that with almost everyone having a smart phone in their pocket, that there would be almost too many photos in ads, not a lack of photos which is more often than not the case. If I only had a nickle for every time that I thought or said that, wow. But, even with a lack of photos, this ’77 Charger Daytona looks like a great example.
