Good solid car, has the 318 V8, in my opinion one of dodge's better engines. Roomy, I wanted an old cruiser, and this car is perfect for that. The GT is what you want if you want more power and more of a muscle car look. I like it because its a great car to cruise in on the weekend's and I plan to pass this car down to one of my sons.Jul 23, 2014

Bought this car off the car lot in 1979 and have had it ever since. Love the looks and ride of this car, handles and rides very smoothly. Would have a hard time parting with this car if it came down to itMay 31, 2014

Been collecting these car since they were made! One of my friends had a Red/White GT (E58)t-top Magnum new back in 1979. He let me drive it and I fell in love with it! I now own a multitude of Magnum's and 300's. Best build B Body made. Think about it, it's the last year of the B's

Best car I've ever had, Ultra dependable and best riding on the
open highway. Great performance for a smog ridden 360-4bbl
V8. Probably the best styled car for its era with the cord grill and
covered lights, raised/sculpted side panels. Inside—full
instrumentation was included, not just a bunch of idiot lights
which really gave it full interactivity with the driver. Feb 09, 2011

Bought mine new with 79 miles. Loved the car, drove great. Great performance and handling overall. 1st generation lock up torque convertor burned up two trannys though. Also, had brake issues from the factory. One of the coolest looking cars I've ever owned.Apr 03, 2010

Too soon to tell, I just picked up the car last evening.
If Richard Petty drove one, I'm honored to now own one.

Has to be the “best looking” Magnum on the road today. Don't know why Dodge makes no reference to this Magnum when advertising the new Magnum. Kyle Petty made a name for himself early on while driving a Magnum. Dodge sold over 80K of these classics in two years while there was a fuel crisis going on. Not bad really. Search this car online and you will see what all the fuss is about.
Plus, this Classic Magnum came with many different exterior and interior color choices making some real eye catching combinations. Cars today are not offered this way. The interior colors of today are gray, black, and tan. Boring! Sep 08, 2007
