Check out the Classic Dodge Magnum, the 1978 and 1979 Dodge Magnum XE & GT. The True Dodge Magnum.

Some Magnums may experience a creek or grunt when applying the brakes with the wheels turned to the left (mainly).
There is a TSB for this although it's not a big deal. DCC recommends changing the tension strut. This does not always fix the problem. They must also check all torques on fasteners in the steering system. The steering rack, tie rod ends, bushings and ball joints must also be inspected depending on the mileage. The noise may also be intermittent and temperature dependant.
Drivability is not affected.
With a stock front end, the steering feel is noticeably different in temperatures below -10 deg. C. This is more noticeable on some cars/manufacturers than others. The LX platform (magnum/charger) is stiff and quiet in the cold. Poly bushings and proper torques will make the car handle better and keep the suspension quiet - at any temperature. The only drawback is the stiffer ride that some may not like.

They probably are dealers for Ford as Ford makes nothing, but garbage vehicles (aside from the f-150).
Chrysler and GM are doing a descent job with their styling and they have improved on reliability. Ford is just a crap company that is lucky to still be alive."
Funny.
A little over 2 years later and Ford is the only company that didn't get bailed out. Doing pretty good for such a crap company. :)
