(1966) --Yeah I know it may not have been the peak year, but it was the beginning of the "Peaks Years", where most of the car makers were putting their bids in for King of the street-------------So the answer is "19___"

1970, the year of Yenko Deuce!

Umm... I don't need to explain my opinion, do I? However, 68 is my personal favorite year because of the new Mopar B body styling and the intro of the Charger R/T, Road Runner, and Super Bee. But yes, 69 was the peak IMO.

BTW, you forgot these:

1969
----

1. The Charger 500 is built, leading to the development of the Cyclone Spoiler II and Torino Talledega.
2. Dodge builds M-code 440 Darts because Mr. Norm did it in 68, one-upping the factory engineers by proving it could be done.
3. Plymouth answers Dodge with the 440+6 Road Runner.
4. The Dodge Dart Swinger bursts onto the low-buck compact musclecar scene packing the 275hp 340, surprising many big blocks on the street.

1970
----

1. Plymouth builds the Road Runner Superbird to compete with the Dodge Charger Daytona and bring Richard Petty back from Ford.
2. The 440 Six Pack is made available in all B and E body performance cars (except AARs and T/As).
3. Plymouth introduces their budget screamer: the Duster 340.
4. The AMC Rebel Machine debuts.

Sorry to be so Mopar lop-sided, but you nailed down the significant Brand X cars pretty good.
