It was sold in two forms, the "XE" and the "GT" and was the last vehicle to use the long running Chrysler B platform . The appearance was somewhat of a rounded off Charger, and was in response to getting a car that would be eligible for NASCAR that would be more aerodynamic, something that the 1975 - 1978 Charger was not . Styling features included four rectangular headlights behind retractable clear covers, with narrow opera windows, and an optional T - bar or power sunroof . The Magnum was well - featured with power steering, brakes and seats; the suspension included Chrysler's standard adjustable, longitudinal torsion bars, lower trailing links, and front and rear anti-sway bars . The base engine was the 318 cu in (5.2 L) V8 with Lean - Burn, while two and four - barrel carbureted 360 cu in (5.9 L) and 400 cu in (6.6 L) V8s were optional; weight was nearly 3,900 lb (1,800 kg). </P>
