Dodge Challenger
Dodge Challenger was and still is the all American answer to the Camero and Mustang. Chrysler’s E-body “pony car” plus don’t forget the slightly smaller Plymouth Barracuda. The Chrysler “pony cars” were produced in many versions, trim and power options to provide good competition for Ford and Chevrolet. You could get one of these “pony cars” with any engine Chrysler made.
Chrysler had intended the Challenger and the Barracuda not only to be the most powerful “pony cars” but to compete against the Mercury Cougar and the Pontiac Firebird also. Dodge Challenger the more powerful and had more luxury of the muscle cars competed against the Cougar.
Dodge Challenger had a wheelbase of 110 inches making it two full inches longer then the Barracuda. With slightly larger dimensions and outfitted with more luxury in the interior it did a great job competing against the Mercury Cougar.
Car designer Carl Cameron provided the great exterior for the 1966 Dodge Charger. There were some pipe dreams about giving the Charger prototype a turbine engine but this never happened. But the public loved all 76,935 Challenger’s produced in 1970. As always the press had their critics telling everyone the “pony car” sales were declining. Sales fell off after the 1970 model year and the Challenger dropped the line mid 1974.
The life of the Challengers put somewhere around 165,000 of these great “pony cars” in the hands of “pony car” lovers. The Dodge Challenger and Chargers make a great addition to your model car collections. You can find many vintage model car manufactures models still available to build today. Adding to or starting a new collection in everything from wood, die cast and the popular plastic model in scale.
