'70 Dodge Hemi Challenger

Description[]

The Dodge Challenger is a pony/muscle car manufactured by Dodge division of Chrysler Corporation (now Stellantis North America) between 1970 until 1974.

The '70 Challenger was considered to be the best muscle car around by most in the day. It features Dodge's 426 HEMI engine with 425 horsepower as well as having a Shaker hood that added 6 HP to its power.

The casting was retooled in 2017, becoming a post-post design with the grille cast into the body. The original tooling is still used on occasion.
