For 1970, the optional engines included the 340 and 383 cu in (5.6 and 6.3 L), as well as the 440 and 426 cu in (7.2 and 7.0 L) V8s, all with a standard 3-speed manual transmission, except for the 290 hp (216.3 kW) 383 cu in. The standard engine on the higher trim models was a 318 cu in (5.2 L) V8 with a 2-barrel carburetor. The standard engine on the base model was a 225 cu in (3.7 L) Straight-6. Produced for the 1970 model year only, this more luxurious SE specification included as standard a vinyl roof with a "SE" medallions on the pillars, a smaller "formal" rear window, leather and vinyl bucket seats, and an overhead interior console that contained three warning lights (door ajar, low fuel, and seatbelts). The Special Edition hardtop, available on either the base Challenger or on the R/T, added a number of appearance, convenience, and comfort features. The base model was the Challenger with either an inline-6 or V8 engine. The 1970-only Special Edition hardtop featured a smaller "formal" rear window 1970 įor its introductory model year the Challenger was available in two series, Challenger and Challenger R/T, and three models, two-door hardtop, Special Edition two-door hardtop, or convertible. A total of 165,437 first-generation Challengers were sold. Sales fell dramatically after 1970, and though sales rose for the 1973 model year with over 27,800 cars being sold, Challenger production ceased midway through the 1974 model year. The pony car segment was already declining by the time the Challenger arrived. Cameron based the 1970 Challenger grille on an older sketch of a stillborn 1966 Charger prototype that was to have a turbine engine. The exterior design was penned by Carl Cameron, who was also responsible for the exterior designs of the 1966 Dodge Charger. With 1971 being the sole exception, the front ends of both cars differed from each other in that the Challenger had four headlights and the Barracuda had only two a trend replicated by offerings from Chrysler's rivals. Air conditioning and a rear window defogger were optional. The 110 in (2,800 mm) wheelbase was 2 in (51 mm) longer than the Barracuda's, and the Dodge differed substantially in its sheetmetal, much as the Cougar differed from the shorter-wheelbase Mustang. The Challenger's longer wheelbase, larger dimensions, and more luxurious interior were prompted by the launch of the 1967 Mercury Cougar, likewise, a bigger, more luxurious, and more expensive pony car aimed at affluent young American buyers. The first usage of the "challenger" name was for a trim package in 1959 called the Dodge Silver Challenger which was a two-door coupe only. Even so, Chrysler intended the new Challenger as the most potent pony car ever, and like the less expensive Barracuda, it was available in a staggering number of trim and option levels, and with virtually every engine in Chrysler's inventory. Positioned to compete against the Mercury Cougar and Pontiac Firebird in the upper end of the pony car market segment, it was "a rather late response" to the Ford Mustang, which debuted in April 1964. Introduced in fall 1969 for the 1970 model year, the Challenger was one of two Chrysler E-body cars, the other being the slightly smaller Plymouth Barracuda. 3.15 Limited production 3rd party variants.3.7.1 Dodge Challenger 100th Anniversary Edition.Laura, Rob and crew deserve all the praise. I will only have good things to say about Chrysler Jeep Dodge Ram 24 Service department. I have never experienced customer service of this level. And they did!!! Within an hour or so i was back on the road. Knowing how frustrated I had become being stranded again, she went the extra mile and said they would take care of the issue that night. I connected with Laura again and she was informed that the parts were available after all. Other dealerships and FCA were of no help and actually told me there was nothing they could do. I proceeded to call around to see about this so called "interim fix. She gave me some pointers and I was able to get it started later that day. She was very knowledgeable about the recall. I initially contacted Chrysler Jeep Dodge Ram 24 service department and spoke with Laura Spinola. As you can imagine this left me stranded numerous times. This issue left me with a Jeep that would intermittently not start. I started having problems with my 2012 Jeep Grand Cherokee due to issues involving FCA recall #V62 Fuel Pump Relay. While I can't speak for the sales department here, I can certainly speak highly of the service department! So much so that I'll probably check in with sales when the time comes for a newer vehicle.
