This 1970 Challenger R/T convertible was used in the TV show Mod Squad. I've heard about the other Challenger in the show but not this one. It seems to be a real red with red interior, 383 automatic car and three speaker dash. I couldn't make out much else. Does anyone know anything about it?

Wow, I forgot about that car and now remember the show well. This should be a needle in a haystack.

ADAM-12 had an episode with a red/red R/T 'vert, but it has bumper guards & "ROAD" wheels

& duct tape to hold the emblems on biggrin

I remember that episode. The girl stole the Challenger from Tony Dow. He was playing a vet on leave?

Probably had to cover up the emblems unless they had permission from Chrysler.

You are correct! Your memory is better than mine. Just took the refresher course... smile

It's funny, all four of the Challenger emblems are obscured but no other cars I noted. '69 GP model J, Shelby GT 350 etc.

they aren't "stars" - just props, background
like extras VS. an actor with a speaking part getting credit

I remember the episode with Tony Dow. He had an army uniform on.
But I think it was Adam-12. It was an episode about illegal street
racing. Dick Clark was in that episode portraying a race track promoter trying to get racers off the streets and into an organized track event.
Tony Dow speaks with the Malloy and Reed, stating he had his
Chevelle stolen.
A Mopar tidbit in this episode is a racing green 69 Roadrunner that was street racing in one of the scenes. I beleive that very car is owned
by a member here on Moparts.

Cool stuff about the Adam 12 Challenger but no info on the Mod Squad Challenger?

different plates, would these plates be authentic?

front valence moulding/rear "astrotone" panel on both the ADAM-12 & MOD SQUAD cars, but NO belt mouldings? shruggy

MOD SQUAD R/T lost its front bumper guards - it has rears work

do you know the season and episode number for the MOD SQUAD R/T?
