Anyone know how many 74 Challenger 318 3 speeds made? I think around 11000 total Challengers in 74.

Thanks !!!

Good question...I had one. Was a 318 - 3spd. rallye pack gages, rallye hood (with no emblems), no console. Man...that brings back some memories.

This car does have the A57 Rallye package called out on the fender tag.

No. I thought maybe it was my old one. Mine was definitely Red. I would just have to ask the back seat to confirm if it was mine. LOL

here are the numbers I could find for '74s .....
it's not based on the full year's production ---- but it looks like both Challenger & Barracuda each ended up with around ~1,000 3-speed manual transmission cars for the 1974 model year

Thanks for the info !!!!!

I know this thing wouldn't be on most peoples radar these days but I think it's odd enough to be cool. A57 Rallye package with the 318 3 speed.

It was a cool car. That poor car of mine took more abuse than any car should have taken. Hopefully it pans out for you.

My first was a 74 Roadrunner with the same drive train. At 18 years old, I ran that car to death. Put a 340 hi rise on it with a big Holley, Hooker headers and bigger cam. Fun ole car.

I got REALLY good at pulling that transmission out. Had a recurring whine that eventually I got rid of with bearings. Not sure what caused the issue....maybe foot planted to the floor, flying down the road, pulling it into 2nd and dumping the clutch and stuff getting real noisy while practicing police turns? Nah...that couldn't have done it.

Come to think of it, there was typically beer involved.
