That is awesome! I have a buddy with one that's a race car. I'll make sure he sees this.

I want one just so I can drive it to shows, park it next to a walking boomer meme and their perfect 1970-74, and watch their head explode when I tell them that I've got one too.

Those don't count. It's a Mitsu. Man, the late 70's were tough for cars.

"I have one just like that, but its a 4 cylinder" lol

IMO, there were some really good econo boxes made in the late 70's early 80's. the Challengers, colts, Chumps, and many others. Some were a bit cheaply made but reliable and good mileage with a flippin carburetor. There's more than one I'd buy brand new if it were possible.

I remember years ago there was a clown on that marx allpar site that was adamant that thing was a real challenger and so was the k-car Charger, he didn't understand badge engineering - which it wasnt even, it was just name cashing $$$. He'd have none of it, those were real chargers/challengers and FWD 4cyl is part of the legacy.

We had a junkyard here back in the day that was a car show frozen in time. 25-acres worth and had not seen the crusher since 1971 when an over-zealous Crusher-Man took it upon himself to crush a 340-powered E-body. The owner had a coronary and swore to never allow the crusher on his property again. Thunderbirds, Mustangs, Cougars.... "Mopar Row" would've made you guys cry. A-body's to the horizon. B-bodies that were driven into the yard, a spike driven through their gas tanks and radiatiors and walked away from. I can still remember a '69 Fury III hardtop that I used to drool over.

Back on topic? They had THREE of those late 70's Challengers there. I always thought they were kinda nifty cars - they were pretty loaded with lots of nifty gadgets and gauges. I thought they were pretty cool for what they were.

I'm not a fan of those but dang I have to admit that one looks nice.

They’ll just think you are an idiot.

That's as much of a "Challenger" as those 4 door things with the "Charger" emblem on it!

some good ones out there.

I rebuilt an automatic transmission out of one of those cars. They called it a "baby 904" and that's what it was just a little 904 bolted to a Mitsubishi 4 banger.

Mom had an Arrow. The rear looked like a small 8-3/4 too.
