Vehicle Description
When Dodge finally got a legitimate pony car to race in the Sports
Car Club of America's Trans American Sedan Championship in 1970 it
built a muscle car version for the street that was even wilder than
the competition model. We're talking about the 1970 Dodge
Challenger T/A.SCCA rules required Dodge to sell production
editions of the track car and Dodge responded with the Challenger
T/A. The race cars ran a destroked 305-cid version of Mopar's fine
340-cid V-8. It had a four-barrel carb and some 440 bhp. Street
T/As stayed with the 340 but upped the ante with a trio of
two-barrel Holley's atop an Edelbrock aluminum intake
manifold.Despite the "Six Pack" carburation and a host of internal
reinforcements the T/A's mill carried the same 290 bhp rating as
regular four-barrel 340s though true output was near 350 bhp.
Feeding it air was a suitcase-sized scoop molded into the
pinned-down matte-black fiberglass hood. Low-restriction dual
exhausts ran to the stock location under the trunk then reversed
direction to exit in chrome-tipped "megaphone" outlets in front of
the rear wheels.TorqueFlite automatic with 3.55:1 gears. Optioned
with power steering and Front disc brakes were standard. The
special Rallye suspension used heavy-duty everything and increased
the camber of the rear springs. The T/A was among the first
production cars with different sized tires front and rear: E60x15s
up front G60x15s in back.The modified camber elevated the tail
enough to clear the rear rubber and the exhaust outlets giving the
T/A a real street-punk's stance. Thick side stripes bold ID
graphics and a black ducktail spoiler joined the visual assault
though the cabin was standard Challenger R/T.As it turned out the
T/A with its intensified 340 and meaty rear tires helped production
versions claw through the quarter in the mid 14s a showing that
would do any small-block proud.Specifications:67943 actual miles1
