Vehicle Description
Mopar people know the significance of the 1974 Dodge Challenger. It
was the final year for these first generation muscle cars, and its
model year was even cut short, making it the rarest of these
E-bodies. But just in case you weren't already tempted by rarity,
you'll be drawn in by the bold iconic paint and growling upgraded
V8 power.
The Challenger's shape is one of the most popular muscle car
profiles in history, but there's something more on this one that
makes it look exceptionally nice. The upgrade to Hemi Orange paint
instantly makes this Mopar look bold and speedy. And because this
is a more modern application, the gloss loves to showcase how
straight the well-defied creases are in the body panels. Against
this bright and bold paint is a well-coordinated dark side with the
black full-width rear spoiler, blacked-out rear panel, and the
matte black hood stripe. The aggression continues on features like
the hood pins and double scoop with callouts. And you'll also love
the brightwork on this one, because the chrome bumpers love to hug
the body's form, and the upgraded torque thrust style alloys are
wider in the rear to emphasize where the rubber meets the road.
All the black accenting on the outside get you ready for the full
black interior. You can tell they invested nicely to keep this one
feeling fresh, including newer seat covers on the high-back bucket
seats. You'll slip behind the dual-spoke sports steering wheel, and
this one really feels like a driver's machine. That's why the
center console forms around you and includes an upgraded tach.
The hood callouts weren't lying. This has a big 383 cubic-inch V8
under the hood. Not only is this larger than anything offered in
'74, but also they upgraded it further with go fast goodies like an
Edelbrock four-barrel carburetor, Edelbrock performer intake, and
long tube headers that add power while contributing to the thunder
of the dual exhaust. And you have full control over this enhanced
power thanks to the reverse manual valve body on the three-speed
transmission. This is a strong-runner, and you also have the right
supporting components like an MSD ignition and aluminum radiator.
Plus, there's power steering and power brakes w/discs up front for
solid driving confidence.
The 383 V8 and Hemi Orange are both Challenger pieces from the
prime muscle car era, and so it's great to have it on this rare
final year example. So you've got a very hot Mopar that's ready for
your garage. Call today!!!
