Vehicle Description
Introduced in fall 1969 for the 1970 model year, the Challenger was
one of two Chrysler E-body cars, the other being the slightly
smaller Plymouth Barracuda. Positioned to compete against the
Mercury Cougar and Pontiac Firebird in the upper end of the pony
car market segment, it was "a rather late response" to the Ford
Mustang, which debuted in April 1964. Even so, Chrysler intended
the new Challenger as the most potent pony car ever, and, like the
less expensive Barracuda, it was available in a staggering number
of trim and option levels, and with virtually every engine in
Chrysler's inventory.
The Challenger's longer wheelbase, larger dimensions, and more
luxurious interior were prompted by the launch of the 1967 Mercury
Cougar, likewise a bigger, more luxurious and more expensive pony
car aimed at affluent young American buyers. The 110 inch wheelbase
was 2 inches longer than the Barracuda's, and the Dodge differed
substantially in its sheetmetal, much as the Cougar differed from
the shorter-wheelbase Mustang. Air conditioning and a rear window
defogger were optional.
Exterior design was penned by Carl Cameron, who was also
responsible for the exterior designs of the 1966 Dodge Charger.
Cameron based the 1970 Challenger grille on an older sketch of an
unbuilt 1966 Charger prototype that was to have a turbine engine.
Although the Challenger was well received by the public.
