The Dodge Challenger T/A is one of the most sought-after classic
pony cars on the market. Sure, there were Challengers with bigger
and more powerful engines, but the weight of those engines often
made them feel heavy and cumbersome to drive. The T/A was a totally
different animal. Under the lightweight factory fiberglass scooped
hood sits the numbers matching, potent 340C.I. V8 fed by three
2-barrel Holley carburetors and exhaling through dual side exit
exhaust, mated to the super strong A727 TorqueFlite automatic
transmission with the 'Slap Stik' shifter and an 8�" rear axle.
This powertrain, as well as the fiberglass front and rear spoilers,
make for a lightweight yet planted racing homologation car that
feels like its ready to hit the track and dominate over any
opponent. This was proven in the 1970 Trans-Am racing series where
the Challenger held its ground excellently against competitors,
with drivers like Sam Posey who was at the wheel of the #76 and #77
Challengers. This Challenger has been signed by Posey himself on
the air cleaner lid for all to see when you pop those hood pins.
This is a real deal T/A with the A53 option shown on the trim tag
as well as the supplemental Trans Am trim tag and correct, T/A
only, engine code in the VIN. Other features on this unique
Challenger include power steering and brakes, high-performance
aluminum radiator, Rallye instrument cluster, painted dual racing
mirrors, as well as Mopar Rallye wheels wrapped in BFGoodrich
Radial T/A rubber. Chrysler Corporation was very well known for
their bright and whacky colors in this era called the High Impact
Paint (HIP) line. This T/A is finished in one of those very
desirable High Impact Paint colors, FY1 Top Banana, or Lemon Twist
as it would be called for Plymouth. The black striping, hood, and
spoilers accent that bright color very nicely and really make this
car pop! Inside you'll find a High trim grade black vinyl interior
with bucket seats and a center console. The trunk is very clean and
houses the spare wheel and tire. Underneath, this Challenger T/A is
exceptionally clean and solid. This car would make the perfect
addition to any serious classic collection, especially for those
who may already have a Z/28 or Boss Mustang and want to complete
their trinity of Trans-Am homologation cars from the era with one
of the nicest T/As on the market. Please feel welcome to visit our
