About the Challenger R/T
The Dodge Challenger is the name of three different generations of
automobiles produced by Dodge. However, the first use of the
Challenger name by Dodge was in 1959 for marketing a "value
version" of the full-sized Coronet Silver Challenger.
From model years 1970 to 1974, the first generation Dodge
Challenger pony car was built using the Chrysler E platform in
hardtop and convertible body styles sharing major components with
the Plymouth Barracuda.
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" wheelbase was
2" 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 a
stillborn 1966 Charger prototype that was to have a turbine
engine.
The performance model was the Challenger R/T (Road/Track), with a
383 cu in (6.3 L) "Magnum" V8, rated at 335 HP . The standard
transmission was a 3-speed manual. Optional R/T engines were the
375 HP 440 cu in (7.2 L) Magnum, the 390 HP 440 cu in (7.2 L)
Six-Pack and the 426 cu in (7.0 L) Hemi rated at 425 HP at 5,000
rpm and 490 lb�ft of torque at 4,000 rpm. The R/T was available in
either the hardtop or convertible. The Challenger R/T came with a
Rallye instrument cluster that included a 150 mph speedometer, an
8,000 rpm tachometer and an oil pressure gauge.
