Vehicle Description
1970 Dodge Challenger T/A with its original matching-numbers 340ci
Six-Pack V8 engine and pistol-grip 4-speed manual transmission.
Produced only in 1970, the Dodge Challenger T/A (Trans Am) was a
racing homologation car. In order to race the SCCA Trans Am
Championship, Dodge built a street version of its race car, which
it appropriately named the Challenger T/A. The challenger T/A was
powered by the high-revving 340 Six-Pack hardly hidden beneath a
matte black fiberglass hood sporting a giant hood scoop. The
low-restriction dual exhaust system exited from the sides of the
car through unique "megaphone" exhaust tips in front of the rear
tires. Front disc brakes were standard as was the heavy-duty Rallye
suspension. Track stripes, bold graphics, and a fiberglass ducktail
real spoiler and front spoiler were also part of the T/A package.
In 1970, a total of 2,399 T/A Challengers were built, but only 989
were equipped with the factory 4-speed manual transmission and
Hurst shifter. This fully restored T/A Challenger is presented in
its as-built color combination with correct options as decoded by
its VIN and Trim Tags. Matching-numbers engine confirmed by
documentation. Restoration photos, receipts, book and magazine
features will transfer with the car.
