The Trans-America Championship saw some racing success for the Challenger as well. The first Dodge Challenger was late to the pony car party and did not sell nearly as well as Dodge had intended, despite the favourable press. In addition, the firstgeneration Challenger's lifespan would be cut to just four years due to impending pollution laws. Only 165,437 early Challengers were produced in total. When the 1970 Challenger was first introduced, Dodge provided an unusual variety of customization options. A highperformance Road/Track model and a base model of the Challenger were also offered. The Special Edition (SE) coupe, the two-door convertible, and the hardtop coupe were available as body types.
Challengers came standard with a Slant-6 engine. The 318 V8 with a 2-barrel carburetor served as the base engine for both R/T and SE versions. The 340 V8, 383 V8, famous 440 Magnum V8, and storied 426 Hemi engines were available as options. The 440 Hemi had a sizable engine with combustion chambers that were wedge-shaped, but it only had 335 horsepower and a rather low compression ratio. IThe Dodge Hemi engine looks best in the 1970 Dodge Challenger, the ideal midsize vehicle. Although it is encouraging to see the Challenger garnering more attention every year, it is terrible that the last of the first-generation models are so pricey and steadily appreciating in value.
