Hi I was trying to find out more about classic dodge challenger and ultimately own one. I am curious how they look different even though they are the same years 1970,71,72,73? Any reason for this? Maybe it's just different camera angles? I know 1973 was a big change year for emmision controls,smaller engines ect. Was the body style changed? Thanks
I tried message you earlier re Challengers, but your settings don’t allow PMs

I sold it in the mid 80's to a friend, it's now with someone else who has turned into a Sam Posey tribute car, it's good to know it's still in use. Having been here in the UK since '79, our climate had hurt it somewhat over the years.
Great that it has survived !
Was it put on a 1979 T registration when it first arrived in Blighty ? My 70 Challenger appears to have been shipped here in 1977 and was definitely on a J reg in 1977.

But how come my 70 Challenger R/T was put in a J plate in 77 ?
And my Late Dads 57/69 Firebird was put on a K plate in 73 ??

It's not a pretty picture, it got hit by someone, I drove it like that for 6 months before getting it fixed, along with some other work.



That must have been a hell of a hit ! What happened ?

Their description of this Challenger is absolutely appalling......
They are saying that it’s an “SE RT “ which it plainly isn’t !!
