While walking down the street Andrew, spotted these two vintage Dodge Challengers in an alleyway in Windsor, Ontario. Despite having lived through countless Canadian winters, these Challengers have minimal rust. The only wear seems to be their faded HEMI Orange paint. Aside from that, both of these Challengers appear to be in decent shape. Andrew believes the cars are 100% and only minor TLC will be needed to get them up and running once again. According to Andrew, the old man who owns these cars has been approached a dozen times but won’t budge to sell them. The Vitamin C Challenger with the rally stripes appears to be a 1971, which can be identified by its split grill.
Released in 1970, the Challenger was designed from the get go to be Dodge’s premier musclecar. With optional high output mills such as the 340, 383, 440, and the legendary 426 Hemi, the Challenger was capable of not only outrunning its pony car rivals – the Camaro and Mustang – but leaving the midsize flagship musclecars of the big 3 in the dust. With go fast styling that made this car look fast while standing still, combined with 300 to 450 horsepower mills, the Challenger was a popular machine among racers. Further boosting the muscle Mopar’s popularity was the white 1970 R/T that starred in the hit 1971 film Vanishing Point were it engaged in a high octane police chase across the country.
Since there seems to be no badging on these Challengers, most likely they contain 318, 340 or 383 mills. Challengers are rare sights on the road these days and it we be amazing to have two of them back on the highways once again.
