The earliest Dodge Challenger model
The first Dodge Challenger was produced in 1970. It was built on the E-body platform shared with the Plymouth Barracuda. The 1970 Dodge Challenger was available as either a 2-door coupe or convertible and came with a base 225 cubic-inch (3.7L) slant-six engine or optional 318 cubic-inch (5.2L) V8. More powerful engine options were also available, including the 340 cubic-inch and 383 cubic-inch V8s, and the legendary 426 Hemi V8 on select models.
