Dodge Challenger — 1969-1974

The name Challenger first appeared in 1959 and was used to refer to a variant of the Dodge Coronet car. Only in 1969 the car was presented as a separate model. Chrysler wanted a sports car and that was the Dodge Challenger. Dimensions significantly differed from sports ones, if we take into account European standards. However, he quickly became a serious player and was sighed by customers on both sides of the ocean.

The Challenger shared the platform with the Charger as well as with the Plymouth Barracuda. It was offered in two versions — as a coupe and a convertible. Although it was sold for only 4 years, it had a large range of engines and new changes and improvements were introduced every year.

In 1971, larger bumpers were introduced, which was dictated by changes in federal regulations. In versions with V8 engines, the hood has acquired a more rounded shape. The 426 HEMI engine was discontinued, and the 440 Magnum was weakened to 350 hp. Air conditioning has appeared in the list of equipment.

In 1972, the bumpers were again changed, they became more massive and convex. This time the change was very noticeable. The number of indicators on the dashboard has been reduced. The range of engines with which the Dodge Challenger was offered was revised again. This made the combustion a bit smaller to meet federal regulations.

In 1973, the roof and windows were reinforced to increase the rigidity of the car. Bumpers have become more protruding. Reduced power in V8 engines.

In 1974, changes were made to the bumpers and the materials from which they were made. The 440 Magnum engine was discontinued, and power was again reduced in the remaining versions.
