1970 Dodge Challenger 440 Six Pack
The Dodge Challenger is the name of three different generations of automobiles (two of those being pony cars) produced by American automobile manufacturer Dodge. However, the first use of the Challenger name by Dodge was in 1959 for marketing a “value version” of the full-sized Coronet Silver Challenger.
This 1970 Dodge Challenger 440 Six Pack is an original V-code car, having left the factory with a 440ci V8 capped with three 2-barrel Holley carburetors dubbed the “Six-Pack.” Factory rated at 390 horsepower and 490 lb⋅ft of torque it was the most powerful engine available outside of the 426ci HEMI. Only 847 440 Six Pack cars were delivered with a factory manual 4-speed transmission in 1970, with this being one of them.
Inside, this car is mostly original and in nice shape throughout. Glass, weatherstripping, and all soft materials to be well-kept while the original dashboard.
A factory original steering wheel sits in front of a woodgrain dashboard of the Raylle gauges that includes a 150-mph speedometer, an 8k-rpm tachometer, a combination gauge, and a clock.
The 1970 Dodge Challenger is the perfect midsize car to showcase the Dodge Hemi engine. It is good to see the Challenger receive more recognition every year, but unfortunate that the remaining first-generation cars are so expensive.
