There really is nothing quite like a pre-oil crisis muscle car. And it’s not just about the power, even the styling was arguably better in the late 60s and early 70s. Chrysler launched the first-generation Dodge Challenger in late 1969 (for the 1970 MY) to compete with Mercury Cougar and the Pontiac Firebird. It came in two body styles (2-door hardtop and convertible), with nine engine options, three transmission options and several trim levels. Some visual changes were made in 1971, and the convertible was discontinued in 1972. 1973 saw the straight 6 engine being dropped. A few more changes came in before production finally ended in April 1974 with around 188,600 units being built in total. Like most muscle cars, the Challenger was frequently tuned and upgraded to squeeze as much horsepower as possible. In recent years, many have been used as restomod projects, like this one which was reportedly completed in 2017.
Dodges, both new and old, were sold in quite bold colors, from lime greens to bright purples. This one has been given two-tone paintwork, with the top half of the car in purple and the bottom half in silver. HEMI is written in capital letters on the side of the hood scoop. It has also been given a front lip with “Challenger” written on it, and five-spoke alloy wheels. The black interior is a combination of the original and a 2014 SRT8, and has Vintage Air heat and A/C. The front seats appear to have 6-point harnesses and the gauges have carbon fiber dials. Despite the combination of old and new interior components, they have been tastefully selected and work in harmony so that the SRT8 seats, the aftermarket three-spoke steering wheel and the classic chrome window switches all look like they belong together in the same car.
The mechanical upgrades on this car are quite extensive. The 5.7L Hemi V8 is from a 2009 Challenger R/T and the Ram 5-speed automatic is a 545 RFE transmission. It has 8 ¾” Posi 3.91 gears, a 4-link rear and Magnum Force coil overs. Stopping power has also been improved with 4-wheel disc brakes.

The car that strikes fear into many others, the one that stands proud as an old-school muscle car, and the model that spits in the face of electric and hybrid mobility. There are but a handful of models that can lay claim to these statements, and the third-generation Dodge Challenger is one of them. Debuting for the 2008 model year and being made until 2023, over 806,000 units were made during this run. It’s a car that was offered with a tame 3.6-liter V6 and drop-top body style, as well as a potent Hellcat-powered coupe. Today, we have a 2017 Dodge Challenger SRT Hellcat for sale from Kalispell, Montana. The car has done just 22,800 miles and comes with a nice set of Brass Monkey forged wheels to accentuate its Green Go paint job. So if you want a proper muscle car that can carry your family around when needed, this is one for the job.
The third iteration of the Dodge Challenger has got to be the most exciting to date! While everyone was looking at hybridization and touchscreen everything for their cars, Dodge stuck with an old-school, tried-and-tested formula for their muscle car. They offered it with a monstrous Hellcat V8 under the hood in various states of tune (a six-cylinder unit was also available for the less adventurous), and wrapped it with a long body that could easily accommodate four adults. This iteration of Challenger was made between 2008 and 2023, and spawned several potent variants. Today, we’ve got a 2023 Dodge Challenger SRT Hellcat Super Stock for sale from Spanish Springs, Nevada. With just 107 miles on the clock, this is a special edition of just 267 cars. It’s got 807 horsepower, Demonic Red Laguna Leather seating, a car cover, factory drag radials, and much more.
Dodge created something awesome in 2008 when they trotted out the Challenger. It was a time when the world was changing, gravitating towards electric and hybrid mobility. Dodge decided to buck the trend and went old-school, with a grumbly, V8-powered muscle car bearing a famous name from their illustrious past of creating rambunctious road machines. Hot variants would get Hellcat V8s under the hood. When the Challenger was due to retire in 2023, Dodge decided to send it out with a bang and created the Hellcat 170 derivative. That’s what we have here today, a 13-mile 2023 Dodge Challenger Demon 170 from Dover, New Hampshire. 1 of 369 in sublime green and 1 of 64 with no back seat. This car packs a factory-gifted 1,025 horsepower, and can do 0-60 in under 2 seconds if the conditions are right. That’s insane, to say the least, but what’s even more insane is, it’s still kind of practical. OK the rear seats are gone, but much of the model’s tech toys and creature comforts remain.
Today, RAM is a stand-alone brand of pickup trucks and well-known for its versatile array of tough, capable and yes, luxurious offerings in the full-size, medium-duty and heavy-duty segments. But before 2010, RAM was merely a model under the Dodge hierarchy, and the trucks were known as the Dodge Ram. That’s what we have here, a 1997 Dodge Ram 2500 LT for sale from Baytown, Texas. This is a second-generation Dodge RAM and it’s done 154,788 miles so far. With its Cummins turbodiesel six, manual gearbox and replaced interior, it’s the ideal truck for someone looking for a decent workhorse, as well as a person who wants something a little different from the Nineties. Contact us if you fit the bill.

Ford’s Torino is a midsize car that was sold between 1968 and 1976. It also dabbled in the muscle car segment, with a prime example being this first-generation 1969 Ford Torino Cobra Jet. For buyers who wanted something tamer, there was a host of straight six or V8 powerplants, but the ultimate was the massive 428ci Cobra Jet V8. That’s what this Thousand Palms-based car offers, along with a Marti Report and just 21,000 miles on the clock. In fact, 1969 Cobras like this one are quite desirable due to their rarity since many Torino’s didn’t survive due to a variety of reasons. Perhaps they weren’t quite seen as preservation candidates way back then. Now, a car like this one isn’t a common occurrence, so if you wish to own this Cobra, contact us right now.
Chevy’s second-generation or C2 Corvette has got to be the one with the shortest production run! It was made between 1963 and 1967, and just under 118,000 units were produced during this time. However, the C2 brought us many Corvette features such as pop-up headlamps, only V8s under the hood, and the Sting Ray badge. That’s why getting your hands on a C2 is a smart idea, albeit not one of the easiest. Happily, we have this 1964 Chevrolet Corvette Sting Ray Convertible for sale from Newtown, Pennsylvania. The car has just 5,764 miles on it and looks fabulous!
Falcon is one of Ford’s best-known nameplates, because its been used for cars in North America, Australia and Argentina. Today’s 1964 Ford Falcon Sprint Convertible comes from the North American line-up and is a second-generation example. With a healthy 119,104 miles on the clock, this fine Ford hails from Chula Vista, California and is a nice, sunny drop-top too. It’s got a 289 paired with a four-speeder, and some fetching aftermarket wheels as well. And that’s before we get to its rather nautical color! In short, this is the perfect first classic for someone looking to try out the American cars of the Sixties, but if you need more convincing before calling us, read on.
