Overview of 1973 Dodge Challenger Restomod For Sale by Owner

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.

Exterior and Interior

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.

Engine

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.

2003 Dodge Viper SRT-10

For Sale
ASK: $76,299
Miles: 10,108
Estimated: $776.40/mo

The Dodge Viper has always occupied a special place in American performance history, representing an unapologetic approach to sports car engineering built around massive displacement, rear-wheel drive, and an engaging manual transmission. When the third-generation Viper SRT-10 arrived in 2003, it introduced sharper styling, a more powerful V10 engine, and an improved chassis while preserving the raw driving character that made the original Viper legendary. This 2003 Dodge Viper SRT-10 Roadster, showing just 10,108 miles, is finished in iconic Viper Red over a Black leather interior with a Black convertible soft top. At its heart sits an 8.3L naturally aspirated V10 producing 500 horsepower, paired with a Tremec T56 six-speed manual transmission. Its distinctive styling is complemented by polished staggered alloy wheels, a functional hood scoop, and an aftermarket carbon-fiber front splitter. An aftermarket exhaust system further enhances the V10's unmistakable character. Beyond its impressive specifications, this example benefits from extensive documented mechanical servicing, with over $11,000 in combined maintenance and repairs performed between September 2025 and January 2026. Notable work includes replacement of the shock assemblies, right rear axle shaft, and rear stabilizer bar links, along with a four-wheel alignment and engine oil service. Most significantly, a Wavetrac complete differential was installed by Gearhead Fabrications in January 2026, with accompanying invoices documenting the work performed. Combining its low indicated mileage, classic color combination, desirable mechanical upgrades, and documented service history, this Viper SRT-10 represents an exciting chapter in Dodge's American supercar legacy.

1962 Ford Thunderbird Hardtop Coupe

For Sale
ASK: $27,799
Miles: 63,156
Estimated: $274.33/mo

The 1962 Ford Thunderbird represents an era when American personal luxury cars were designed to make a statement, combining dramatic styling, powerful V8 engines, and an emphasis on comfort that distinguished them from conventional automobiles. Part of the third-generation Thunderbird lineup, affectionately known as the "Bullet Bird" for its distinctive streamlined design, the 1962 model featured a sculpted body, prominent chrome detailing, and a luxurious passenger compartment that reflected Ford's ambitious approach to personal transportation. This particular 1962 Ford Thunderbird Hardtop Coupe, showing 63,156 miles, is finished in Corinthian White over a striking Red interior and boasts an especially interesting ownership history dating back to its original purchase on October 15, 1962. According to the seller, the vehicle has passed through just three owners, with the current owner retaining it since July 2007 and overseeing an extensive series of refresh and maintenance efforts. Even more intriguing is the discovery of original Ford ROT manufacturing sheets, period service receipts, factory assembly markings, and other historical artifacts that provide a tangible connection to the car's earliest years. Powered by a 390ci V8 paired with a three-speed Cruise-O-Matic automatic transmission, this Thunderbird also benefits from reported upper-engine rebuilding, cooling system improvements, renewed brake components, and a retrofit air conditioning system. With its distinctive color combination, documented historical discoveries, and extensive collection of accompanying spare parts, this Thunderbird presents an appealing combination of classic American luxury and enthusiast provenance.
