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.

$80,995

2022 Dodge Challenger SRT Hellcat Redeye Widebody Jailbreak

Current Ask
$112,500

This 2022 Dodge Challenger SRT Hellcat Redeye Widebody Jailbreak is the kind of example that was clearly preserved with collectability in mind from day one. Showing just 12 miles, it was specially ordered by an enthusiast as a collector’s piece and has reportedly spent its life stored in a climate-controlled garage under a fitted cover, with only occasional start-ups rather than regular driving. The original window sticker remains in place, and the Demonic Red / Black Laguna leather seats are still wrapped in protective plastic. Finished in Indigo Blue with Silver dual stripes, this Jailbreak also carries the Widebody package, 20-inch Satin Carbon Warp Speed wheels, Driver Convenience Group, Technology Group, and a number of distinctive interior and exterior details. Whether viewed as a time-capsule collectible or a virtually untouched opportunity to experience a Redeye Jailbreak, this is an unusually preserved example.

SOLD

The 2016 Dodge Challenger SRT Hellcat is one of the cars that helped redefine what a modern American muscle car could be.

The Quick Order Package 26R SRT Hellcat, Laguna Performance Seats with SRT-embossed logos, and power sunroof add to the appeal, while the all-black color combination gives the car an especially sinister look. With rear-wheel drive, massive supercharged power, and the everyday usability of a full-size coupe, this Hellcat blends old-school muscle-car attitude with modern performance engineering in a way few cars can match.
