Automobile, 1973 Dodge Challenger 2-Door Hardtop Coupe. The late '60s and early 1970's witnessed an industry pullback from the monster muscle cars you could buy from the factories throughout the '60s decade. Building cars that didn't address shrinking fuel supplies and cars with too much power brought the government to “encourage” the auto industry to tone things down. And that they did. Many of the earlier 1970's cars still had that fast & ferocious look with a huge palate full of crazy colors, like Dodge Banana Yellow, Plum Crazy or Panther Pink.....even Hemi Orange. You could buy one for right around $3,000. They still looked sleek, fast & sexy, but without as much muscle. This 1973 Challenger would fit that look well. This one has the Rallye upgrades. The hood...and the hood vents help make it look fast. But under the hood is the standby Dodge 318ci 150hp engine. For just an extra $180, you could have popped for the 240 hp 340ci powerplant. On this Challenger, the VIN code shows 5th digit is G, for the 318. The original 318 engine and transmission has been replaced. It's powered through their TorqueFlite three-speed automatic transmission. That too has been replaced. Dodge built about 32,000 Challengers in 1973 and some fewer came with the Rallye package, automatic and 318 small block engine. So this isn't a common car. Those numbers still give it a somewhat rare moniker. This car could easily be a show winner and it's ready to drive. You can be certain it'll be a head turner when you're cruising with it. VIN #JH23G38597840. Odometer shows 16,124 miles.
