The Dodge line of vehicles has long been a successful part of the Daimler Chrysler company. Dodge has distinguished itself in the world of racing with some excellent race cars.

While Dodge was the last of the United States' car makers to enter the so-called pony car market, the Dodge Challenger was definitely worth the wait. The Challenger was released by Chrysler's Dodge division and was an immediate hit, both among reviewers and the general public. It was based on the same E-body platform as the Plymouth Barracuda, but it had its wheelbase extended by two inches and different sheet metal was used.

The Dodge Challenger sold 80,000 cars in 1970, the first year that it was available. Despite the sales success, the Dodge Challenger received a significant amount of criticism from the automotive press. It also had the misfortune to come out just when the pony car market was dying, and as a result the Challenger was produced for just five years. Production of the Dodge Challenger ended after the 1974 model year, with a total of 165,000 units sold from 1970 to 1974.

There were a variety of engine choices produced for the Dodge Challenger. The Trans Am, a famous Challenger model manufactured in 1970 only, was a racing homolgation car that had a Six-Pack version of the 340 cubic inch (5.6L) engine that was specially tuned. Challenger T/A has a lift off hood made of fiberglass and a giant hood scoop with 'megaphone' exhaust ports installed towards the back of the vehicle in front of the rear wheels.
