1973 Dodge Challenger

Gateway Classic Cars of Scottsdale is excited to digitally present this beautiful 1973 Dodge Challenger, finished in an electrifying Sub-Lime Green exterior that demands attention at every turn. The black vinyl interior wraps you in classic muscle car style, with seatbelts and air conditioning ensuring comfort and safety for your cruise. As you grip the wheel and fire up the 440 V8 engine, originally from a 1968 Dodge Charger RT, you'll feel the rumble of power that's been enhanced with JE custom forged 10.5-1 pistons, 440 Richard Petty Nascar rods, a dual-pattern billet camshaft, Isky rockers, and custom 3/8 chromoly pushrods. This Challenger is built to deliver an unforgettable driving experience. The drivetrain is paired with a 727 Hemi 3-speed transmission featuring 9 clutch discs, offering smooth and responsive shifts as you accelerate down the road. The fuel system has been upgraded with a 440 Torquer aluminum manifold, a new Holley 850 CFM carburetor, and an Edelbrock air cleaner housing and filter, ensuring optimal performance. The exhaust note is pure muscle, thanks to original 1974 appliance 4-bolt headers that have been blasted and ceramic coated, dual 3-inch stainless-steel tubing, and turbo mufflers. Every press of the gas pedal unleashes a symphony of power and precision. Handling is a breeze with power steering and a rebuilt 3 1/2 ratio gearbox, while power brakes with front discs and rebuilt calipers provide confident stopping power. The rear features original 10-inch drums, maintaining the car's authentic feel. Radial tires keep you connected to the road, and the polished stainless-steel moldings and original body sheet metal showcase the car's timeless design. The 11-month restoration has brought this Challenger back to life, preserving its heritage while enhancing its performance. Whether you're cruising through town or taking it out for a weekend drive, this Dodge Challenger delivers a blend of raw power and refined comfort.
