Hornet-Hued 1970 Six Pack Challenger Impresses

Bee Thousand

While an expertly restored 1970 Dodge Challenger Six Pack is always worthy of a head turn, when a restored vehicle packs the kind of heart-stopping good looks and impressive power like this one, it’s a true thrill. A near completely original body, including the original “Fresh Air” fiberglass hood, is just the tip of the iceberg of all the amazing features in this American classic.

Wild About You

There's a reason why this 1970 Dodge Challenger —and the decades of muscle cars it inspired —were built with so much racing enthused focus. This is because the powers that existed in competitive racing at the time demanded that automakers engineer and built retail cars to compete in many national motorsport circuits. In fact, the Sports Car Club of America (SCCA) required that 2,400 1970 Dodge Challenger be made so that one could be eligible for professional racing competition. That's some expensive lengths to go to for an auto company to get their name out there —even for 1970.

Holy Hornet

While different versions of the Dodge Challenger would be produced through the 1974 model year, few are as prized among collectors as versions like this stylish and speedy 1970 Dodge Challenger T/A model. In 1978, Dodge marketed a variant of the Mitsubishi Gallant as the Dodge Challenger —a move that remains borderline sacrilege to true muscle car aficionados to this day. Drive or hive, you can always differentiate between the Queen bee and the worker drones.
