The Legacy of First Generation Dodge Challenger

first generation dodge challenger production

While Chrysler did not achieve the sales expectations with the first generation Dodge Challenger and only 165,437 muscle cars were made until the production was cancelled in the middle of 1974 the impact of this unique of its time design is tremendous.

The introduced in 2008 Dodge Challenger modern version has been constantly growing in terms of popularity ever since and its future seems to be very bright, but none of this would have been possible without the legendary E-body.
