The History of the Dodge Challenger
Автокөліктер мен көлік құралдары
2020 is the 50th Anniversary year since the first Dodge Challenger rolled off of the assembly line in 1970. It was canceled in 1974 due to poor sales. Today, the Challenger is one of the most popular cars on KZread. Let's take a look at the history of the Dodge Challenger that includes some of the ups and downs, misses, and most importantly, the HITS of the Dodge Challenger!

I've owned Mustangs for nearly 20 years...I'm very happy with my 21 Scat...Dodge is definately a force to be respected.
I am sooooooo impressed by this video. Well written, well produced. I've seen so many videos about Challengers. This one stands out in the crowd!

Hey dude, you missed a few things: The T/A was a package on the Highline, much like the A66 340 package (it would be an R/T option in '71), it carried a JH23 prefix, and 1411 T/As came in automatic. That fourth trim level was the Jx29 Special Edition! In '71, the Deputy was rumored to have its own vin trim level, the JL21, I've never seen one. The '72-'74 cars also got their taillights from the Diamante show car. Well done, my dude!

Hell yeah, even just the regular SRTs are sweet and love mine. That's if you want to call them regular, or is one of those instances where ya insert..for lack of a better word to think of at the time lol 🤣
Thank you for all the time and effort it took to make such an outstanding video. I personally am a Mopar or no car man. My family only owned Chrysler vehicles so I was literally born into them. I like the way you addressed the short comings when it was warranted and praised it when it was deserved. It was truly a honest video about one of the most iconic cars made. Thank you sir, job well done.

Thanks for this video! I have always been a Challenger fan, and finally bought a new 2019 GT. Great car, decent performance (305 HP V6), 8 speed automatic, good handling, great ride, good looks, good gas mileage....the list goes on. Great car for the price, and it is a joy to get in and just drive.

This video made me appreciate my V6 and my Hellcat Challenger so much more as if I wasnt in love with the car already. I remember seeing the concept for this car in ‘06 when I was in the 6th grade. I said I’ll have that car and Challengers are the only cars I ever owned.
This is one of the better Challenger documentries and a great video, Thank you

Fantastic video man! I just bought a '21 Scat Pack Widebody (my first new car in 26 years of driving), and it was great to learn a bit of its history. As a lifelong gearhead, I knew the Challenger's broad strokes, but you definitely filled in the details with the Ken Burns treatment here. I sure appreciate what must have been the ton of work that went into this.

Great video. Loved it. Had many Challengers in my life. Now I have the 2015 white Hellcat and a 1970 RT with the U code in white.
I've very much enjoyed this video and shared it with my friends and family. My first car was a 69 Camaro, and later in life I had gotten the 70 Challenger. It had the 340 and rear spoiler with four pipes on both sides. Sorry I ended up selling it, but I enjoyed it while I had it. 😎

Seems I'm a bit late to finding this video but well done! I loved how there were talking points on all the trim levels, not just the most notable ones. Also, as a Scat Pack 1320 owner, it was cool to see it included as well! It is honestly a mostly forgotten or unknown variation of the SPs.

Wonderfull documentation (I would say the *best* of all) - thanks a lot for it! Heartly greetings from out of Germany, of a huge fan of *Dodge* and their *"Challie" Redeye* (and current also of their new *Charger Redeye* "family car"), including the *Jeep Grand Cherokee Trackhawk* with the Hellcat engine (hoping they will implant also the Redeye engine, before the production of this SUV will end...)! Addendum: The next step by Dodge was made: The *RAM TRX...* ...I *love* these guys at Dodge!

Wow! Amazing video, man! One thing I want to add is regarding the yellow turn signal / daytime running lamps and how you feel they look wrong. I really respect your opinion but want to add that most of us Challenger owners actually love them as we can see our fellow owners coming at us from far away, and also in the 2016 and up it’s still there along with the halo. You can turn them on or off depending on your personal preference. Again, really great video, man!

This video was very well crafted, narrated, and put together. I remember over the course of last year I was searching for my dream car (Dodge Challenger RT) during the last call and I would ultimately come back to this video over and over again just for fun as well as for comfort. I succeeded my mission last July (2023) and I must say this video really fueled my inspiration even more along the way. To this very day I still watch it and any content you put out I ultimately vow to support, even the NBA stuff which is also another one of my passions. Thank you for your continuous inspiration and knowledge. Looking forward to all of your work of the future. 👑 Thank you !

Your modern V-6 would have smoked a stock 340 from the 70's and with the AC blasting and an automatic transmission and you still would not spill one drop of your coffee from the built in cup holders. It also will get upper 20's on the highway. Try that back in 73.
