1972 Challenger with the interior and power train from a new Charger Daytona













Great way to make the most of a bad situation with a wrecked rare new Charger. Best looking 72 Challenger I've seen as well.

3 beautiful Mopars from the Mopar Alley at SEMA this year, a 1969 Coronet, a 1970 Challenger convertible, and a 1971 Barracuda Convertible, and all have a hemi







 The 71 Barracuda, possibly the finest choices of options available on a Mopar are on this "Make what you really want" example... the wing, the billboard engine callout, the gills, and the shaker hood scoop.

 awesome




 when building the car they wanted, they chose air conditioning (which I thin was never offered with a Hemi with the huge air filter housing, and the 1970 shifter...

 I guess they didn't want to call their Coronet a Super Bee, or preferred the new truck Rumble Bee stripe instead. Possible more the first idea, because they didn't add a Super Bee to the trunk lid, or the grill


Mod Squad Challenger just auctioned, only 2 were made in 1972 that were convertible, both were for the tv show




see this gallery of the restoration of one at http://www.streetfire.net/photo/mod-squad-challenger-tv-car_1304342.htm or see a feature in Mopar Muscle Sept 1987
One just sold at Mecum at Monterey auction for 48500

The 1971 Dodge Challenger Convertible offered was one of the two or three cars used for on-screen work during the 1972 Mod Squad season. Since Chrysler discontinued Challenger Convertible production after 1971, this car was updated with 1972-specific front and rear components, creating an interesting hybrid. Highly optioned with an automatic transmission, bucket seats and a console, it was also used as a PR/show car in period. Today, it displays an exterior refinish dating back 10 years
