Top 20 Muscle Cars of All Time

14. 1970 Dodge Challenger R/T 426 Hemi

Featured in the 1971 film Vanishing Point about a man speeding across the country with cops and angry bikers in pursuit, the Dodge Challenger R/T is an iconic vehicle. The 2-door 1970 Dodge Challenger came in both hard-top and convertible models and had optional leather seats and a smaller rear window. It was built on a Plymouth Barracuda platform, but had a two-inch longer wheelbase. The V8 426 Hemi engine produced 425 horsepower. The Challenger came with either a 3-speed TorqueFlite automatic or an optional 4-speed manual with pistol-grip shifter. The Challenger’s hood had two hood scoops, which could be substituted with a “shaker” scoop, so called because of its vibrating motion when the car was moving.
