Car Spotlight: 1970 Dodge Challenger R/T

When I hear the term "American Muscle",  this very car comes to mind. The 1970 Dodge Challenger R/T 426 HEMI. I love these old MOPAR cars, though you wouldn't know it based on my post history...

. 

Of all the colors you could get the Challenger in, this, known as "Plum Crazy Purple", is my favorite.

.

This car had the legendary NASCAR-developed 426 Hemi V8 making 425hp and 490lb-ft of torque.

.

Looking at the rear of the car, you notice a few features that are carried over to the current Challenger. The taillamp shape and the rectangular exhausts, for example.
