The Dodge Challenger is the name of three different generations of automobiles (two of those being pony cars) produced by American automobile manufacturer Dodge. However, the first use of the Challenger name by Dodge was in 1959 for marketing a "value version" of the full-sized Coronet Silver Challenger.
From model years 1970 to 1974, the first generation Dodge Challenger pony car was built using the Chrysler E platform in hardtop and convertible body styles sharing major components with the Plymouth Barracuda.[2]
The second generation, from model years 1978 to 1983, was a badge engineered Mitsubishi Galant Lambda / Sapporo,[3] a coupe version of an economical compact car.
The third and current generation is a pony car that was introduced in early 2008 originally as a rival to the evolved fifth generation Ford Mustang and the fifth generation Chevrolet Camaro.[4]
In November 2021, Stellantis announced that 2023 model year would be the final model year for both the LD Dodge Charger and LA Dodge Challenger, as the company will focus its future plans on electric vehicles rather than fossil fuel powered vehicles, especially with tougher automotive emissions standards of being rolled out and required by the Environmental Protection Agency for the 2023 model year.
For its introductory model year the Challenger was available in two series, Challenger and Challenger R/T, and three models, two-door hardtop, Special Edition two-door hardtop, or convertible.[14][better source needed] The base model was the Challenger with either an inline-6 or V8 engine. The Special Edition hardtop, available on either the base Challenger or on the R/T, added a number of appearance, convenience, and comfort features.[15] Produced for the 1970 model year only, this more luxurious SE specification included as standard a vinyl roof with a "SE" medallions on the pillars, a smaller "formal" rear window, leather and vinyl bucket seats, and an overhead interior console that contained three warning lights (door ajar, low fuel, and seatbelts).[16] The standard engine on the base model was a 225 cu in (3.7 L) Straight-6. The standard engine on the higher trim models was a 318 cu in (5.2 L) V8 with a 2-barrel carburetor. For 1970, the optional engines included the 340 and 383 cu in (5.6 and 6.3 L), as well as the 440 and 426 cu in (7.2 and 7.0 L) V8s, all with a standard 3-speed manual transmission, except for the 290 hp (216.3 kW) 383 cu in. engine, which was available only with the TorqueFlite automatic transmission. A 4-speed manual was optional on all engines except the 225 cu in (3.7 L) Inline-6 and the 2-barrel 383 cu in (6.3 L) V8. - Авто та транспорт
Vanishing Point comes to mind. I remember that movie with Barry Newman.
Good thing the plastic is white for those that build it as so.
I remember my Dad took me to see it at the movies, surely too young for some of it! Good Dad.
I remember my dad doing the same. I was a teenager in the 70's. My pops was a die hard gear head. When he came back from Nam all he wanted to do was build cars. He was the one that got me hung up on car movies. I think my favorite will always be Bullitt. @@goratgo1970
The Challenger in the movie wasn't a vinyl top, though.
@@kevin64573 Bonus point to AMT having a separate top, making it easier to sand away vinyl texture! I would use one of my sanding boards.
Same kit
Love the Challenger!!! 👍
I like the Challenger with the black vinyl top.
Looks good
On a 1970 Challenger the reverse light is in the middle of the back panel that has Dodge in it. 71 Challengers have the back up lights just how you painted this one. I really enjoy your videos
Nice
Love the color choice - it's nice to see a Dodge Challenger that isn't orange or purple, and it's also good to see how this AMT kit builds up vis a vis the Revell/Monogram T/A. I also like the collector tin, which were I to get this kit I would definitely use as a spares box.
Just love that shade of metallic green fantastic.
Very nice looking build. Great color choice. I really wish the spoiler on the cover car was in the kit. Thanks for sharing.
Green is the perfect color for this model, super cool!
Great color pick and awesome build.
You are 100% correct by attaching the roof first before painting. I did not do that because I’ve thought it would be easier to paint it a different color. It was very difficult to put together after everything was painted.
Wow I like the body color!
Kinda nice to see this kit's still around. I know it dates back to the late 70s/early 80s. The mold looks to have held up really well.
Really nice build. I love the metallic paint on these builds.
I think spray on truck bed liner would be great for vinyl tops, Gives a fantastic texture.
I like the green, great build.
Turned out better then I thought it might! Reminds me of my 1974 Challenger Rallye, in Deep Sherwood metallic, a little deeper green with it’s black vinyl top!
Nice work
👍👍
This kit always seemed interesting, mostly their 426 Hemi with hood shaker, but I always heard how the roof was a nightmare to put on, which made me stay away from it. Also, I'm not really a vinyl roof person.
Nice build. Just in case you didn't knew, the '70 Challenger reverse light is in the middle, under the Dodge text.
Interesting, it has the detents in the center of the taillights, so I colored it in. Easy enough to fix. Thanks!
@@hpiguy Or you could keep it that way and say the guy customized his with '71 taillights (tho, IRL, I'm not sure if they'd fit in there).
Chris, the detents in the middle of the taillights is supposed to represent the reflector part of the taillights. Like the other viewer said, the backup lights are in the "Dodge" panel between the two taillights.
As usual....... great video Chris, keep em comung I'll keep watching
Love the green, black hood decal would look nice with flat clear on it😊
That is an awesome green!
Mr steady hand at his best as usual,super great job and great attitude
HEY-DAR 👊😎👍: Fellow Cheddar-head LOL. Looks like a re-pop of the Yankee Challenger, without the shotgun style air grabber? Very nice kit review as always, if only others would do the same. Nice Build it's worth a slash. Watch You Later, (MODEL CAR😎MAN CAVE)
Looks as great as always Chris nice build and the color is perfect with the black vinyl top 👍👍an as always thanks for the time you put into are videos
old dixie challenger, one of amts less desirable kits, nice tin, nice build chris
Nicely done!
Good choice of colors!
They just came in today as the green hornet too finally too, and the 69' barracuda , sweet sweet rides!😊
That came out so nice. Makes me wanna build one.
Another nice build!
I do have the USPS stamps and unfortunately the 1970 Chevelle is a convertible.
I say that wondering if AMT will press on and release it as such - sure hope they do!
I love that color green.
Nice job Chris! Thanks for the review.
Weird timing! I just started prepping a couple of days ago the 2001 AMT/ERTL issue of this same kit but with the Shaker hood scoop so I'll be watching this video with great interest to see if you strike any pitfalls. One thing I notice my older kit has the convertible boot but it appears Round 2 deleted it from this issue. Curious. Anyway, I'll be buying this new issue for sure. Thanks from an Aussie fan for showing this and all your builds mate.
Nice job on what has been a mediocre kit for the last 40+ years since Maychbox/Lesney owned AMT.
Good to see they FINALLY fixed the hood, tho the 'fake Hemi' valve covers are still there.
What are the two limps on top of the intake manifold??? Six Pack indicated triple two barrels...
the tabs on the lower rear panel were intended to go inside the rear fenders.
Maybe the best assembly of that awful kit I've seen
Mine is on the must build list
The big drawback to this kit back when and now is that it's a vinyl top (or convertible) only. No hardtop option.
Just like real Dodges -most came with vinyl roofs, started with the White Hat Boys ad campaign late 60s. It's why I went 'Cuda. But then this kit isn't vinyl top - it's whatever you make it. It can't be a convertible because that's not what the 'vert A pillar looks like and there is NO BOOT where the top would go! 👀
Nice job mate👍
I have been watching you for 2 yrs now and I love and agree how you build and use canned spray paint I also do that a lot, but some times I use my Airbrush depending on certain finishes I use, I just want to know why don’t you use politics chrome pen around windows it looks better, but as you say build for our self. Keep up the great work you’re doing.
anyone else recognize the music is from the tom and jerry cartoon where they are in the tuna canning plant with the shark?
You didn't have to Dodge any issues with this kit. Maybe you'll celebrate with a "brew" from a six pack. Beauty looking model. Thanks
I wish they included some pad printed white lettered GoodYear tires..
Great build and tutorial as always Chris! Can't remember though...did the parts include a convertible boot? Rock on, Brother!
I don't recall seeing one, but that would have been nice.
I've got the 2001 AMT/ERTL issue of this kit with the Shaker hood scoop. The convertible boot IS included so I don't know why it's been deleted in this new issue.
Nice!..
You could build your own Vanishing Point model right there complete with distressed look of the actual car.
You did a beautiful job on that one. I think you chose the perfect colour. That kit is getting added to my wishlist immediately.
Great build. Interesting that the roof is separate. I'm thinking it might be for a release of a Challenger RT/SE which had a different rear window treatment. The steering wheel on this kit is correct for an SE but not a regular R/T according to a chart I found. However, I can't find any pictures of an RT/SE interior with this wheel. Weird.
We will have to wait for Revell to come out with a nice Challenger like they did with the 1970 Cuda.
Round2 didn't do you any favors. Glued on roof??? No. No Polyglas DEE-KLES or tampos? Rallye wheels should be what you glue to the inside piece- paint them the shade of silver used that year, then have the trim rings on the chrome sprue, center caps again should be separate because they were a different color but despite all that you KILLED IT. Not a green fan of anything except my "tree" but hey, your SKILL trumped the green thing. You WORKED it. X cellent. My 2nd car as 21 year old was a 'Cuda so I knows my Rallye wheels. I'm LA for decades but Cuda years were CT - you ever see a jacked up Cuda with Rallye wheel G60 snow tires? I had one! 👀
I remember when this was the old Yankee challenger model, love the kit,BUTthat intake manifold and fake hemi valve covers are from the johnny lightning model with a small diecast i beleive, still a great model, i made a Dick.Landy race car with mine.
Hi Chris, nice kit! Did you decide not to mount the side mirrors to the doors? Just noticed them missing during your final assembly review.
I didnt notice it but do they have a option to build it as a convertible?
Hello and good evening to you Hpiguys Workshop! I have a question for you which goes like this what is your origin are you rich american or hispanic, thought you play that kind of, music when do you paint the model parts for the cars you build in the videos here on UA-cam every week mvh Chrille from Stockholm, Sweden.
another two peice chassis smh make it all on peice gonna pass on this one nice work as always...
😊🤩🤗💯😁⭐🚗🚗🚗🚗
Sorry Chris, I'm doing an R/T Convertible from this, dude.
I wish I took pictures of mine before I cleaned the pieces up, It was the worst kit I ever seen, Every single part had a crazy amount of extra plastic on them, It took me days to clean them all off lol.
Based on that awful Yankee Challenge kit from the 80s, which actually had a top down convertible option and a blower and a non vinyl hardtop...so basically no improvement to the kit plus less parts except for that odd attempt at a hemi 😢
Thats the green they should have used on the 70.........F7 and F8 were ugly......too bad F6 was a 69 color only
