Laying Down the Power

All 375 of this Challenger R/T's ponies run through a 727 automatic transmission which is operated via a Slapstick shifter. This setup effortlessly gets the power to the Dana 60 rear end.

Interior Features

Although this Challenger is 50 years old, it still comes with factory air conditioning - thankfully. If you ever get sick of listening to that 440 ci powerplant, you can turn on the AM radio or the car's 8-track player.
