  • 1970 Dodge Challenger T/A Panther Pink Muscle Car Of The Week Video #24
    Dodge Muscle Cars came in a wide variety of crazy colors back in the day... come to think of it, they do now, too! This 1970 Dodge Challenger T/A is a great example of an awesome car in an over-the-top color. The Challenger T/A was the Trans Am race car for the street. It featured a beefed-up 340 V8 with a stronger block, special cam, free-breathing heads, and the super cool 6-Pack triple carb setup. The car had racy styling cues from bumper to bumper, and although they claimed 290 HP, these were potent performers embarrassing many cars with much more under the hood. However, the most notable feature on this example from the Brothers Collection is the paint code FM3, Panther Pink.

      Well paint a Prius Pink and see how long that last ! Well isn't that sweet . Next get a doll . Just so you can say it belongs to her . Then put a tag on it that says is hers and so am I. Kidding I think. 🤨😂

      But it would look Great if it was blue or yellow. Hay honey get me my Pepto-Bismol I m feeling up set. I put it on the work bench. Damnit I thought that was the paint for Van dam's Challenger. Now I think I'll just lay down and die. Wowww. You make as well because he's going to kill you!! He might look pretty in pink. And we'll see how you look in black and blue. My blue eye glass's made it look purple. Same as your eyes will be if you don't paint that really quick. His wife s name isn't Mary K by chance is it.😏 🥵☺️😂😂

    In my opinion, the two incarnations, AAR and TA are the best sounding domestic cars from idle to full scream. Working at a classic car dealership, I happened upon an opportunity to record the T/A we had in stock.
    I needed to shower afterwards. The lope at idle is just nasty delicious.

      The AAR Cuda and Challenger T/A are two of my absolute favorites. I'm a Mopar guy but all the other Trans Am race cars were awesome machines...Boss 302 Mustang/Cougar Eliminator's, Z28 Camaro's, and AMC Javelin Trans Am's. Loved the Trans Am Racing Series

  • @RallyeGuy340

    I remember a burnt orange T/A we would visit with when we were kids back in the 80s. We had a list of muscle cars weed visit every weekend around our state of R.I. and neighboring Massachusetts. We never got to see or chat with the owner of it unfortunately,cuz sometimes weed get lucky enough to bench race with some of the owners and hear some great stories and history of the local racing scene before we were old enough to become involved with it. Sometimes we even got lucky enough to buy them even!!! Great times! Thanks again for sharing all of these treasures of the past guys, I really appreciate all you guys do and the brothers trotting these out once a week for us and in a way letting us play with their toys for a bit! Please thank them personally if you can and don't mind doing so Kevin,it's truly the highlight if my days sometimes! Thanks again y'all!!!

    I almost bought one new in 1970 but my parents nixed the idea. I ended up with a 71 Demon 340 which was cheaper and faster! I still own a 71 Demon 340 today! Fast and easy to work on!

    I am surprised he did not point out the huge popularity of the Saturday morning Pink Panther Cartoon and Pink Panther movie franchise that was clearly the inspiration for the name of the color Panther Pink.

    That could very well be the one I almost bought 1976. Louisville, KY....was dropping off a friend to pickup a car at a used car lot. Walk back to the garage and there’s a ‘70 Challenger Trans Am 340 Six Pak in Panther Pink sitting there with a flat rear tire. When my friend is settling up, casually mention “What’s the deal on the ‘70 Challenger T/A back there?” A guy goes “wadda ya know about that?” “One of the rarest colors; was mopar’s entry to go up against the Firebird T/A..... Salesman says “It’s my personal car and I’d take $1800 for it.” Was driving a ‘74 Impala; we talk; show up 3 weeks later cash & Impala in hand......salesman breaks the news. 2 hours after I left; guy came in and dropped $1800 cash. Heartbreaker.......

Best time I ever got was a 13 flat at 110 mph with micket thompson N40 soft compounds.It hooked up so good off the line most of the time Id get a light tire chirp and I was gone.
