A true Challenger T/A, in Panther Pink, with its original build sheet, original drivetrain and a white top and interior…this nearly perfect #1 example is a bright star amongst marquee muscle cars.  All original sheetmetal, a full rotisserie restoration and as many original and NOS parts as could be found make this one of the most desirable T/A’s in existence.

Panther Pink isn’t quite as “neon” as most think, and this car’s sprayed right. The all original body is outstanding and the paint is perfectly flat and glossy. Both bumpers were treated to a high dollar re-chroming, as were the taillight bezels. The taillights, side markers and front parking lights are all close to perfect. The grille, correct in R/T textured black but with the standard Challenger badge, received a $2600 restoration and is better than any NOS piece you’ll find. The hood is painted with the correct and perfectly applied Organisol textured paint and holds the proper N94-only washer squirters and a very cool Dixco tach. Reveal and drip moldings are highly polished, both splash pans are arrow straight and the stripes, door handles and badges are new and correct. Refinished 15” steel wheels with new trim rings and “dog dish” center caps host new E60 front and G60 Polyglas tires. The glass is excellent, and the windshield has the pre delivery exhaust sticker applied. The ducktail spoiler is the original, and the blackout decal underneath is applied correctly. The vinyl top is even NOS:  From any angle or distance the car’s a real attention grabber, and it’s done right.

The floor pans are as shiny as the topside, with a load of clearcocat, while the rocker panels have their correct blackout treatment. Yes, this car should be undercoated, but with sheetmetal this clean it would be a shame to hide it.  New stainless fuel lines and a new fuel tank and sending unit keep new brake lines and hoses and parking brake cables company. New front end components compliment the original HD suspension with the original front and rear sway bars and power steering box. A new exhaust system runs from the proper original exhaust manifolds to date coded correct T/A mufflers and tips. Proper paint markings dot both front and rear suspensions.  The finishes are concours quality rather OE, making sure the bare metal parts will look as fresh in 20 years as they do today. Wheelwell undercoating is applied correctly.  This is a show car, overdone by factory standards, and it’s built to stay that way.

Lift the fiberglass hood and examine the original, numbers matching mill in its natural environment. That’s the correct 974 radiator topped with a correct cap and overflow tubing connected via reproduction hoses to the engine, carrying coolant with reproduction heater hoses. The original air cleaner assembly with a brand new and correct air filter element tops the original Holleys (4789, 4790 and 4792 from front-to-rear) and their original linkage with a new reproduction choke and idle solenoid. Date coded wires, a date coded fuel filter and a date coded voltage regulator and ballast resistor keep the mill company. A new Antique Auto Battery yellow top group 24 battery connects up with new battery cables providing cranking power while a rebuilt master cylinder and brake booster keep the restored wiper motor company on the firewall. The motor fires up and runs quietly and smoothly, the six pack opens as it should and the original numbers-correct transmission shifts crisply. The car drives as nicely as it looks.

A quick examination of the trunk reveals a new mat over a shiny, perfect floor, appropriately applied seam sealer, the correct jack and the original, date coded space saver spare setup. It’s both correct and attractive, and that isn’t an easy tire to find.

Inside, you’ll sit on very comfortable restored seats with new seat foams. The dash pad is an excellent reproduction of the ’70-only piece with the embossed Challenger nameplate and faux stitching. The door panels are excellent, as are the armrest pads. The headliner is NOS while the Auto Custom Carpet carpeting is new.  The ’70-only AM radio is in place, the gauges are crisply white, the vent cables are new as are the door handles and lock levers. The steering wheel is a mint original with no cracks and excellent grain.

Few Challengers turn heads as T/A’s do, and few T/A’s turn heads like those in Panther Pink. The color combnation is hard to find with only 28 made, and it's unique and well balanced on this car with its black hood and side stripes playing off the white top and interior, and it looks fantastic. The car is rare, the build sheet and original drivetrain and sheetmetal are huge plusses and the restoration is top shelf. This is THE centerpiece of any E body, Mopar, muscle or Trans Am collection.
