In 1970, Trans Am Racing was reaching its peak. Professional drivers like Sam posey and Dan Gurney wowed spectators with breathtaking skills as they piloted their factory Challenger T/A and AAR Cuda race cars on road courses across America. SCCA rules required a limited number of street version cars be made available to the public....making 1970 a great year for buyers looking for true high performance with race car looks.
There were approximately 2500 Challenger T/A\'s and 2800 AAR Cudas built for the street. You could go into a dealership and order one powered by a 340 cubic inch motor, sporting three 2 barrel carburators (commonly referred to as a \'six pack\' set up), a factory black fiberglass hood complete with scoop, and side exiting exhaust pipes. all for about $3700. What a year to buy and drive a brand new Dodge or Plymouth muscle car!
