Didnt know about this car !! Know of two others. Cool original drivetrain car and a 4 speed https://www.yenko.net/ubbthreads/imag...ins/3gears.gif [/ QUOTE ] Rich P are the other 2 the late Daniel Banker(Florida), and Harold Sullivans cars? Currently known to only be 5 total 70 Dodge Challengers produced in Panther Pink, 6-pack, with Shaker. The other 2 , 1 in Hawaii, 1 Oklahoma Bruce [/ QUOTE ] I assume you mean "known" (to whom?) and not "produced," right? Because when it comes to Mopars, you can't combine options to arrive at a production figure. In total, 41 US-spec Challenger R/Ts were built in Panther Pink, plus an unspecified number of Canadian and export-spec cars. |
Re: PRETTY IN PINK
The Shaker hood is very rare on these cars, because when Chrysler crash tested this conbination of a Challenger with the Shaker hood, they found out that the hood had a nasty habit of coming through the windshield and killing the driver in a frontal crash. https://www.yenko.net/ubbthreads/imag...emlins/eek.gif
Good reason to change the hood design, especially after it went into production. https://www.yenko.net/ubbthreads/imag...ins/tongue.gif 'Cuda has a slightly different set-up, no worries there. |
Re: PRETTY IN PINK
Guys, Thanks for the compliments.
442w30, my known information came from the late Daniel Banker, he was really into the FM3 Challengers, I believe his numbers may have came from Galen Govier. For at least 10 years now 5 1970 FM3 SHAKER HOOD 440-6 Challengers are known to exist, three 4-spds and two auto's. I'm curoius as to where your total of 41 FM3 Challenger R/T's comes from? |

[/ QUOTE ] I know of Daniel, and it's a shame of his recent passing. I never really cared for "known to exist" stuff because not one person has all the knowledge. But the number "41" comes straight from Chrysler's records. Even Galen says 41! But - remember - that's only for US-spec R/T hardtops. It doesn't include other models like R/T SE or R/T ragtop, and it doesn't include cars outside the US border. There probably are another 20 out there, I imagine. My friend has one of those 41, but his has the pink stripe. https://www.yenko.net/ubbthreads/imag...ns/burnout.gif |
