Saw this 1971 Dodge Challenger in Las Vegas and came across this fast looking 1971 Dodge Challenger and just had to take a video of it. It had a big Hemi engine.
This 1971 Dodge Challenger R/T Coupe is priced at $15,000. It comes equipped with a 440 cubic inch V8 engine, automatic transmission, power steering, power brakes, air conditioning, AM radio, tilt wheel, cruise control, dual exhausts, vinyl top, and bucket seats.
In 1971, Dodge introduced the Challenger, a muscle car that was unlike anything else on the road. With its high performance engine, sleek styling, and iconic rear wing, the Challenger became a legend. Today, Dodge still makes Challengers, but now they’re all equipped with modern safety features like forward collision warning, lane departure warning, blind spot monitoring, and automatic emergency braking.
