The first Challenger was a pony car introduced in the autumn of 1969 for the 1970 model year. It rode on the E platform that it shared with the smaller Plymouth Barracuda, with a two inch longer wheelbase, its own sheet metal and a more luxurious interior meant to take on the Mercury Cougar. It was sold as a hardtop and as a convertible, with engines from a slant six to the 426 Hemi. Sales were strong in the first year and then fell, and production stopped in the spring of 1974. Its model years run from 1970 to 1974.
