1971 Dodge Hemi Challenger R/T 426/425 HP, 4-Speed

 Amazing paint considering it's 43 years old.

It took five long years for Chrysler to respond to the Ford Mustang with the E-body Cuda and Challenger, but the wait was worth it to many Mopar fans when they saw the new lineup included the mother of all street engines, the 426/425 HP Hemi V-8. Hemi Challengers were exceedingly rare; this 1971 Hemi Challenger R/T, an original example with complete documented owner history, is one of just 70 built and one of only 49 known extant today. It is one of just six remaining examples factory finished in Black and, remarkably, it is also the only one known to still wear its original factory paint.
