The Dodge Challenger, revving into the scene in 1970, was Chrysler’s late entry into the pony car race, sporting a design inspired by the Charger. Despite muscle car sales tanking by ’71, the Challenger made a valiant effort with options ranging from a humble six-cylinder to a monstrous 426 Hemi.

It came with high-tech (for 1957) options like power brakes, a “surround sound” radio, and even an optional electric razor – because who doesn’t want a clean shave on the go?
