Two of the most eye-catching survivors from Chrysler’s high-water mark of muscle-car styling are set to roll across the auction block during a July 2026 sale, both scheduled for the Saturday run day.
The first, a 1970 Dodge Challenger T/A, wears its factory FM3 Panther Pink paint paired with a black vinyl top, a combination that turned heads when it left the assembly line and still does. The two-door retains its matching-numbers 340 Six Pack engine, fed by a factory Edelbrock intake mounting three Holley carburetors beneath the correct air cleaner assembly. Power flows through a 727 TorqueFlite automatic to an 8 3/4 rear. The car carries period-appropriate equipment throughout, including OE exhaust manifolds with side-exit pipes, an original-style battery and cables, Rallye gauges, a wood-rimmed wheel, a console with a Slapstick shifter, an AM/FM radio with a rear-mounted antenna, Rallye wheels wrapped in BF Goodrich radials, spoilers and a remote driver’s mirror.
The companion offering, a 1970 Plymouth Barracuda, makes an equally bold statement in Moulin Rouge with a magenta strobe stripe and a vinyl top. Under the hood sits a matching-numbers 340-cubic-inch V-8 rated at 275 horsepower, topped by a Carter carburetor and backed by a 727 TorqueFlite and an 8 3/4 rear with 3.23 gears.
The Barracuda is heavily optioned, listing air conditioning, power steering, power disc brakes, electronic ignition, tinted glass, fender-mounted turn signals, window louvers, a Go Wing rear spoiler, an AM eight-track with four speakers, a RimBlow steering wheel and Rally wheels on Goodyear Polyglas GT tires. The black interior is rounded out with Rally gauges, a Slapstick shifter and correct trunk furnishings.
Both cars come with supporting documentation, including an inspection report for the Barracuda, and stand as well-preserved examples of an era when factory color charts were as aggressive as the engines beneath the hood.
