Overview
In 1973, sales of the Dodge Challenger actually increased, the only year this happened in the first generation of Challengers. But the pony car that once hit 425 bhp and boasted a quarter mile in 14 seconds was battling growing government emission regulations at the height of the environmental movement, and the Challenger now only offered two V8 engine types -- the basically wimpy 318, 150 bhp or the 340, 240 bhp. While less power than the old Hemi, the lighter weight of the car actually improved handling, turn ratios, and was quick off the line. I wanna go fast!!!
Mid-year, the Dodge Challenger tried to compensate with a 360 V8, 245 bhp. It added more weight to the car, and only added five horsepower, but it was the best way Dodge could compromise between adding power and staying within emission control limits.
In 1973, the Rallye edition was dropped, although customers could build their own from the options list. The exterior remained virtually the same as the 1972 model.

My car has had a rough 35 year existence and still needs lots of work. If you look beyond the pretty paint, its actually not that pretty. It has more rust than I probably even know, everything except the radiator leaks, anything electrical is a disaster, and it basically was restored very badly. Having said that, it is still a challenger. It is very fast although considering what it is I wish it was faster (and it will be soon), it handles surprisingly well although the steering is a little vague, its good and loud, and its an American Icon. It gets looks everywhere I take it, and it scares all the little kiddies and thier riced-out imports.
