The Hemi Challenger, most valuable Mopar muscle
The 426 Hemi Challenger, particularly in convertible form, is among the most valuable American production cars of the era. Documented examples have sold at Barrett-Jackson and Mecum for extraordinary amounts.
Even well-documented hardtops are in the $200,000+ range for correct, numbers-matching cars. The agreed value on a Hemi Challenger must be set through proper appraisal, not a book value lookup.
Cooper's take
The Hemi Challenger is the car that most often comes to me already underinsured to a dramatic degree. An owner bought it for $120,000 several years ago, the market ran to $250,000, and the policy was never updated. I ask about E-body Mopars specifically whenever a classic car owner comes to me.

Frequently asked questions
Are the 1971-1974 Challengers less desirable than the 1970?
Generally yes, though 1971 Challengers remain collectible. Emissions requirements reduced performance after 1971, and the 1973-1974 cars are considered the least desirable of the run. The 1970 remains the peak collectible year.
What is the T/A package and why does it matter for value?
The 1970 Challenger T/A was built for SCCA Trans-Am racing homologation. It featured a unique 340 Six Pack engine, ducktail spoiler, and side-exit exhaust. Only 2,399 were produced. Documented T/As are worth significantly more than base Challengers.
How do I verify a Hemi car is an original Hemi and not a clone?
Fender tag and VIN decoding, engine stamping verification, and broadcast sheet documentation are the methods. Mopar specialists and the Chrysler Historical Services database can assist. Specialty carriers require this documentation to set agreed value on Hemi cars.
