Paul Levine, organizer of the festival’s classic car show, and Barbara Faermark, chair of the festival and president of Marc Printing & Graphics, both labeled Lincolnwood Fest a grand success. For car lovers there were 190 classic cars to admire, Paul Levine said. Many people enjoyed the classic car show because it brought back a lot of sentimentality by seeing cars that their older siblings, parents, or grandparents may actually have owned. Faermark and fellow chair members Mark Freedman and Randy Miles booked entertainment acts that would appeal to a variety of people, Faermark said.
Q:
A: The Challenger was introduced in 1970 with two models:
BASE CHALLENGER
hardtop
SE formal hardtop
convertible
CHALLENGER R/T
hardtop
SE formal hardtop
convertible
The standard engine in the R/T was the 383 Magnum. Optional was the 440-4, 440 Six Pack, and 426 Hemi. The 340 was not available on the R/T, no matter what anyone tells you - they're wrong.
The base Challenger could be had with the Slant 6 or the 318 standard. From there, you could get the 383-2 and the 383-4 (almost like an R/T incognito). The 340 also was available on the base Challenger (hardtop and ragtop only) as the 340 Performance Package . . . and this is where the T/A comes in.
As Dodge decided to offer the 340 package on the base Challenger, it only makes sense that the Challenger T/A package was offered on the base Challenger. This package - only available on the hardtop - came with a fiberglass hood similar to the 1969 A12 Super Bees and Road Runners, special striping, side-exit exhaust (except in CA, I believe), a special spoiler package, and a 340 engine with Six Pack carburetors, among other heavy-duty equipment. This model was produced to certify certain modifications legal for Trans-Am racing (get it? T/A? But Pontiac already dibs for the name). The front and rear tires were of different sizes - very unusual at the time - and was the best-handling Challenger of them all. Despite a 1971 advertisement showing the T/A would return, none were built.
Regarding your Mustang question, I'd say the CJ is equivalent to the Challenger's Six Pack. Parts are much easier to find for the Mustang. The Boss 429 was practically hand-built, and in some ways it can't be compared to the Challenger because of the modifications that were required for it to be built. However, bone-stock Boss 429 cars tended to disappoint road testers at the time because it wasn't as fast as it looked (despite 13-second times, like a Hemi Challenger R/T). However, Boss 429s have been super-expensive for a very long time.
The 1972 Charger . . . depends on the model. There was the R/T replacement called the Rallye which had a 400 standard and could have a 340 and 440 optional (about 5 or so Six Packs were built before it was cancelled on the first week). You could also get the 440 on the SE. This was the first year for the low-compression engines, so 1971s tend to be more desirable but the 1972 have their own appeal and can still be fast.
